| Gig of the fortnight: DJ Format |
 Where
and When?
Crawdaddy, Dublin - 6th MayWhy? Hip-hop usually doesn't feature in this gig guide but in the case of this show we're more than happy to make an exception. Brighton's DJ Format will showcase his new Album 'If You Can't Join 'Em, Beat 'Em', the follow up to 2003's outstanding 'Music For The Mature B-Boy' with this gig in Crawdaddy. Also in attendance will be MC's D-Sisive and Abdominal (Jurassic 5). Oddly for Crawdaddy this one is going to run until 3AM so if you're consistently infuriated by the bouncers flinging you out of the venue at 11PM this will make for a nice change. |

 Who?
Bell X1 Where and When?
DeBarras, Clonakilty - 26th April
Savoy, Cork - 27th April
Gallery On Gladstone, Clonmel - 28th April
Radisson Hotel, Galway - 29th April
Waterside Theatre, Derry - 30th April
Empire Music Hall, Belfast - 1st MayBell X1 complete their extensive Irish tour this week. The dates thusfar have featured plenty of songs from their upcoming album 'Flock' and their new, Talking Heads and disco influenced material sounds fantastic. The band are headed off to the US soon to take advantage of their new found O.C. inspired notoriety so this is the last chance you've got to see them around these parts for a while. |

The Vault, Cork - 27th April
Dolan's, Limerick - 28th April
Roisin Dubh, Galway - 29th April

 Who?
Willy MasonWhere and When?
TBMC, Dublin - 28th AprilThe sickeningly young Willy Mason is the latest in a long line of 'New-Dylans' (come in Conor Oberst, your time is up) to be tagged with that horrendous label. He returns to Ireland following last years well received Sugar Club performance. |
 Who?
The UrgesWhere and When?
TBMC, Dublin - 30th AprilThis gig will see the launch of the Urges first single "Around (& around again)". Support on the night comes from the Mighty Stef. |
