DEATH DISCO DUBLIN XXXMAS A CRACKER!
SHANE MACGOWAN + BP FALLON + RONNIE DREW DRIVE 'EM CRAZY!

Shane shook 'em! Ronnie rocked 'em! BP boogalooed!

We're at the Death Disco Dublin XXXmas Party and The Village stage is dressed in yuletide folly, a white Christmas tree on one side of the decks and a white Christmas, um, shrub on the other. Lights twinkle as The Ramones gaze down at the DJ altar.

The High Priest BP Fallon is spinning, doing the foreplay vibe. People pour into the venue, many from The Point - where surprise guest Ronnie Drew joining Shane MacGowan and The Pogues to sing The Irish Rover in front of 8,000 fans brought a brilliant concert to it's roof-raising conclusion. Normally, BP tops the bill, if there's any such bollox at Death Disco; there isn't. Here, he's only to happy to get the vibe going, like he's done on gigs by Keith Richards and U2 and Ronnie Wood, like he does every week in New York at DD NYC for bands no-one's heard of yet. By the time King Boogaloo plays Dead Disco by Metric, the place is stuffed, the joint is jumpin', the dancefloor's pumpin'.



DJ into MC as BP Fallon trumpets "The Godfather Of Irish Music, The Rock Of Ages!" and Ronnie Drew in an immaculate suit that will suit him when he becomes President Of Ireland, Death Disco XXXmas Party pin in his lapel and all, Ronnie's appearance on stage behind the decks is greeted by the multitude like something akin to a holy experience but a rockin' one, as if Little Richard is conducting the service with whoops and hollers and cries of jubilation.

Even Ronnie, who's been on stage for well over fifty years, is taken aback at this wild reception. Hands aloft, he basks in the warmth before announcing into the mic "I'm the oldest Death Disco DJ ever!" as he whacks out Them roaring through Please Don't Go and The Kinks punk metal guitar cruncher You Really Got Me before telling us he's going to play a song he recorded "with a friend of mine, Rory Gallagher" and the gears go even higher as Ronnie sings over his own voice alongside Rory's on their Grape And Barley Rag. Mighty. Janis Joplin is next for the Ronnie Drew duo treatment, his gravelly voice just perfect with her battered blues smile through Kristofferson's Me And Bobby McGee and now the room is joining in, "Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose" It could've been gank. It was brilliant.

Another masterstroke: Ronnie plays a track by his old group The Dubliners, Whiskey In The Jar, and everyone's singing along and then the crafty Mr Drew segues it into Thin Lizzy's rocked-up Whiskey In The Jar - Eric Bell's guitar intro, Lizzy's first-ever hit, the song Phil Lynott had learnt from The Dubliners. Magic. The audience go nuts.

The crowd roars again as Ronnie Drew climaxes with the rambunctious sound of The Irish Rover by The Dubliners joined by their musical godchildren The Pogues and once more Ronnie's deep dark voice sings over his own on the record, duetting with Shane MacGowan's vocal on the track and on cue Shane MacGowan makes his grand showbiz entrance >>

DEATH DISCO DUBLIN XXXMAS PARTY!
DJs SHANE MACGOWAN + BPF + RONNIE DREW!!!

Death Disco is back on the craic! And the DJ lineup for the DD Dublin XXXmas Party is the most unique yet in DD's mad rise to fame, starring - for the sixth time on the DD decks - our beloved Shane MacGowan, a man as true as the music he spins. Death Disco loves Shane and Shane loves Death Disco.

And making his second appearance as a DD DJ, the revered 70 year old Ronnie Drew from The Dubliners - the band whose "Ah, we'll do it our way" punk outlaw attitude influenced everyone from Bono and Phil Lynott to Shane himself and The Pogues. Ronnie's as real as they come and Ronnie rocks.

And so does his friend since 1967 BP Fallon who'll DJ your sox off.

When just after midnight Shane MacGowan takes the stage at The Village to DJ, he and The Pogues will have raised the roof at The Point and it'll be a day away from Shane's birthday - suitably or otherwise, he shares his birthday with the son of God. Happy Birthday... um, everybody! Whattaparty!

DEATH DISCO NEW YORK FREAKS OUT IN A MOONAGE DAYDREAM!
BP FALLON + ALAN McGEE + KATE MOSS SPIN 'EM UP!

The triumphant return of Alan McGee DJing at DD NYC was capped by the appearance of Kate Moss on her latest visit to New York's hottest shakeout and makeout night. DD's fave rock'n'roll girl Kate, when she wasn't cavorting around the dancefloor with BP, she took up pole position behind the decks with the dodgy duo of Fallon and Alan, brave lass that she is.

Immediately on stashing her black cloak under the DJ desk, The Mossette grinned "I'm an alligator!" but BP was already there, already cueing up her shot of Bowie's Moonage Daydream and then - after a quick run-through on the knobs - Kate played What Katie Did by The Libertines, all "Shoop shoo, shoop de lang a lang" backing vocals like The Small Faces vibing.

Following a search for La Vie En Rose by Grace Jones, Miss Moss lined up Miss Jones' deep-throated prowl through Roxy Music's Love Is The Drug - only to have McGee leap in with The Who and I Can See For Miles. It was that kind of night, a sufficiency of madness and much pre-full moon magic, a lot of laughter and a bunch of smiles.

Other tracks to get a spin were KillCity [Higher On E], Franz Ferdinand [Take Me Out], Michael Jackson [Billie Jean], Dylan [Subterranean Homesick Blues], Client [Pornography], Keef/Stones [BPF Gimme Shelter Fix], early Cure, Clash, Nirvana from the new box set, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Others, The Kills from their forthcoming March 2005 album No Wow… and Alan grooving us with double-dynamite Al Green: Let's Stay Together and Love And Happiness. Yes sir.

CANADA: FUCKING FANTASTIC !!!
DEATH DISCO TORONTO + U2 INTO THE HEART FAN FEST!

Death Disco's first-ever Canadian gig was a major WOW, with DJs BP Fallon and Justine D creating one hell of an uplifting party at Toronto's Hard Rock Cafe. Taking place under the umbrella of the U2 fan fest InTO The Heart, DD's north of the border debut threw up one specific challenge. "We could have taken the easy route and played U2 records all night" notes BP, "and everyone would've loved it. But we wanted to do it our Death Disco way. And we did"

And everybody loved it. Watched by Jimi Hendix's guitar in a glass case, the dancers rocked to The Stooges, The Kills, KillCity, Le Tigre, Beatles, Fur Cups For Teeth, Gossip, Sonic Youth and Bring Da 7 Nation Noise - the startling mashup of White Stripes and Public Enemy. Justine D's favourite U2 track I Will Follow caused the dancefloor to explode while BP's U2 hit of the night was the Jacknife Lee mix of Vertigo - never heard by the audience before, who went bonkers. Death Disco Toronto: fucking great.

BP's live interview on Toronto radio station 102.1 The Edge - coincidentally, the first radio station in Canada to play U2 - caused rattling of curtains when our travelling DJ described his DD turntable partner Justine D as "an amazing DJ and one of the folk running this brilliant mad New York party Motherfucker". Gasps of breath. Then Dave Bookman asks BP what his favourite tracks are and BP says "And there's this Canadian girl I really dig, Peaches. Her album is brilliant, Motherfucker. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that word. I meant to say Fatherfucker, her album Fatherfucker is brilliant".

The following afternoon BP's interview was still being discussed on 102.1 The Edge. "Thank God we don't have the FCC in Canada!" said the presenter, laughing.

InTO The Heart - with all proceeds going to Amnesty International and local Aids hospice Casey House - attracted U2 fans from the UK, Arizona, California, Ohio, New York, Buffalo, Vancouver, Montreal, Nova Scotia and Ottawa. BP - who DJed on U2's Zoo TV tour - was interviewed live on stage by Mark Neveau about all things rock'n'roll, responding with hilarity before going on to discuss some of his portraits of Bono.

Other attractions at InTO The Heart were the U2 tribute bands Elevation - who at Toronto's Opera House performed the Dublin Aug 28 1993 Zoo TV set - and October, who played the Red Rocks set at The Bier Markt. And rock band Third Verse opened splendidly for Death Disco.

"BP Fallon arrived as our special guest" said ITH's Sam B, "and he left as part of the InTO The Heart family".

HAVE MERCI! InTO The Heart's Mark, Sam B, Michelle, Brady, Craig, Kim and Kelly, plus Keith on sound and José on lights at Death Disco Toronto and all the magic people we met.

HOW TO DISMANTLE U2!

To mark the launch of the new U2 album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb we present another chance to see BP Fallon's 1984 photographs of U2 - taken during the making of The Unforgettable Fire - plus an additional shot from the recording of the Pride [In The Name Of Love] backing vocals with BP, Chrissie Hynde, Patsy Dennehy, Bono and Ali. This U2 picture exclusive was originally a tie-in with the Interference.com interview with BPF.

IRELAND FOR THE WEEKEND!
In between the very happening Death Disco NYCs, BP Fallon jets to the west of Ireland for the first-ever DD Tralee - as well as a public chinwag with the man who moulded the early Stones, their catalystic first manager Andrew Loog Oldham. ALO's rare Stones film Charlie Is My Darling - shot in Ireland in 1965 - is being screened at The Kerry Film Festival and BPF will interview Oldham live on stage with a Q&A from the audience.

"Andrew Oldham was younger than the Stones" notes BP from New York. "He was an outrageous cat, wore shades and makeup, informed the Stones in their outlaw mindset, produced their records, didn't give a toss. He locked Mick and Keith into a room until they'd written their first song, discovered Marianne Faithfull, formed Immediate Records which had The Small Faces and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, went mad for a while. Perfect".

DEATH DISCO NEW YORK GOES MEGA!
KATE MOSS, KINGS OF LEON, LENNY KAYE, FRENCHKISSING IN THE USA!

DD NYC has gone mega. Turing Machine and The Hold Steady killed at DD's Frenchkiss Records party, The Kings of Leon - the pride and joy of Tennessee kickin' back from two sold out nights at New York's Bowery Ballroom and aware of what's happening, baby - they threw their after-party at Death Disco, Kate Moss was spotted there shakin' a tailfeather on the dancefloor with BP Fallon, and the great Lenny Kaye - guitarist in The Patti Smith Group and compiler of the vital sixties garage rock compilation Nuggets - Lenny smiled beatifically while weaving about to the music and whispering sage advice to Margot and Laura of DD faves The Assault.

With Lisa G, Mojo and Spikey Phil rockin' the decks upstairs, the basement was awash with melting psychedelic colours on the ceiling and mysterious black and white Jean Cocteau movies projected on the walls and onto The Ramones backdrop, courtesy of our brilliant chums Marco and Michael of Optical Delusion Fantastic fantasmagorical visuals.

And in the established Death Disco style of expect the unexpected, Fur Cups For Teeth - all cutesy-pie dresses like nurses on mescaline, plus a twinkling tiara - they opened with an acapella version of their song Mystery Train - not the Junior Parker/Elvis one - before bursting into a sparkling smile-high electro set. The next band announced by BP were Fuck Ups For Teeth - all jeans and t shirts and a fringed top nothing like Roger Daltrey at Woodstock - who cranked out a guitary riff'n'roll set exploding with twangerama and grinnerama too, with much shrieking - vocal and otherwise - and a bit of falling over. FCFT/FUFT - for they are one, one but not the same - they're such sports, crazy where it matters and gifted young ladies too. DD digs 'em, a lot.

BP invites Kate to rifle through his CD stash. "Cor, you've got everything here, haven't you?" "We try". "Hey, play Gimme Shelter - it's my favourite record!". She's waving the Let It Bleed CD at him... more please!

God bless Johnny Ramone 1948 - 2004
Rest in Peace.

NEW YORK'S A GOING GOING!!!
DD NYC VIBING!!!

Death Disco New York is already developing its own vibey Lower East Side scene, with bands hanging out there to see their friends play and groove to the DD DJs.

The Spicy Rizzaks - all dark Dolls/Misfits humour - were the chosen band to kick off DD NYC's Wednesdays at The Delancey, the luxuriously-sideboarded singer Jon Bon Rizzak howling through Baby Please Don't Go which turned into Shakin' All Over while Eddie Van Rizzak twanged like a mother.

The spunky Greenpoint three-piece Kickstart had a rockin' thrust propelled particularly by manic drummer Mary, all mad humour and bass drum.

The surrealist electro pop brain probes of Dynasty Electric Duo - Jennifer Deveau [lead vox, bass gtr, synth] and Seth Misterka [sax, gtr, vox, synth, drum programming] - was a sexed-up amusement park ride brimming with pure pop pleasure, twisted and hot. Think Suicide meets The Carpenters. Tremendous.

Electric Shadows - Cosmic Turk [vox, gtr], The Baron Von Aaron [bass, organ, vox], Flash 'Em Psychedelic Dolan [drums, vox, no shirt] - open with the guitar roar of Pipeline Johnny Thunders style and among their spikey originals slip in a snatch of Knockin' On Heaven's Door for Johnny Ramone RIP plus a burning nod to Peter Perret with Another Girl, Another Planet.

And The Assault are a gas: three rockin' young chicks called Laura Leontine and Margot Bianca and Julie Pop, all trash flash giving it loads and having a laugh, infectious, vulgar and tacky and pure and perfect. And fun.

DD NYC is fun. Upstairs, celebrated DJs like Leesaw and her down-home reggae, Bryan Swirsky from Manitoba's with his rockin' slices, Fitz the Kerry legend and Mighty Robot man who had flown in from Berlin… they've been holding court with their vinyl. And downstairs with the bands, where The Ramones gaze out from the Death Disco backdrop and Joly from Punkcast.com films the whole shang a lang, there BP Fallon has been spinning, MCing, getting the vibe going. The atmosphere is great.

Death Disco New York is here!

NEW YORK'S A GO GO!!!

Death Disco kicked off weekly in New York on Wednesday Sept 8. Each Wednesday at DD NYC two bands will be featured - loosely, one electro and one rock'n'roll - as well as the Death Disco DJs and guests.

Says BP: "It's going to be a similar vibe to Death Disco in London, where you never know who you might get to see live. This way we can showcase bands we like before they become mega! Indeed, in London bands like The Libertines and BRMC play at the club simply because they enjoy it so much. And then we have our DD DJs too plus whoever might fancy a spin." Among those who have already fancied a spin DJing at Death Disco are Courtney Love , Shane MacGowan, Peaches, Carl from The Libertines, Gavin Friday, Mani from Primal Scream/Stone Roses, Pelle from The Hives, Butterscotch, Ronnie Drew from The Dubliners and Lenny Kaye from The Patti Smith Group. "And", adds BP, "Alan McGee will DJ with us whenever he's in town".

Punters who have shook it up at DD - where there are no velvet ropes, no VIP areas, none of that bollocks - include Kate Moss, Anita Pallenberg, Primal Scream, Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine and Jack and Meg White - and even Green Day, Jim Corr from The Corrs and ex Westlife man Brian McFadden. "We don't care who you are" notes BP. "If you wanna rock, you're welcome".

Situated in The Lower East Side, the venue for DD NYC is The Delancey - already one of the most happening scenes in Manhattan.

BP + SHANE SLAY 'EM !!!
PEACHES + BUTTERSCOTCH SHAKE IT TOO !!!

Death Disco blew minds on its latest rampage around Ireland, as DJs BPF and Shane MacGowan touched down for the White Stripes/New York Dolls/Peaches DD after-parties in Dublin and Belfast.

First up was The Village in Dublin, where the packed house that included punters like Green Day and sundry Dolls greeted the appearance behind the decks of Mr MacGowan like the third coming - even though it was the fourth time Shane had DJed at DD, tonight spinning everything from the hopeful darkness of Joy Division to the reggae joy of The Skatalites to Cliff's classic rock'n'roll clarion call Move It.

Shane's chum BP, he'd opened his set with the kitsch lunacy of The Bogmen doing Rock Around The Clock before vibing into his Keith Richards Expensive Winos/Stones BPF Fix of Gimme Shelter, the Andrew Innes remix of White Boy Brown Girl by Kill City and Fuck The People by The Kills more words + pix>>>

Shane has spun at Death Disco Dublin twice before, taking the live mic to sing along to songs like Elvis' I Was The One, and once at DD Belfast - where he had the whole audience singing along enthusiastically to Val Doonican's Walk Tall! "Shane's a great DJ" enthuses BPF. "Through the records he plays, you see the soul of the man".

BUD RISING BUD RISEN!
The ten day Bud Rising Festival in Dublin - taking in 36 venues and over 100 acts, from Primal Scream, Ian Brown and Badly Drawn Boy to Arthur Baker, Donal Lunny and Roni Size - was a triumph. Among the highlights was the DJ set by DD fave Peaches - who did an extraordinary set at Death Disco Hollywood in May - and the return to Dublin after six months of Death Disco itself.



DD DJs BPF and Jaime Coon where joined by Leah Wood, fresh from her stunning performance the previous night singing with her band Abeba - which includes her brother Jesse on soulful slide guitar. Leah's DJing at DD was jumpin', vibey and hot, incorporating everything from hip hop to rap to rock'n'roll. Simply great.



Acclaimed Dublin DJ Johnny Moy opened the show, followed rapidly by a storming set by Dublin wild boys Humanzie. Humanzie weren't the only full-on rock'n'roll band in the house - The gig was grooved to by The Things, Mainline and The Urges while other DD punters were more, um, unusual: Jim Corr from The Corrs and former Westlife man Brian McFadden!

Also making their DD debut were the brilliant Belfast projection posse of Jorjo and Phil of TBC. "TBC's visuals are mind-boogieing" says BPF. "Stupendous stuff. Having Jaime and Leah and Johnny - and me! - DJing plus The White Widow and Humanzie AND the TBC lights - what a groove".

DD THANKS Roy Marsh, Ben Dellow and Luke Carr of Bud Rising and Phil The Dude Man and his team at Voodoo.
Additional thanks to Stefan G and Joly.

Making her Dublin debut will be Jaime's surreal creation The White Widow. "The White Widow has danced at DDs in Derry and Galway", notes Miss Coon, "but this will be the first time in Dublin. I feel some rock'n'roll madness coming on!'

DEATH DISCO DOES NEW YORK AGAIN - TWICE!
LIBERTINES USA DEBUT!

Death Disco choogled through a stomping pair of NYC DDs, the first of which saw Death Disco co-founders BP Fallon and Alan McGee re-united behind the decks - with Alan giving the American premier to tracks from the brilliant new unreleased Mick Jones-produced Libertines album, Says BP: "McGee and me are rarely in the same city at the same time these days - so with both of us in New York we went for it." Accompanied to the DD show by Allison and Jamie of The Kills, Alan summed it up by saying "I got to play stuff from the amazing new Libertines album and The White Widow was mental and BP did his genius DJ thing - what more could you want?"

More came with the Recall Records launch party at The Tribeca Grand, with Death Disco joining Recall's artists I Am X - the band formed by Chris Corner from Sneaker Pimps - and Robots In Disguise. I Am X had the punters deleriously jumpin' to music that often echoed the best of Depeche Mode. And the irreverent fun and frolics of Robots In Disguise - two fiesty girls from London who BPF has dug greatly since seeing them support Chicks On Speed - put a grin on everyone's mush and a tingle in their trousers. And BPF and Jaime Coon twiddled their rock'n'roll knobs splendidly and The White Widow's performance was her most mesmerising since Death Disco Hollywood with Peaches.

NEWS FLASH!
DEATH DISCO NEW YORK THIS THURSDAY!

PEACHES JOINS DEATH DISCO IN HOLLYWOOD!!!
Peaches' stunning DJ set at Death Disco Hollywood was the icing on the cake of the first-ever Death Disco/Deep Goat tour of California. Clad in a Kill Me Tomorrow t-shirt, a short plaid skirt, a pussy-pink Death Disco badge and stockings and suspenders, Peaches rocked like a fatherfucker, slicing in her CDs as her fist shot into the air, as she played skillful air guitar, as she screamed with delight. Peaches' two dancers squeezed in behind the decks, frolicking and making out while above them The White Widow's gyrations celebrated the strangeness of beauty and the beauty of strangeness. Cameras whirred, flashes exploded, Death Disco at Star Shoes on Hollywood Boulevard with Peaches fucking the pain away on the decks… the joint was completely off the hook! Everyone just going mad, perfectly.

At one point, as she played Led Zep's Rock'n'Roll, Peaches turned to BP Fallon and said "Imagine singing like THAT!" Lady, you sing as good as anyone. You made the best album of last year and your live shows kick it mega and you DJ with a hard on. Peaches: we salute you.

The amazing Hollywood DD was a hastily-organised additional gig after the opening Death Disco California date at Little Pedro's in Downtown LA proved such a roaring success - Natalie Nichols in the LA Times reported how "the music won over the hips and the hearts of the mostly-young crowd, movin' and groovin'" and Brenda Camberas of LA Opinion wrote "Leave your prejudices and inhibitions at the door and be prepared to be united in a gigantic wave of good vibes and good vibrations".

Other highlights of the DD/DG CA tour include the world premier of the as-yet-unreleased brilliant track I Live And Die For Rock'n'Roll by Ian Dury and Adam Sky - Ian's never-heard-before anthemic song and celebratory vocal melded to pumpimg Adamski - as spun at Death Disco San Francisco during the elevating set by guest DJ Butterscotch. It's a family affair: when she's not spinning up a storm, Butterscotch goes by the name of Janice Gaffney and manages Peaches. Butterscotch and Janice: we salute you.

Moments to treasure: the LA Times photographer approaching The White Widow and asking to take a picture of her with DD DJ Jaime Coon - and could she find Miss Coon for the shot? And the unintentional furore caused by BP on a radio interview with Berkeley's KLAX when he jovially described himself as "a bald old cunt" live on the air.

The Blood Arm - a mutant cross between The Fall on downers and The Doors on speed, absolutely excellent - played thrillingly at Death Discos Santa Barbara, Oakland and San Francisco. The Kids - all naïve and innocent and hurting, like Morrissey without the age - bled beautifully at DD Oakland.

Alexis Rivera DJ and promoter extraordinaire made miracles seem easy. "Nothing you can do that can't be done". You're tremendous. Thank you. Alexis: we salute you.



Death Disco California: seven gigs in nine nights, including the makeout chillouts of Deep Goats in LA and 'Frisco … a Sunday visit to Bishop Solomon Burke's church in Downtown LA where BP was announced to the congregation by King Solomon as "an old friend of mine" and was asked to stand up and take a bow… a memorable West Coast drive up to the Bay Area, punctuated by wild rockin' at the Absinthe Bar and artistic misbehaviour in San Luis Obispo at The Madonna Inn… the filming of Velvet Rope in San Francisco by Niko Sluzki... and catfish and fries for BP somewhere off the highway… at the wheel, Miss Jaime Coon, pilot and DJ and The White Widow, magnificent. Jaime Coon and The White Widow: we salute you.

And Death Disco co-founder and DJ BP Fallon? The adventure continues. "I'm so lucky to be going around the place playing music for people, people who are mad for it" says BP. "The Death Disco/Deep Goat tour of California… what a gas, such fun, meeting great people, spinning rockin' tunes…" And Peaches DJing at Death Disco Hollywood? BP grins. "That" he says, "is jam on both sides of the bread".

Death Disco's first-ever California tour kicks off in LA on Sat May 15! The much-anticipated DDLA debut is followed the next night [Sun May 16] in LA by the makeout music of Deep Goat, before the outlaw posse of DJs and dancers, muscians and lunatics heads north to the Bay Area for more rock'n'roll debauchery at Death Disco gigs in Santa Barbara [Thurs May 20] and Oakland [Sat May 22] - and, naturally, San Francisco [Fri May 21] which will also be graced by the chiller vibes of Deep Goat [Sun May 23].

Joining DJ BP Fallon will be Jaime Coon aka The White Widow - says Death Disco co-founder Alan McGee: "When Jaime Coon DJs at Death Disco and that wild dancing that she does, it's like having a sexy young female Iggy Pop DJing!" "This is going to be so fucking exciting I can't wait!" says California promoter and DJ Alexis Rivera. With six gigs in nine days, Jaime notes: "I love being on the road. I'm happy to be here". "I'm happy to be anywhere" says BP.

DEEP GOAT CHEESE IN NEW YORK!

Sean Lennon made a surprise DJ appearance at Deep Goat's first gig at New York's new rock'n'roll hangout 6s and 8s. Sean had attended both Deep Goat shows at Manhattan niterie Bungalow 8 and had asked if he might join BP Fallon and Jaime Coon on the decks at their next outing. At Deep Goat's 6s and 8s debut - before grabbing the mic and introducing a startled BP to the audience in Lennonesque hip hop vocal style - Sean played everything from Devo and Talking Heads to Yoko Ono backed by The Plastic Ono Band to James Brown, Prince and Sly.

The evening merged into a ferocious Battle Of The Discs between Fallon, Coon and Lennon with - in rotation - each participant having to better their colleagues' choice. The party ended at 4am with Jaime playing Roky Erikson and I Walked With A Zombie, BP playing Ella Fitzgerald and Every Time We Say Goodbye and Sean - declared outright winner for unembarrassed cheesiness - playing Gilbert O'Sullivan and Alone Again, Naturally. Deep Goat: where anything can happen.
Deep Goat appears at 6s and 8s every Tuesday night. C U Next Tuesday!
6s and 8s, 205 Chrystie Street at Stanton, Lower East Side, NYC; tel (001) 212 477 6688

DEATH DISCO: IRELAND KNEELS AGAIN!
In veritable Iggy Pop And The Stooges Search And Destroy style, Death Disco DJs BP Fallon and Jaime Coon jetted in from America to Ireland for a pair of explosive gigs.

Up north, Derry Sandinos rocked LAMF and on the west coast of Ireland Galway's Cuba was another mega night magicked into memory. With magnificent head-crunching sets by BPF and JC, the new star of the Irish DDs was The White Widow.

Jaime, taking her original background of modelling for painters and sculptors and fusing it to the roaring energies of rock'n'roll, she's unleashed an other-worldly creature, dancing strangely strange but oddly normal. Or, as BP so sanguinely puts it: "Jaime Coon and The White Widow - the girls with the most balls in rock'n'roll". For Undertones singer Paul McLoone - also recently returned from a triumphant series of dates in America - Death Disco Derry was his first DD experience. Completely enthralled, he enthused to BP and Jaime "I didn't know you guys ware so crazy". Paul will be joining Fallon and Coon on the DD DJ decks at the next available opportunity.

DD NYC#2: HUEY + THE WHITE WIDOW STRIKE!
The second New York Death Disco - to celebrate the screening of Headrush in the New York Film Fleadh - featured guest DJ Huey Morgan for the second time. At Death Disco Galway Mr Morgan The Sultan Of Cool had played a CBGBs-era punk set. But at DD NYC#2 at Mission the Fun Lovin' Criminal did his My Little Black Book set, opening with Three Dog Night [Joy To The World] and poppin' onwards with The Greg Kihn Band [Jeopardy], Ian Dury + The Blockheads [Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick], Boomtown Rats [Up All Night], Stones [Undercover Of The Night], Def Leppard [Photograph], Dr Hook [Sexy Eyes], the cheesy vibe of Andy Gibb + The Bee Gees [I Wanna Be Your Everything], the old school hip hop of Cool G Rap [Ill Street Blues] and hitting the finishing line with Joan Jett [I Love Rock'n'Roll].



As the steam rose from Huey's set and as BP's full-on DJing steered us into the wee hours, Jaime Coon - having done a pummeling DJ set, all Moe Tucker T shirt and the VU in the mix - Jaime, she apparitioned in front of the DJ stage and climbed up on the speakers. The White Widow had arrived.

Headrush - written and directed by Shimmy Marcus which features appearances by Huey Morgan, BP Fallon + Jaime Coon - was voted #1 film of the New York Film Fleadh, beating the Colin Farrell movie Intermission into second place.

DEATH DISCO: NEW YORK SURRENDERS + RONNIE ROCKS!

In true Death Disco style of expect the totally unexpected, Ronnie Drew DJ made a surprise appearance at the very first Death Disco in New York on Saint Patrick's Night. Taking place at renowned Manhattan venue The Knitting Factory and featuring DJs BP Fallon + Miss Jaime Coon + Ronnie Drew from the legendary Dubliners - the Irish group recognised by everyone from Shane MacGowan to Bono as a huge influence - was simply astonishing.

Sober of suit and manner, grey of hair and beard and grinning a grin from here to China, his eyes twinkling he danced with DJ Jaime Coon with gusto.

And in between shaking a tailfeather the admirable Mr Drew kicked off on the decks with himself and Rory Gallagher performing Barley And Grape Rag, followed by The Dubliners and The Pogues united to sing The Irish Rover. He played a tribute to Phil Lynott with Thin Lizzy's Whiskey In the Jar, then said "here's a song written by an Irishman who used to be my neighbour... Jimmy Kennedy" and span a scorching Red Sails In The Sunset by Dinah Washington.


Another cut included by Ronnie was Sweet Thing by Van Morrisson ["a friend and a man I admire"].

The great Ronnie Drew finished his set by noting "here's a song written by Brendan Behan. This is a song I've been associated with but this time it's not by me. The Auld Triangle by Bob Dylan" and the venue was quelled as this unreleased treasure from the Basement Tapes flooded the room.

Said BP Fallon after he'd rocked the party into the wee hours: "Saint Patrick came through. Jaime's set was a blinder and Ronnie Drew - that's jam on both sides of the bread, baby. Just brilliant".

Before he'd vanished back into the snowy night, Ronnie Drew had addressed the New York audience with these parting words about his friend since 1967, BP Fallon. "Watch this man. He's going to take over your lives and you'll be all the better for it".



Death Disco thanks Ronnie and his wife Deirdre. Respect and gratitude.

DEEP GOAT GOES DEEPER!!!

Deep Goat sensationally debuted last Monday Feb 23 in New York with DJs BP Fallon and Jaime Coon. Playing at West Chelsea private club Bungalow 8 - the hippest club in Manhattan - this new event from the creators of Death Disco had the audience at Amy Sacco's venue absolutely enthralled.

All palm trees and jungle-print sofas, Bungalow 8 exudes the chillout of a Tangiers lounge mixed with the style of Frank Lopez' showroom office in Scarface plus smooches of glamour echoing the old Beverly Hills Hotel and 50s Hollywood.

Among those who turned out to see BP and Jaime play were P Diddy, Courtney Love's latest co-writer Bernie Taupin, Gladiator movie star Connie Nielsen and Sean Lennon.

BP FALLON'S WANG DANG WIPES 'EM OUT!!!
The planet rocks!
The latest series of BP Fallon's Wang Dang Doodle on Ireland's TodayFM had the whole country hoppin', with additional fans as far afield as Dallas, San Francisco, Toronto and Paris and Castleblaney emailing Fallon live into the Dublin studio as they listened on the web.

Wang Dang Top 3! The Bogmen Triumph!
The act who generated the most texts and email responses during the three-hours-a-night two week stint are the uniquely appalling/uniquely brilliant Paddy craicery that is The Bogmen [Rock Around The Clock/Let's Twist Again/The Hucklebuck]. You went Bogmen bonkers for them! Following this sudden outbreak of Bogmanmania came the Teutonic brown acid madness of Laibach [Sympathy For The Devil] and King Tubby's absolutely gorgeous JA instrumental Dub Fi Gwan which narrowly pipped the magnificent Terry Farley remix of Primal Scream's Loaded.

>>> HEAR THE BOGMEN! <<<< [Real Player - Windows Media Player]

TXT Appeal
BP was deluged by text messages. One was from a 61 year old gentlemen who said "I remember you on television in 1965". Some of the messages were along the lines of "I've heard my father/mother/granny talking about you. You may be an old fart but you play amazing music".
Many were requesting info 'bout Death Disco. BP's favourite text - which of course he read out - was from someone on a bus. "The driver is making us listen to you on the radio. The music is DREADFUL".

Not Only Psycho
BP played everything, from Peaches and Chicks On Speed and Robots In Disguise to unreleased tracks by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, via doses of Primals, Africa Bambaata with John Lydon, The Things... more>>
