LAKKER DEBUT ALBUM
October 2007
It's a busy month for the 'Bird...
First off, we're proud to say that Lakker will be releasing
their debut album "Ruido" tomorrow, October 5th,
on our very own Lazybird label. It'll be available in all good
record shops and online from iTunes. (Catalogue number LAZYB12,
if you need such info.)
Lakker are Dara Smith and Eomac, who make everything from abstract
glitchiness to rampaging gabba using only a couple of laptops,
the occasional microphone and their considerable musical smarts.
Since they emerged from the late, great band (.undermine.), the
two have been mainstays on the Irish music scene, playing at
festivals like DEAF and Mor, and at clubs like the Remote Viewing
Workshop and Neuromantek.
Their music is a mash up of various different styles and influences
- anything from Miles Davis to Mike Paradinas. In the past Lakker
have played alongside Andrew Weatherall, Kid 606, Andrea Parker,
Exile, Chevron and Decal, among others.
The album launch party for "Ruido" will be held next
Tuesday, the 9th of October, in CrawDaddy, from 8pm, with support
from Decal. It's be 10 euro in, and you'll be able to get the
album on the night (for less than in the shops, even!)

And we've also got a couple of gigs in our usual time and place
of Sunday in Anseo this month as well...
On the 21st, in association with the excellent folks at Rusted
Rail, we'll be presenting Directorsound and Agitated Radio Pilot.

Then the following Sunday, the 28th, it'll be DEAF weekend,
and we're currently planning on doing something in conjunction
with the Alphabet Set, probably starting early and ending late.

And don't forget that we're still doing Radio-Inactivity, our
weekly webcast at http://www.powerfm.org. It happens every Sunday
from 6pm 'til 7:30pm. Tune in, turn up, drone on.
Thanks,
