“…we can confidently say that there’s still no-one who throws a party quite like the Jaxx.”NME

Basement Jax are playing this weekend in the point theatre Dublin this weekend. I am looking forward to this gig but dont really know what to expect.

In 2005, the duo released The Singles, comprising of all the singles from their previous three albums, some earlier releases (featured on Atlantic Jaxx Recordings: A Compilation), and two new tracks, “Oh My Gosh” and “U Don’t Know Me”, which were both released as singles. The Singles (Special Edition) was also released, which contained the original compilation, as well as a bonus disc entitled Bonus Traxx, which contained many previously unreleased tracks, as well as some remixes of existing Basement Jaxx songs. The video for “U Don’t Know Me” featured a drunken, carousing, and violent Queen Elizabeth II lookalike and was banned from daytime rotation on MTV. They appeared as a headline act on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival in 2005, and they are currently on tour with Robbie Williams and will headline their own UK arena tour this winter.

Their fourth studio album, Crazy Itch Radio (2006), was released on September 4 in the UK, simultaneously with its first single, “Hush Boy” . The album features guest vocals by Martina Bang, Johnny Blaze, Lily Allen and Robyn.

In addition to their own work, Basement Jaxx have become in-demand remixers. Their more prominent work includes “4 My People” by Missy Elliott , “Like I Love You” by Justin Timberlake and “She Wants to Move” by N.E.R.D.

David Kitt Rocks Ten.

David Kitt was awesome on Saturday Night in Ten. He really rocked the place with musical tangents. He played mostly from his superb new album not fade away but dazzled the crowd with some new stuff as well. His new material was supported by dancy drum beats and kick ass guitar riffs with very edgy lyrics. The gig slowed down once or twice where he played some lower tempo tunes but the quality or intensity did not falter. the crowd seemed to react really well to Kitt and the band. Out of the three times I have seen him this was by the best performance and I enjoyed it immensely.

Rating: 9 out of 10.

Here is a pic of me and my buddies at it kissing the guns:

David Kitt Live

I get to see David Kitt this Saturday night in Ten john Street Waterford, This is David’s final gig on his tour in Ireland. His new album Not fade away is excellent with some great tracks like Up to You which features the two vocalists from the Magic Numbers Romeo and Michelle Stoddart . I cant wait for this gig, I have seen David Kitt twice before and his shows are always very energetic and he has such a unique sound.
