(http://www.myspace.com/superextrabonusparty)
After prime slot main stage appearances at Mantua and Life, recent support slots with international acts Bonde Do Role (Domino) and Subtle (Anti-Con), packed out headline shows in Cork and Dublin and the all round critical acclaim (see below) of their 13 track self titled debut album and live shows,
the lads are looking forward to this gig as the last blowout gig of the summer!
Some praise for the debut album:
"Probably the most inventive irish album this decade. Brimming with energy and exoticness." -4/5 stars Sunday Tribune
"Super Extra Bonus Party kick out the jams with a barrage of magnificent sounds and shapes... There's clattering electro, hypnotic indie-pop drones, a bit of dreamy ambience, a belt of dirty hip hop rudeboyisms, and moments where all of the above appear to come perfectly together in one very deep and wide soundclash. "4/5 stars- Irish Times
“Can the best dance album of the year really have originated from Newbridge in Kildare? It’s hard to quibble with the evidence: Super Extra Bonus Party’s self titled LP is a jazzed-up electro triumph featuring snatches of hip-hop and funk. The results are beautifully daft and completely original.” - Irish Independent
"The schizophrenic sequencing and magpie eclecticism of Super Extra Bonus Party's debut is a joyous sign of the times. The mix CD sensibility leads us on an emotional, exhausting but ultimately satisfying journey. It begins, like many great records, with a rousing instrumental; a trumpet that pierces the silence, slippery cut-ups darting back and forth in the background, tropical percussion gets us on our feet..."- Foggy Notions
