I’ve been steering clear of taking on any residencies of late, preferring to guest around the place for different promoters, but I’ve been offered a couple of things recently that I’m going to put my name to.
First up, it’s Pantibar on Capel Street. I’ll be doing Saturdays in their new basement club on Saturdays. The good things from my point of view are that I get to play all night, 10pm until 2.30am, which is something I haven’t gotten to do in a long time and I have complete control over what I play. It gives me a chance to play more than just the Backlash / Boys Noize / Vitalic sound that people associate me with, and play some slower grooves alongside some pop and leftfield tunes. Best of all I got my name on a poster designed by Niall Sweeney’s Pony. As is the norm when my name is on poster, it’s very small. But maybe one day I’ll earn the headline spot…
For those of you who don’t know, Panti is “the most influential of all Irish drag queens”. It says so on Wikipedia, so it must be true! You should also take a look at Panti’s blog, which carries some great stories, nice photos, and contributions from Penny the dog.
The second residency isn’t quite ready to be announced yet, but is another one that I am very excited about. More to follow…
