How very Debbie Harry…
Scanners @ SXSW ‘07
Two great bands descend upon Crawdaddy on November 25th. Brooklyn’s Asobi Seksu headline with support from one of my favorite UK acts, Scanners. This is part of a major UK tour which also includes a November 26th performance at Belfast’s The Speakeasy.
Tickets are €14 and available from Ticketmaster.
p.s Don’t forget Los Campesinos! play Whelans tomorrow night. Tickets still available. It’s gonna be a great night!

So HWCH is almost upon us (exciting!). Below are the weekends schedules with the surprise inclusion of the Odeon as a venue. Tickets are still available (Night pass €15, weekend pass €30) and can be bought from the POD box office which is open 12pm - 11pm each day. Below is my list of Irish recommendations and you can view the individual schedules after the jump.

Not really much to say about MIGALINX because, well I don’t really know much about them. Another group I came across while checking out this year’s lineup, all I can tell you is the following:
Can anybody add anything to that?

Loud. Crunchy. Dirty. Electro. Punk. Rock. Noise Control. Single “Steel” quickly made it to No.2 in the Irish download charts and Noise Control have been snowballing ever since. The band played support to The Prodigy for the Irish leg of their European tour so already their hanging out with the right crowd. My first introduction to Noise Control was last years IMRO showcase and I guarantee you they will take the roof off the Pod room when they play this year’s HWCH. Look out for them at 10pm on the Saturday and be sure to check out the Star Little Thing remix of Steel on their myspace.

A surprise hit (in my opinion) on Phantom FM, I only discovered Gavin Glass while having a gander over this years HWCH lineup. Turns out he also plays with a friend of mine, N.C Lawlor, and combined with a few other heads you’ve got Gavin Glass and the Holy Shakers. With a voice made for this kind of music, current single “Older Than My Years” is a classy Ryan Adams like number thats hard to come by in this country. Debut album “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing” was released in 2005 and 2nd album, simply titled “Gavin Glass & The Holy Shakers” is released this Friday, just in time for their HWCH slot at 8pm. It’s sure to be one of this years more unique HWCH performances.

Dark Room Notes released single “Love Like Nicotine” back in June to rave reviews. With plenty of airplay and media coverage (including a great one page spread in Totally Dublin), the band have been quickly picking up pace. I was lucky enough to see them live when they played as part of this years IMRO showcase and have been a fan every since. Their HWCH session is sure to be jammed as fans egarly await the forthcoming EP “Dead Start Program”, released October 12th through Gonzo Records, with a launch party in Crawdaddy Oct. 13th. Not to be missed.
