SoundCheck #4: July 17th

suuuppp.

SoundCheck returns, as it tends to do, weekly at Spy on South William St, 7pm-11pm, this Thursday. I know, right?

What do we have in store for you? UnaRocks and Quigo plus some special DJ guests playing za tunes. Last week, everything from MGMT V LCD Soundsystem, Adam Tensta, Nine Inch Nails, Fight Like Apes (unreleased tracks), Kanye, Holy Fuck and Jape dropped, so although it’s impossible to really predict what we are gonna play, it’s always good.

As usual, cocktails are two for one. Mojitos, cosmos, whatever, you dig. Cheap as. Yum. Plus, we have our surprise sweet treats to put some carbs in yo bellies.

Come down, hang out, grab a drink, bring your mates, listen to some good tunes. Rock it.
GIFT the late night indie club is up after.

SoundCheck #3: cup cakes, excited Oxegen goers, and Adam Tensta

Much love to everyone who came down last night; from the Loft Market homies to the Mao massive to DJ Koze (!!) to 6 Foot Spice who is just back from LA after hanging out with Paris Hilton and all the other famous lesbians (srsly) and all the other folks heading down to Oxegen and those just hanging out.

Quigo dropped Adam Tensta - ‘My Cool’ at the end of his set, which made my evening, Sarah J Fox was playing everything from Nine Inch Nails to Postal Service to Levy, and as advertised, UnaRocks was playing the best to come this Oxegen this weekend; Kings of Leon, Hot Chip, Justice, the Ting Tings and beyond.

The cup cakes went down a treat too! We’re going to have to start doubling up on our weekly sweet treats coz y’all are a hungry lot!

Photees from last night, and details about next week’s SoundCheck will be posted soon, so keep an eye on the blog, and enjoy the weekend!

SoundCheck in the Evening Herald

Check out the Herald today to see a lovely photee of SoundCheck queen Sarah J Fox and a nice mention in a great piece on new club nights by the awesomeness that is Tanya Sweeney.

Tanya sez:
“Spy was once the sole preserve of house/dance DJs, but is now home to two most exciting pop/rock club nights. Ostensibly taking its lead from Crawdaddy’s ever-popular Antics night, a host of guitar-loving tastemakers have reclaimed the venue as their own. Each Thursday, blogger Una Mullally and former JJ72 babe Sarah Fox throw together a terminally hip playlist of new tunes at SoundCheck.”

RAWK ON!

Tanya also bigs up Summer Of Love @ Spy on Friday, which is deadly by the way, check it out!

SoundCheck: July 10th ‘Twas The Night Before Oxegen’ (squirrels welcome)

SoundCheck #3: Twas The Night Before Oxegen…

Head down to Spy this Thursday night from 7pm to 11pm for a special ‘Twas The Night Before Oxegen’ SoundCheck with some serious tunage from Sarah J Fox who will be rockin’ it up, Quigo with his masterful twisted indie sensibility, and UnaRocks who will be playing cuts from all your favourite Oxegen bands; White Denim to Holy Fuck, Fight Like Apes to Interpol, Battles to Kings of Leon, Delorentos to Hot Chip and much more.

As usual, we have 2 for 1 cocktails from 8pm to 10pm (so get there early!) and our weekly surprise patisserie selection. Erotic cookies and French Fancies have been previous guest stars, so get ready for some more sweet treats, sweet tunes, and sweet vibes. Ooh, you’re such a charmer, oh no.

SoundCheck #2: monkey bar-tastic!

Thanks a mil to everyone who came down last night, it was a blast! There were great so-fresh-they’re-not-even-available tunes, some UV-illuminated members of Super Extra Bonus Party, a screening of American Werewolf in Paris, French fancies, a bet-winning Nialler9 who dropped Lil Wayne, conspicuous dancing, and all round good vibes.

We think SoundCheck works great in the Monkey Bar @ Spy and we LOVE monkeys! Hopefully we’ll train a monkey to Dj soon, and all will be well.

Stay tuned for details about next week’s Oxegen Eve SoundCheck blow out!

Rock,

DELORENTOS (DJ Set)

Sounds of a System Breakdown

UnaRocks (SoundCheck DJs)

 

 

Delorentos

www.delorentos.net/

At this stage, this north Dublin foursome needs no introduction. Selling out tours across Ireland, drawing audiences of tens of thousands at Oxegen and Electric Picnic, touring the US and Europe to wide acclaim, their Choice Music Prize-nominated album ‘In Love With Detail’ stormed the charts. As DJs, the Delos knock out everything from indie gems past to contemporary brilliance, mixing it up with a tightness that has become their musical trademark.

 

 

Sounds Of A System Breakdown

A one-man indie-electro machine, Sounds of a System Breakdown combines guitars, beats, awesome vocals and other miscellaneous noises for a rocking and very danceable live experience.

 

 

UnaRocks

http://unarocks.blogspot.com

Part of the SoundCheck DJs collective, UnaRocks is probably best known for her blog (unarocks.blogspot.com) that hooks indie fans the world over. Always first to spot the next best thing, her soundtrack to SoundCheck ranges from garage rock, to 8 bit, to feminist indie, to pop, punk, hip hop, electro and beyond. There are two criteria – if it’s new and rockin’, it’s in.

 

 

Extras

Erotic cookies, art, Lili Forberg’s photeebooth, all in the beautiful surroundings of Spy.

 

Get ready to SoundCheck.
