Shabazz Palaces, Dublin, May
Jim Carroll
Boom! Shabazz Palaces bring one of the best albums of 2011 “Black Up” (streaming in full below) to Dublin’s Twisted Pepper on May 18. I saw them live at Transmusicales in Rennes last December and they were just so damn good. Tickets for this one are €16 and €14. On a related note (they’re Shabazz cohorts), the ace THEESatisfaction play the same venue on April 19 (tickets €10 and €8) to plug their Sub Pop debut album “awE naturalE”.

Also playing at the Pavilion in Cork on May 19th
Murphisto – either way, don’t miss them! One of the best acts I saw in 2011 – so, so, good
Finally! Been waiting on this announcement since you mentioned Ishmael Butler saying they were going to do an Irish show at some point
tickets got, not making the same mistake I did for Azealia Banks by thinking there was plenty of time to get them!
Yup, I’ll be at the Cork gig. It would be nice to see THEESatisfaction in Cork too but I guess that’s a bit optimistic.
Mind you, unless I can get a babysitter the chances of me being allowed out twice the week before I disappear to Primavera are slim indeed.
