Featured Electronica Artist: Hobo. Debut full lenght album out today.

25yr old Canadian techno producer Joel Boychuk, better know as HOBO releases his highly anticipated first full lenght album ‘Iron Triangle’ today on Richie Hawtin’s label, MINUS.

There is a disticnt wang of ‘I grew up an hour down the road from Detroit’ kind of a vibe off the album and this more than likely lends itself to the fact that at the tender age of 18, Boychuk was hanging out in Detroit’s infamous Shelter Club. Every major act who that has ever gotten started in Detroit has played here. The exact same can be said for Hobo as the Shelter Club is where he was snapped up by Richie Hawtin for a MINUS/Tractile release along with fellow producer Adam Young.

I was lucky enough to snare myself a ticket to The Minutes gig on 11th of February in The Academy, Dublin. Having seen the guys a few times now, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed with the show.

 The gig was for their single release “Heartbreaker” from their album “Marcata” which has been getting really great airplay over the last year. The lads were supported by Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters, and Leaders of Men on the night.

Debut film from emerging talent, Sean Durkin, Martha Marcy May Marlene is a physiological thriller that has been doing the festival circuit for quiet a while now but has been completely snubbed by the Oscars in favour of all the feel good films that have kept the silver screen captive for quiet some time now… who knows, maybe the Oscar panel were angry with Elizabeth Olsens sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley for New York Minute back in 2004? Please don’t give up reading now though as Elizabeth Olsen plays a character so far removed from the types her sisters portray that you might actually second guess if they were related at all.

A couple of friends introduced me to Katie Kim a few months ago and once I listened to the delicious gloom-pop single that is Heavy Lighting from her recent release Cover and Flood, I was instantly a fan. 

Eager to see her live, I went to see The Lost Three tour in Bourkes Bar in Limerick, which also featured the delightful duo, The Lost Brothers from Navan and Isle-of Wight singer- songwriter Puzzle Muteson.

With a name like “Soldiers Can’t Dance”, you expect that the lads can’t dance and well…. admittedly they actually can’t dance. When asked what their signature dance move was, Luke stated his was the “broken robot”. While the other guys said that theirs was “just go mental”. With that out of the way, I met the lads before their gig in The Courtyard Venue in Limerick for a chat about their music, weird Facebook likes, and horror movies.

            Tired of bands beyond the pale not getting recognition for their music, it’s time we stood up and showed that the rest of Ireland has some of the best bands around. Fuck The Clique is here to bring you a new band every two weeks that deserve to be heard. That said,  AntiAnti is the first band I choose to write about for Fuck The Clique, and it only stands to reason that I choose them not only because of their name but the kind of music they do too.
