Dublin Underground supports GiveUsTheNight.com, we hope you will too!
WELCOME TO DUBLIN UNDERGROUND ON MYSPACE!
Here on our MySpace pages you'll find listings for our showcase gigs aswell as reviews and features on up and coming bands playing around Dublin. We rotate our featured bands in our player, so check back regularly to hear our latest recommended bands and show some love to the bands you like!
We welcome input from anyone who enjoys the underground music scene in Dublin, whether you follow one particular band or several, or just like to catch as many local gigs as you can. In particular, we are always interested in having independent reviews of the gigs we run, so if you'd like to nominate yourself as one of our showcase gig reviewers, then get in touch!
DUBLIN BASED BANDS...
If you're in a band based in the Dublin area - whether only starting out and trying to get your first gig or looking to build your existing fan base by playing around the city - drop us a message with some basic info about the band including: genre, previous gig experience (if any), when you formed, age profile (youngest & oldest), your band line up, aswell as a contact mobile phone number. We run gigs in the following venues (amongst others): McGruders, Eamonn Dorans, The Boom Boom Room, Radio City, The Village, Whelans The Hub, The Sugar Club and Crawdaddy.
And for any bands who play regular gigs with us, if you're interested in having one of your songs featured on our myspace page, you can email an mp3 of your strongest song to us and we'll upload it to our myspace player. We rotate the tracks every few weeks and will pass on any feedback we get from listeners. Feel free to include songs lyrics and some info about what inspired the song if you wish and we'll include that aswell.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THE PUBS/VENUES WE DEAL WITH HAVE A STRICT OVER 18's POLICY FOR BOTH BAND MEMBERS AND CUSTOMERS. IF YOUR BAND HAS UNDERAGE MEMBERS, PLEASE CONTACT US ABOUT OUR ALL AGES GIGS.
FREEBIES!!!
Want to get on the guestlist for Dublin Underground gigs? Just email dub.und@gmail.com or message us on MySpace with the subject line 'Guestlist me!' and we'll randomly select 20 people for each gig who'll get in absolutely free!!! (please make sure to include your full name in the email).
And for any band who has played a Dublin Underground gig before, band members can come to any of our showcase gigs for free (please make sure to tell us in advance that you will attend a gig via text or email and we'll add you to the guestlist).
NOIZE NITE GIGS!
For those of you who like their music heavy and loud, Dublin Underground's Noize Nite gigs are for you.
Our Noize Nite gigs feature the best of Dublin's unsigned Grunge, Metal, Punk and Heavy Rock bands and all other heavy guitar driven music in whatever form we find it!
There is a regular monthly Noize Nite gig held in McGrudders on the 1st Wednesday of every month in Eamonn Dorans from May 2009 onwards, aswell as other Noize Nite gigs held in other venues inbetween.
..
ROCK CHICKS PLAY NITE!
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure yet, Dublin Underground's monthly Rock Chicks Play Nite showcase gig is held on the first Thursday of every month and is the place to be to catch the best of Dublin's up and coming female led bands and solo artists. The event has moved from the Voodoo Lounge to McGruders in 2007/2008 and from April 2009 will be held in the more central location of Eamonn Dorans in Templebar.
Featuring 10-20 acts playing live music over two stages from 8pm til 1.30am, our Rock Chicks Play Nite monthly show will leave you in no doubt that the girls most definitely can do it just as well and more often than not better than the boys!
And with female led bands from all genres - acoustic, blues, jazz, rock, metal and others - every show will have something for everyone who appreciates music with the fairer sex at the helm!
If you haven't caught one yet, then catch one soon - it's a great night out not to be missed, with special drinks promotions in the pipe-line for future Rock Chick gigs.
You can read what MusicReview.com had to say about it here.
..
HIP HOP GIGS!
And last but not least, for anyone interested in sampling Ireland's growing Hip Hop scene and hearing up and coming irish MC's with their own distinctive style, Dublin Underground's Hip Hop gigs will appeal to you.
This was a regular monthly Hip Hop gig held in McGrudders on the 2nd last Thursday of each month. We are hoping to start them up again soon in Eamonn Dorans.
