Finally il actually be in Tralee for club head this weekJust a heads up of the next chbb event with Neosupervital

Neosupervital is the nom-de-pop of Tim O'Donovan, a multi-instrumentalist who has just released his second album; Proceeds, ten prime slices of electronic funk pop. Last time out Neosupervital live was a band affair - with three other people on stage- but this time it's just Tim going it alone. He's playing guitar and synthesizer and singing onstage, and wants you to dance and sing along. Indeed the first single; big on funk guitars, percussion, big synths and big drums, is called "Dance with You"
Neosupervital previously visited Tralee in 2006 as part of Bloom, he has also played festivals such as Oxegen, Castlepalooza and Electric Picnic, and has also opened for the Human League, Money Mark, Peter Hook and The Divine Comedy.
Tim was also Bell X1's tour drummer a number of years ago.

Like River To Ocean is the second album from Kerry born natives, James Kennedy and Tony O Flaherty who together form Avatar. The duo is a synthesis of Kennedy’s original compositions and arrangements coupled with O’ Flaherty’s engineering skills. The services of some of Ireland’s finest musicians known as The Avatar Massive are also enlisted. Avatar produce a fusion of 70's Dub Reggae, Jazz and Ambient Sounds which are uniquely their own and present a ten strong band at live performances. Like River To Ocean has been described as delightfully melodic with Kennedy's flowing bass lines being complimented superbly by some beautiful brass harmonies and a diverse range of instrumentation.

Donal Dineen presents Hulk, Chequerboard and Adrian Crowley live in St. John's Church on Ashe Street in Tralee for Club Head Bang Bang, with live visuals from Donal Dineen.

ADRIAN CROWLEY
Winner of the 2009 Choice Album of the Year for his most recent release: Season of the Sparks, Adrian Crowley is an Irish singer-songwriter/folk artist. Originally from Barna, County Galway, he lives in Dublin.
Crowley released his first album, A Strange Kind, in 1999 which was followed by When You Are Here You are Family (2001), A Northern Country (2004). His Choice nominated fourth album Long Distance Swimmer was a breakthrough album of sorts, acknowledging his evident musicianship for a wider audience.
His Choice winning Season of the Sparks is surely one of the irish albums of the decade, not least just of 2009.
"On his fourth album, this great Irish songwriter continues to creep under the skin and behind your defences, his hushed songs, spare lyrics and diffident baritone detonating with real impact, for all that they arrive by stealth and without the slightest suggestion of an imminent explosion. Crowley deploys restraint as a deadly weapon, the self-recriminating Leaving the Party merely a repeated guitar figure and mumbled, mournful singing, which gives the eventual entry of added instrumentation, rhythm and ghostly backing vocals incredible force. The sawing and swooping strings on Walk on Part (“Of all the bedrooms in this town, you walked into mine”) create a similar frisson. This is a wonderful album." **** THE SUNDAY TIMES

CHEQUERBOARD
Chequerboard is Irish musician & artist John Lambert, whose debut album ‘Gothica’ was released in 2002 and was followed up in 2005 with the 6 track mini-album ‘Dictaphone Showreels’ on dublin label Lazybird. A set of stark haunting guitar pieces set to a backdrop of field recordings and incidental sounds. Something of a diamond in the rough, it gradually found a dedicated, discerning and passionate audience. The opening track ‘Konichiwa’ subsequently found its way onto two separate Irish electronica compilations including R na G’s Cian O Ciabhain’s acclaimed ‘An Taobh Tuathail Vol. 1 compilation’.
The Chequerboard live show is simply Lambert, his guitar and a series of guitar pedals building lush, textured, soundscapes that paint an evocative world of their own. In 2007, Lambert received a music fellowship from the Model Arts & Niland Gallery in Sligo where he spent the year working on Penny Black, a stunning album which brings the listener through a series of textured and meticulously crafted guitar-led passages. Penny Black was released in March 2008 to glowing reviews.
'A priceless rarity and something to treasure' (*****5 stars) The Irish Times
'As delicate, detailed and purposeful as a Japanese garden.'Sunday Tribune
'A defiant, deliberate and complete collection of beautiful songs. Lambert has produced a work of real importance. 'Totally Dublin

chbb kicks back into action this Thursday with no less than 3 acts...
rhizome is a tour of like-minded alternative innovators. Dublin post new wave two-piece Thread Pulls are joined by Danish collective Thulebasen and the much acclaimed Patrick Kelleher.
Thread Pulls are nearly a rock band, stripped back to a core of drums and bass. Skewed grooves anchor their hypnotic proto-disco sound - kick-drum centred and sub-bass heavy. Roughly cut vocal layers and eastern trumpet-echoes coupling solar-synth-drones bring to mind early elements of future sounds. Their debut album New Thoughts (Osaka Recordings) has just been released.
Patrick Kelleher is a 24 year-old musician based in Dublin, Ireland, although he spent much of his childhood in the English town of Rugby. His music varies from brooding, tense electronica to jaunty acoustica to 8-bit dance-floor ditties to evocative, experimental pop but always with a twist of something ethereal or idiosyncratic.
Thuebasen are a Danish ensemble operating within a parallel pop universe where they uncover lost gems of sound and successfully blend the microtonal scales of American composer Harry Partch with the popular music sensibilities of the Human League to transport the listener to an interplanetary discotheque or rather a BBC Radiophonic ‘Top of the Pops’.
Over the last two years, all of the artists involved in this tour have been forming rhizomatic connections resulting in collaborations, remixes, one-off events and so on. This tour brings these three acclaimed bands together for one tour with collaboration at the heart of it. With work shared in advance of the concerts, each act will present their own sets yet each performance will also feature collaborations between the artists developed for the tour.
Presented with funding from the Music Network Performance and Touring Award.

As part of this years Kerry Film Festival, ClubHeadBangBang presents Killarney instrumental post rock band Leaflog who will compose and perform a live, semi-improvised original score to Bill Morrison film Decasia.
Experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison created this non-narrative feature, which derives a large portion of its visual beauty from the physical nature of the film medium itself. Decasia is primarily compiled from a wealth of old and damaged footage, in which the scratches, scraped emulsion, bubbles, streaks, and decaying nitrate add an extra dimension of texture to a patchwork of images both extraordinary and mundane.
Leaflog use their own brand of experimental sound to highlight the themes presented in the film. Haunting melodies, blissful chimes and clouds of effected space combined with the stunning visual imagery give the audience a multi-sensory experience not to be missed. Leaflog have just released their debut EP "Mayday".
Support from B-Side Sessions a two-man side-project from members of Cork-based internationalists Beastmen. While Beastmen are a sonic assault of sci-fi surf-punk, B-Side Sessions play a more laid-back cinematic set, with influences from spaghetti westerns, sci-fi oddities, 70s zombie flicks and other strange movie soundtracks.
