ness and proceeds for the good people at Psycare Ireland, this fundraiser offers the chance at a dance while experiencing the warm, fuzzy rush that generosity affords us. A fantastic lineup made up of The Drifter, pictured, R. Kitt, Cáit and One Can Chan will be gracing the rarefied confines of Hen’s Teeth for an evening of sounds in the name of harm reduction. With funds headed to train the volunteers who keep us and ours safe at festivals, why not have a good time while you help out? Hens Teeth, Blackpitts, April 26th, 8pm-2am psycareireland.org FACE THE FIRE KING FRANKIE King Frankie is the debut feature film from Dermot Malone, with Peter Coonan (Love/Hate, Bad Sisters), and set for a theatrical release later this year. The film had its world premiere at the Dublin International Film Festival to critical acclaim will be released in Irish and UK cinemas by Wildcard Distribution. Described as a “Celtic Tiger tale you have not seen”, the story centres on Frankie (Coonan) a Dublin taxi driver, who, on the day of his father’s removal, comes face to face with things that happened a decade before. Burning Realm, Dublins newest psychedelic heft parade, launch their Face The Fire EP in Bello Bar. With their excellent new extended play garnering rave reviews across the isle and internet, this Dublin supergroup/power trio have opened the floodgates with monolithic riffs and wild percussion. Levelling audiences with a furious Thin Lizzy inspired twin guitar assault, ferociously underpinned by No Spill Blood sticksman Ror Conaty (who happens to be the best drummer in Ireland, and it’s not a conversation), the live show is an energetic and awe inspiring affair. Well worth your while bearing witness at the album launch, taking place in the suitably underground confines of the Bello Bar on the 13th of April. A mandatory excursion for those who like to rock.
