110th Street

110th Street is back at The Blue Note Galway for Summer Party 2019 - with DJs Cian O’Cíobháin & Cyril Briscoe at the controls on Saturday July 27th at 10pm til late,

The Blue Note, Gaillimh

Residents Cyril Briscoe & Cian Ó Cíobháin with special guests AUGUSTUS & JOHN launching their debut LP 'Above Water Hull' with a live set. What's another year?   And what's another seventeen years? When it comes to clubbing, you could claim that such a span encompasses three, perhaps four, generations of clubbers. Since we first started throwing club nights in the Town Hall bar back in November 1998, we've seen faces on our dancefloor fall in love, get married, have kids and while we haven't yet seen any of those kids appear at our parties, we've certainly spotted some of their cousins!   The main reason we've survived so long is simply down to a love of music and a love of sharing that music with our friends & followers. Our parties might not be as regular as they used to be - after all, Galway is well catered for these days by a new wave of ebullient clubbers, DJs and club nights, the likes of which the city hadn't seen in many years. But our enthusiasm for playing the records we love has never waned and we still love to pop up every now & then for a bash .... and what better excuse to re-surface than to mark the seventeenth anniversary of our very first party?   It's all happening in the Blue Note on Saturday 28th November, with long-time residents Cyril & Cian, joined by very special guests... Galway-based AUGUSTUS & JOHN who'll be launching their outstanding debut record 'Above Water Hull'.   AUGUSTUS & JOHN is the music of Irish/Italian duo Mike Smalle & Matteo Grassi. Smalle has previously released a string of critically acclaimed albums with Cane141 & B-Movie Lightning. Grassi, an Italian artist living in Ireland, approached Smalle in early 2014 to produce some of his tracks. Instead they set about making a record and Augustus & John was born. In the coming months and with a collection of hook-laden songs, the duo released their debut ep ‘Crosslines’. This earned them radio play from the BBC, Chris Coco and ATT as well as receiving praise from International Blogs, Nialler9 and The Irish Times. ‘Above Water Hull’ is their debut record and it pulses with hooks and atmospheres inspired by everything from Ambient to Slow-Motion-Disco, Italo, Rocksteady, House and film soundtracks. The CD of the album comes with a story written by Claire-Louise Bennett who recently published her debut novel 'Pond' on Stinging Fly Press.

[The Hive will follow the performance of Booka Brass Band]

This Friday, monthly club night The Hive rolls into Róisín Dubh with residents Cyril Briscoe & Cian Ó Cíobháin, in what we're expecting to be a great night in the grand old venue, seeing as Jape and The Mighty Stef will be onstage too. The Hive, recently described as “the only club I know where the rhythms of the world collide with the scales of the universe, along the shores of the cosmos" by an acid casualty who had spent close to two decades enjoying the fruits of the Goa trance scene. We’re not sure what he meant either, but you can make up your own mind this Friday should you walk this way. So early show is Jape & The Mighty Stef (more here: http://on.fb.me/1AMIwe6).   Late show is The Hive (free in). The midnight request line is now open here

We've made one new year's resolution. That's to go out dancing in early January while everyone else sits at home drinking those strange green juices. Are you in? Delish disco, shallow house, vapid techno, leery bass, post-punk & pre-acid with Cyril Briscoe & Cian Ó Cíobháin This Friday, January 9th at Roisin Dubh, Galway. The request line is now open here

Do you find that you sometimes have trouble sleeping at night as your brain tries to identify an insistent nagging bassline? Do you observe your life as a series of complicated dance steps? Does your concentration ever waver when you try and work or study as waves of sound wash over your brain? While we wouldn't be so bold as offer a solution to your condition (the ancient Greeks simply recognised it as ‘λάτρης της μουσικής’ or ‘music lover’), we are happy to welcome you embrace your symptoms amongst other fellow-'sufferers' on the dancefloor of the Roisin Dubh this Friday. Disco, house, techno, heavenly pop symphonies & more courtesy of Cyril Briscoe & Cian Ó Cíobháin, who’ll be doing their best to see what condition your condition is in (while also warming up for the forthcoming 110th Street birthday #16 in the same venue on Sat 22nd November). What tunes should we add to the prescription? post em here..

We're back for iur monthly residency at Roisin Dubh on October 10th 2014. What sounds just like honey to your ears these days? Post em here..

Join Cyril & Cian for their monthly hoo-ha in the Róisín Dubh this Friday 5th September where they'll endeavour to blow a hole through the city's post-Picnic musical apathy with a selection of tunes from across the genres & betwixt the eras. Out of the ashes of disco, post-punk, Italo & some next shit, they'll serve up a mescalin gloop to bewitch the ears and revive circulation in your mud-encrusted calves. What's more, there's no cover charge. Doors 23.30 Heard anything good recently? This is where you tell us about it..

Even though we’re crestfallen to report that the Dominic St Residents’ Group request to have our five night occupancy of the Roisin Dubh reduced to just the one has been upheld by Galway City Council, we’ve decided not to have a diva hissy fit and go ahead and do the one Hive show. We understand that local residents were divided on the issues, with some taking legal action while others petitioned the council to renege on their decision. But no matter, instead of five nights, there will be just the one show. Apologies that we can’t accommodate our massive fan base , but we promise to make it an event to remember for those that bought their tickets in record time for our first show all those months ago. Disco, house, post-cowpunk and some of that Italo yacht-propelling sound will light the way. Ticket holders, don’t forget it’s free in and if you intend to buy tickets on the black market, don’t give the touts more than tuppence. So, dearest friends in low places, what are you favourite ‘real’ country & western songs? RSVP here https://www.facebook.com/events/720801591319109/
