Shabazz Palaces in The Twisted Pepper
Shabazz Palaces in the Twisted Pepper
Seattle based rappers, Palaceer Lazaro and Tendai ‘Baba’ Maraire, better known as Shabazz Palaces, are new to my radar - but what an impression they have made. Their constantly surprising, subtext filled lyrics are atypically eloquent, and coupled with song structures that constantly ebb and flow in opposing directions, they are not your...

Gig Fatigue. I think i’ve been suffering from it lately. But the Overhead, The Albatross / We Arrive Alive / Margie Lewis gig in the Twisted Pepper last saturday night I think might have been just the antidote. Thank fuck too, cause theres nothing worse than being gig-weary. I think I’m cured.

'A Joyful Slog' by A Community of Independents
An amazing documentary about the Irish Music industry over the last few decades. Discussing everything from fanzines to independent record shops of times past, to the independent labels and collectives that have sprung up in the interim, as a means to distributing and supporting Irish music.
With a variety of familiar faces, talking frankly about the Irish music industry, this is a seriously...
