Mucho Muchuu

Muchuu's rather excellent single 'Somebody Tell Me' was officially released yesterday and, to celebrate, they're giving away the title track from their forthcoming album 'Adventure We Go'. Click here to download.

Here's the video for 'Somebody Tell Me':



The song is now available on ITunes and you can hear more of Muchuu's dreamy electronica here.

I, For One, Am Aroused

This week sees 'The Theatre Machine Turns You On', a festival of dramatic work by emerging artists, take up residency in The Project Arts Centre.

Curated by Fringe favourites THEATREClub, the festival features nine productions over the course of three days.

One of the shows worth catching is Come As Soon as You Hear's 'Bang Shoot Blast', which kickstarts the festival on Tuesday the 1st at 6:30. Written by Karl Watson and directed by Liana Ni Cleirigh, this strikingly original play about the cycle of relationships packs a serious punch.

Also worth checking out is 'Please Leave A Message Under The Ocean', which is showing on Thursday at 7:30. Written and directed by the obscenely talented Shaun Dunne, the play tells of what happens when you forget old hiding places, find new ones and never want to leve the house ever again. Sounds grim but, knowing Shaun's previous work, it's bound to be several parts lovely.

Tickets for both shows are just €5 and can be booked through The Project.

Ferreira In The Sky With Diamonds

The Sky Ferreira campaign seems to be gathering momentum, with more and more tracks trickling through every few weeks.

She's been working with a variety of top producers producers including Bloodshy & Avant, Paul Epworth, Greg Kurstin and The Shoes, giving rise to a decidedly eclectic output.

Two tracks that she worked on with hotly-tipped producer and remix artist Skeet Skeet have now come into circulation.

'Happy Dre' artfully fuses The Beatles' 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' with Dr. Dre's 'Still Dre', sounding considerably less shoe-horned than you might expect:



Meanwhile, 'Stand Back' is a souped-up version of Stevie Nicks' classic track. Hardcore Stevie fans probably won't appreciate it but I have no qualms about embracing it:



Both tracks can be downloaded from here. G'wan.
