Bad news in the land of SugarLips- we've just received word that last night the Boom Boom Room was shut down by the Police for alleged naughtiness which I shant repeat here. Because of this, the venue will remain closed all weekend, thus leaving the SugarLips show homeless.


The fact that getting a replacement venue at this late hour is beyond impossible has left us no option but to call off the show.

The bands involved, Hybrasil, Story of Hair & Sarsparilla, all being as nice as apple pie, have all agreed to rescheduling, so hopefully we'll have news on that front very soon.

So apologies to those who were planning to come along tonight. We at egoeccentric & SugarLips recommend that if you're determined to go to a kickass show tonight you check out Super Extra Bonus Party who are promoting their new Ep (below) in Whelans. Tickets cost 10 euro and support comes from Captain Moonlight & Nouveaunoise.


SugarLips Will Return!!

Sarsparilla was raised in a small synth community in the green mountains of Wicklow. He soon found their small town ways oppressive and formed an escape plan with his then mentor, John Carpenter. These men promptly escaped into the Dublin underground, soon master Carpenter moved to the US, but Sarsparilla stayed in Ireland to forge his own distinctive synthesized soundscapes. Utilizing the techniques master Carpenter had taught him and building upon them, he has crafted his own sound that is nothing short of extraordinary!
With influences like The Equalizer, Escape From New York,V - the final battle ,Street Hawk and Hardy Boys Nancy Drew this man means business

MP3>Sarsparilla - The Count.


when playing live Sarsparilla ups the tempo because he is a man of the people and knows what the people want.
Sarsparilla play SugarLips @ The Boom Boom Room on Parnell Street this Saturday night- February 9th.
