SuperExpatBonusParty Go Underground Like Never Before!!
SuperExtraBonusParty have risen so far above Ireland’s ’scene’ and associated dingy venues that they’re circuiting straight to sq 0.1 ver 2.0 in a colourful trail of squiggly lines…the London Underground. Oh, yes…this weekend sees the KilBrazil headers hit Shepherd’s Bush (Ginglik, Fri 4th April) and Islington (Hope & Anchor, Sat 5th).
On the agenda for us SEBP saps back home is a Whelans extravaganza with GrandPocketOrchestra for BudRising…then the lads hit the razz once more… in Spain (Razzmatazz, Barcelona, 17 May). Yes…SuperExtraJammyBastards! I’m bloody delighted for them and equally jealous of all those people out there who are set to discover this blinding talent afresh.
Forget the menopausal Celtic Women compilations, this band is exactly the kind of music we should be exporting and couldn’t ask for crazier ambassadors of rocket-fuelled Irish electronica.
As for you, yes, YOU….that’s enough faffing about. You’d have to be dumb or dead to not have lived the SEBP experience by now and if not, tough. You had your chance! The time has come to call out your Facebook, bully up the Bebo and intrude beyond MySpace into TheirSpace…message, spam, text, bulletin, email, blog, shout-out, throw a SuperExtraBonusPoke at all your foreign friends and spread the love for blu-razbree beats. It’s your duty!!
A reminder to lucky souls: all purchases via SuperExtraBonusPaypal receive a free Everything Flows EP…this includes their eponymous debut album, gorgeous azure 12″ EF vinyl and t-shirts so hot they’d get a Labrador panting….see the MySpace or SEBP.com for more details.
Here’s a taster of what’s in store for our friends abroad:
Everything Flows - The first, official SuperExtraBonusParty video with stellar animation from Al Dunne and Steve MacDevitt.
Propellor - AKA ‘Waking Up‘, a short film by Ger Browne.
