Here’s a bit of a surprise for you folks; English rockers Kasabian are heading off the beaten track with an Irish tour. The news only came out of the Kasabian camp through their website and facebook page, and the band have Cork, Limerick, Galway and Derry in their sights. There are no details of any shows in the more established cities of Belfast and Dublin it sure is refreshing to see a high-profile band playing at some smaller venues around the country.

New-fangled Cork-based band Grave Lanterns have released a stream of the decidedly unearthly new single, ‘Creepin’ Up On You’. Calling themselves “4-piece garage dust from an 8-track mind”, the four-piece – featuring Cork psych rock Altered Hours‘ frontman Cathal Mac Gabhann – have very aptly described the track as a “samhain swan song”. Organ-led, the spectral imprint of the likes of Bauhaus, Link Wray and Nick Cave are perfectly accounted for over the track’s four minutes. ‘Creepin’ Up On You’ is officially launched on Halloween night upstairs at The Pavilion, Cork.
