Frantics @ The Shaw

oi oi

for those of you who aren't familiar with frantics let's give you a brief introduction.
before the madnees ensues at antics, we at bodytonic music like to do something more relaxed in the george bernard shaw just around the corner.

think
deerhunter // no age // times new viking // jay reatard // dan deacon
crystal castles // evangelicals // wolf parade // a sunny day in glasgow
fuck buttons // atlas sound // a aplace to bury strangers

better still we bring you the best in new irish music, with a band playing live almost every wednesday

in the last few months we have brought you
the minutes // autumn owls // the mighty stef // zealots // david kitt
warlords of pez // midge // kill city defectors // redreck // animal channel
the funeral suits // the parks // the butterfly explosion // new amusement
le galaxie // stagger lee // dark room notes // grand pocket orchestra // distractors

the best part of all??
its free in

every single wednesday. its completely free in.
loadsa cheap garlge too. all shots are €3 and pitchers of castlemaine are a tenner.

spark out!

lost on yer merry way

club nme launch!

button factory!

july 14th!

headline on the night is cadence weapon with support from the wonderous super extra bonus party!

this is gonna be a weekly night and entry is €5/8 on the door depending on how fashionably late (read:well oiled) you wanna be!

http://www.myspace.com/cadenceweaponmusic

think a 22 year old cooler than Kanye with enough style to tour with final fantasy. ye-ah!

in other news, this year's lovebox day-long festival just doesn't seem to stand up to the quality of last year- both on a basis of calibre of performers (last year's headliners:super furry animals, the rapture, jape, groove armada; this year: maximo park, ehhh...paolo nutini...) or the venue (last year:malahide .vs. the drabness of marlay park this year).

saying that, i'll most probably roll along for more "free" bacardi on august 23rd - early ticket price €49.20

love life and triumph (arcs of triumph @ antics blog)

good morning, afternoon or evening,

this is our first post on the antics blog from the arcs of triumph. we'll be talking all things electronic, your microwave may even turn up in this if it makes a decent sound.
for those who have no idea who we are hit up our myspace @
www.myspace.com/thearcsoftriumph

or if bebo is your thing
www.bebo.com/thearcsoftriumph

we'll be posting a podcast right here and on our myspace & bebo pages from (hopefully) next week. this will have various ramblings about what's going on in electronic music in dublin and it will feature exclusive tracks and mixes from dublins up and coming and already established dj's and producers.


so on to our first recommendation!

we have the honour of having the dirty bassline driven insanity of pirate soundsystem down at tetric on the 3rd of july.
these two chaps from london have been causing a stir in clubs in the uk. they seem to be churning out dj sets hooked on every popular sound coming out of london at the moment. think rave reggae, dubstep, grime, breakbeat, and that's only the tip of the iceberg!

they have a remix list that reads like an honour roll too. remixing for such artists as bonde do role, shitdisco & hadouken!

for a taste of pirate soundsystems noise follow the links below and turn up your bass

pirate soundsystem- loves hit

pirate soundsystem- scream if you wanna go rasta

wiley- wearing my rolex(pirate soundsystem rmx)

this week at tetric in the hub we have 3 of dublins finest acts down spinning the good stuff!

first up we have the four lads with a keen taste for rum, of course its drag queen bingo
then we have the trashed resident in the form of gavxmas
and to top off the line up we have the vinyl genius of jamie clarke!

so if you're about this thursday pop down to the hub and have a dance, sure its only a fiver in and we have tons of cheap drink!

tetric myspace

anyone knocking about this friday can catch us playing in mc gruders too supporting brian taaffe!


so thats it from us! next week we'll hopefully have the podcast up and running and i hope you enjoyed reading this because while i was typing i burnt my toasted cheese sandwich and now im quite peeved.....

they don't give it back, they don't give it back

this wednesday at antics: sweet jane!

http://www.myspace.com/officialsweetjane.

this is well *well* worth catching. i saw them a few months back with duke spirit at the village and more recently black rebel motorcycle club in the academy. if based on the calibre of supporting these bands alone, you would be a tool to miss this gig.

they match the standoffish, gritty cool of any of their counterparts with boy/girl ease and have a belting repertoire of dirty rock songs to (black)boot.

sweet.

jane.

oh, also shane did a pretty sweet (i know, i know) poster for the gig. have a look.

also get ready for the first arcs of triumph post, coming soon!

antics loves u!

you can do athletics

so prince cancelled his gig - the prick. saying that, i don't know how many people i talked to yesterday said "ah sure that's 120e in my arse pocket". the proof is in the puffing.

f.i.n.a.l.l.y. the new santogold, pharrell williams and strokes track is unveiled - my drive thru. i heard it this morning but sadly my poxy connection won't let me post it.  you can get it at the link below, however.

http://www.nme.com/artists/pharrell-williams 

i'd like to take this opportunity to personally welcome julian casablancas back. feast or famine - i'll definitely take one.

round antics way tonight is the second performance inside a year of we are the physics! they wear horn-rimmed specs, are glaswegian, and three quarters of the band have the same name - saves any dodgy mislabelling. get thee there!

oh and their songs are pretty deadly - silly me!

but here comes the fall

so oxegen is a month or so away and, as is tradition, on the eve of the weekend festivities, one of the lineup bands warms us up, so to speak. in the past kasabian at spirit (the good ol' days) was a suitably scorching affair, with tokyo police club last year rendering the hub more sticky than usual.

this year, sam fogarino makes his decks return to the academy (proper) as part of his "music freestyle" side earner on thursday july 10th. last time (december 07) was a gritty affair with mixed crowd feelings from what i heard, but whether you're destined for punchestown or not, i reckon it's definitely worth a look. he bravely billowed out everything from missy elliott and television to kitsune remixes on his last visit - what is not to love! 

support on the night will come from dj kitty kat and the conts and doors are at 22.30. tickets are 17.50e and sold out like...ehh...hot cakes last time.

- sam began his intensive culinary hobby at the age of 5 (he enjoys making "cakes" the most).

- he is a true family man, meaning he has been married more than once.

- he has been quoted as having a liking for clothes.

- he is not the most attractive member of interpol.

interpol play oxegen the following day, friday july 11th.

antics loves you!

this morning i woke up...

this week antics looks forward to radiohead weekend! a remarkable contingent of the crew are malahide bound on both friday 6th and saturday 7th. comment us with which day you're (radio)headed...oh dear.

speaking of good shows (in every sense), a few of us hit primavera sound in barcelona a wallop last weekend. dave, ian, shane, sophie, lisa and sarah quite simply lost their tiny minds over an amazing few days. names being taken for next year already. antics stage? i should coco.

the next few weeks at antics sees dublin bands reigning supreme - the funeral suits play a late show tomorrow night (check out photos by maura of them in action - www.myspace.com/thefuneralsuits and while you're at it give black lemonade a listen.), with sweet jane, the minutes, le galaxie, sickboy and new amusement all dropping in soon, most of whom made some noize round frantics way in recent past. sweet as.

antics loves u!
