Ballroom # 55 The Boom Boom Room, above Conways Bar, Parnell St Saturday 9th of Sept LITE Formed in 2003, LITE’s cinematic sound combines prog-like dexterity and deft interplay between instruments with the harder edge of bands like Shellac. Imagine Crazy Horse playing math rock! Their debut self-titled mini-album features beautiful dual guitar melodies and a propulsive rhythm section on their sometimes dark, sometimes euphoric tunes. The band already have two sold out self-released EPs under their belt and LITE is out on Transduction in the UK and Ireland on July 24th. On its domestic release in Japan, the band were showered with critical superlatives and are currently undertaking their second national headlining tour in July, having also supported many visiting international acts in Tokyo. Their latest single in Japan "Human Gift" topped the college radio charts. In September, Lite will tour the UK & Ireland and a full-length album will follow. http://lite-web.com http://www.myspace.com/liteband http://www.transductionrecords.com Crumb Crumb got together in Dublin in 2004 with no great plan in mind except to play back to basics short indie guitar pop tunes. Like most bands they find it hard to describe themselves, they like to say that they write short sweet melodic jangly pop. They released their debut album 'evenings & weekends' in 2005 and it has received rave reviews to-date. The lads have known each other for a number of years: Derrick and Eamonn together in a band called Hey Paulette in the late 1980's. They released a few vinyl records independently on their own record label called Mickey Rourke's fridge. They recorded a John Peel session in 1989. Derrick went on to play bass in Mexican Pets (who have recently reformed) and Eamonn went on to form The Sewing Room with Dez. http://www.crumbmusic.com http://www.myspace.com/crumbmusic Gaju Gaju are Karen, Michael, Ricki and Joe. They formed in 2005. Before playing in Gaju, Michael and Ricki used to front local noise-core maniacs 'The Killing Spree', while Joe could be found hitting drums for 'Corrigan'. Short biographies are all the rage don't ya know! http://www.myspace.com/gaju The Ghostwood Project Galway's finest, they play loud, heavy music. They formed in the summer of 2004. Since then they've shared the stage with the likes of electric eel shock, jape, Rest, Antiproduct, Giveamanakick, the Redneck Manifesto and the highlight so far has been tour support for iForward Russia!.To date they've released two 3 track demo's that we recoreded in various shed's and kitchen's. http://www.myspace.com/theghostwoodproject /////////////////////////////////// ALSO BOR 56- Friday 22nd of Sept Lower Deck - High Plane Drifters (UK) The Black Diamond Heavies (USA) & Stagger Lee ///////////////////////////////////
