Gig of the fortnight is... Deerhunter

Where and When?
Whelan's, Dublin - 23/08

Why?

Over the past couple of years I don't think there's been a more consistently brilliant and prolific band than Deerhunter and it's associated acts.  Bradford Cox and co. really found their stride with second album Cryptograms and haven't looked back since with another couple of super albums in Microcastle and Wierd Era Cont. AND 2 EP's as well as countless other things that have cropped up for free online.  And then there's the material released by Cox's Atlas Sound side project and as well as that the much overlooked but phenomenal Lotus Plaza album The Floodlight Collective by the band's guitar player Locket Pundt.

Best of the rest

Who? Low
Where and When?
St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny - 15/08

Low are a brilliant, brilliant band.  That's about all that needs to be said about them.

Except that slowcore is a really stupid name for a genre.

Also this fortnight
