Gig: Nouveaunoise (Academy 2, Dublin, July 2nd)

This Friday, those enigmatic devils of organic electronica and lush breaks (if such a thing exists) Nouveaunoise, shall be releasing their début album to the masses. Titled Paraphrase Accolade, the duo will be playing shindigs from the long-player in an ultra-rare full live show - with musicians and stuff (probably)!!
Like the voyeuristic notion of watching two Brighton based rent-boys getting in a fight to the death over the last remaining kerb crawler in the encroaching daylight, catching this show may well be a once in a lifetime experience. Unlike, the constant pulling of shirts in alleyways, I'm sure it will all be lovely.

This modern day boogie commences at the Academy 2 on Abbey Street, Dublin at a smart 10pm and is a measly €5 on the door. In some shops, that's price of a sandwich... a bloody sandwich or maybe even a roll, with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. Add a paper cup of poor tea on to that and you have a pretty expensive lunch. I quite like chicken, especially if it's rather dry - more sumptuous that way, but normally stop people when it comes to mayonnaise; I just can't stand the stuff - it tastes like wretched glop dipped in oil!! Lettuce I can deal with, but tomatoes are a no-no, despite the fact that tomato ketchup is a personal favourite - sometimes when I'm alone, the lights get turned off and I will sit in my darkened room with swimming goggles on and smear the stuff all over my lumpy body.

Naturally enough, Nouveaunoise will not be playing this endeavour alone. Support will be coming from the rather marvellous Bull Munro (whose name makes think of old newspaper comics) and Subway Mike - yet another sandwich reference...
Paraphrase Accolade the debut by Nouveaunoise will be available on the night and in shops the 2nd of July. Now raise your arms and scream "hooray!!"
