Bourbon Street Presents Lonely House
Doors: 9pm
Tickets: €5
Taking modern life, making a statement and providing a place for the uncertain youth of today is Cork based musician Jack Ahern, now performing under the stage name Lonely House. Lonely House and his music has a definite sence of weight and old, as if you have heard it somewhere before yet, taking cues from the rapidly changing culture and industry has adopted a modern style and sound. Ranging from soaring r’n’b tracks laden in synth leads and heavy beats to gritty blues confessionals donning crunchy guitar tones. Mashing it all up with everything inbetween to produce a truly refreshing sound Lonely House leaves no stone unturned, taking influence from every source, using it as an outlet to comment on modern life in an often satirical way. If you ask Lonley of his influences he may just strike a smile and say “There is simply to much music for me to like only a few, so I listen to it all” To cut a long story short, he likes music… to say the least.

Friday 26th April
Later With The Grunts
Doors: 9pm
Tickets: €3
The Grunts are a three piece indie band from Cork Ireland, their debut album evokes the raw earthy innocence of early REM, Echo and the Bunnymen. Of the eleven tracks on their debut, five are re-mastered from previously released EPs. ‘Party Weirdo’ is ounk done medium rare, and there’s punch and pungency in ‘Crawl Right Back’ and ‘New York Smile’. ‘Every strange Trip’ has jangly echoes of The Byrds, a floating psychedelic subtlety pervades the very early. very U2-ish ‘Cruelest Touch’, especially Liam O’Shea’s vocals, and the Echo-like ‘Summer Must Break’ coasts along with a modest swagger. Just the job, all told. With their monthly Later With The Grunts night at The Roundy the band host a number of upcoming acts making their way in the music scene
