Deerhunter is tonight.

I don't think it made many people's best of the year lists but I thought that their last appeareance in Dublin was one of 2007's most enjoyable gigs. As it happens Bradford Cox will be in Ireland a lot in the next couple of months because his Atlas Sound project is playing support to Animal Collective on May 19th in Tripod and to Low at the Future Days Fest though I'm not sure if they will feature the full Atlas Sound band or be laptop gigs. Oh and it's not been offically announced yet but via MySpace the cat has been let out of the bag, Deerhunter are one (of the I think 2 other) bands yet to be added to the billing of the Dan Deacon/Jape/High Places night in Vicar St.

Support tonight is from Health who also play upstairs in Whelans tomorrow. I gave their self titled debut album a go last night. Not sure about it to be honest, where are the songs? That being said a friend saw them in London recently and e-mailed me saying that he thinks I'll really like them live at least.

Earplugs are recommended tonight if you want to save your hearing. It's going to be jet engine territory tonight.

One of the best songs of last year ...
