Get ready for a cross-border heavyweight title fight between two of our most fearsome indie labels as the North’s Smalltown America takes on the South’s Richter Collective. Taking place in The Docker’s Club, Belfast, tomorrow [Thurs, 30 July], it’s sure to a bloody, brutal contest. Make sure and get down early and get yourself a ringside seat. The show starts 9pm and tickets are a tasty £6.
Seconds out…
The Blue Corner – Richter Collective
Not Squares
Belfast, Northern Ireland
With the aim of making people dance, shout and sing-along in one big utterly life affirming package of post-punk, Not Squares have successfully breached the north/south music divide, wowing audiences in Dublin as well as Belfast, not to mention recently signing with the Wexford-based Richter Collective label.
The Vinny Club
Dublin, Rep. Ireland
The Vinny Club is the lovechild of Vinny, bassist in cult Irish band Adebisi Shank. Born out of a dangerous obsession with 8-bit video games and 80’s action movies, his unique brand of synth pop fun will leave you with a grin on your face.
The Red Corner – Smalltown America
Calories (Pictured)
Birmingham, England
Birmingham boys Calories have wasted little time in securing their very own spot in the hearts of math-rock fans the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. Taking cues from the likes of The Hot Snakes, Deerhoof and The Van Pelt, Calories blend these influences with a healthy dose of originality to produce fantastically catchy songs.
LaFaro
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Darlings of the local live scene, famed for their ferocious and startling live performance, LaFaro are one of the true flag-bearers of the underground Northern Irish music scene. With two independently released and critically-acclaimed EPs under their belts, LaFaro are set to lay waste to all before them over the next 12 months with the release of their debut long-player and extensive touring.
