This performance was filmed on a Sony handycam from 2008.

Premiering something new for the blog a new entry in the Live at River Runs Round series, recorded at Plugd Records last month. It's the first ever performance by AVH - a new live electronic music project by Jack Corrigan and Drew Linehan from Hausu Records. No two live sets are the same, and they bring a lovely mix of ambience and danceable grooves on the 21-minute long avhlive1(Dm104), which I shot on a handycam and captured the audio from.

Enda Boyle was the sound engineer on the night. The audio in this video was mastered by Jack after the set. Big love to Jimmy from Plugd, the entire River Runs Round team, and the AVH boys.

Two wildly different Irish hip-hop cuts and a performance by one of the country's most fascinating experimental groups. All they have in common is that I think they're class.

trá pháidín, best band in the country, in perpetual motion

The best band in the country already has three albums out. Trá Pháidín's music strikes this absolutely gorgeous middle ground between post-rock, jazz and Irish traditional music. Under the surface, landscape, infrastructure and psyche combine.
