• AAA: King Kong Company @ The Sugar Club, Dublin

    In this installement of AAA (Access All Areas) we hang out with King Kong Company before they performed to a sold out to capacity Sugar Club in Dublin last Saturday night. We sent our photographer Shaun Neary to the venue to document the goings on from set up and sound check, as well as catching support from The Casanova Wave and Nanu Nanu who were more than capable of warming the crowd up before the main act took to the stage. Check out the gallery below for a comprehensive overview of the night.

  • Track Record: Benni Johnston (Cruising)

    Benni Johnston is currently making noises with Cruising, having fronted Logikparty and lending her vocals to a couple of tracks on Bantum’s 2013 debut Legion. Along with a stint as a successful DJ in Dublin having shaped her eclectic taste, it’s only natural that the record collection she has amassed over the years is impressive.

We spend the evening with him in his house in Dublin and chat about some of his most prized possessions. Photos by Shaun Neary.

  • Track Record: Bobby Aherne

    Bobby Aherne is one very busy lad who can be found bouncing between various bands such as No Monster Club, Ginnels and Women’s Christmas to penning a hilarious book about Dublin legends. We caught up with him and his Kalamazoo synth-pop house guest,  M.Sord for a fun flip through his record collection. Photos by Isabel Thomas. Animal Collective – Strawberry Jam I got more and more into Animal Collective as I grudgingly made my way through university – with a particular fondness for the one in which the only lyric is the drawn-out line “You don’t have to go to college”.
