Yummy Canadian pop-allsorts 'Islands' have announced a Dublin show. This is good news, because:

(a) They are quite excellent

(b) They released one of the best albums of 2006.

and
(c) I really never expected to get to see them live.

The band play Whelans on Monday February 18th. Tickets are 16.65 and are available here now.

Heres them doing a Take-Away show for Blogotheque:

Ok, so I saw one of these quite a while ago featuring Arcade Fire but didn't realise til today that there's an entire series. They're great little impromptu performances by artists posted on blogotheque.
Here's the one that got my attention today, a performance by one of my favorite artists at the moment, Final Fantasy AKA Owen Pallett. Word on the street is that Owen is coming back to Dublin at some point before christmas. Oh, the excitement.

#65.1 - Final Fantasy - Pour Light is spent
