Disco-nnect is... "a guided walking tour around the south docklands that leads to a gig and a party. Beginning at the river, the tour will transform this corner of dublin 2 into a playground; a garden of fun. Your guide will invite you to participate in party games, cheerlead you along, teach you the macarena, introduce you to one another and encourage you to run amok. In an age of reality tv, it is important to note that you're only massive is on your side. They want you to feel good and won't ask you to do anything you don't want to".

The madness runs from Monday June 30th to Saturday July 5th as part of We Are Here 3.0 and tickets are available from www.project.ie or by calling Project Arts Centre on 01 8819600. Check out the Disco-nnect blog here.

Y.O.M. have an array of shows coming up in the next couple of months, lots in Ireland, and one all the way over in NYC for the Conflux Art & Technology festival. Come September the duo will be pioneering a new show based around Cooking & Domesticity entitled It's A Domestic (check that one out here).

For info on all these shows check out You're Only Massive on myspace (Where you can also download the band's new single Grand-Theft Hopkins which documents their beef with, um, someone... ). For now, here's the excellent funky poppness of Sugar Shake The Cool Away:
