DEATH DISCO DUBLIN MEGA MAGIC!
AND DJ BONEHEAD PLAYED GUITAR ON 'WONDERWALL' FIRST TIME SINCE OASIS!
The legendary Bonehead - the former Oasis guitarist - joined BP Fallon for a very special DJ set at Death Disco Dublin on Sun May 31st at Buck Whaley's. And BP jetted back for the party from America, where he'd been DJing dates onThe Kills/Horrors US tour.
Last March at Buck Whaley's, the very first Death Disco Dublin of 2009 saw the UK Emperor Of Rock Alan McGee joining BP Fallon on the decks to spin to a capacity crowd of DD fans going wild on the dancefloor that included Lilly Allen.
And this time? Sweet Jane fronted by the vocal volcano that is Lydia Des Dolles and described by BP Fallon as “The Raveonettes having consentual rough sex with The Jesus And Mary Chain” even had Bonehead climbing up on the grand piano stool, to better see them over the heads of the thronged punters. He'd heard about their great gig at Death Disco London a few days before and had been eager to catch them. "They're very good, aren't they?" he smiled beninglly.
Bonehead's DJ set was killer, treble rocking the house already foreplayed splendidly by Phantom FM's magnificent Laura Lee Conboy. Then BP hit the decks with everything from The Stone Roses to The Staple Singers via N.A.S.A. and Bazooka Jones and it was roof-raisin' boogaloo smile central danceteria.
And then, as secretly rehearsed in the dressing room earlier in the evening, Bonehead strapped on his guitar to join Sweet Jane and Power Of Dreams cult hero Craig Walker in playing 'Wonderwall'. It was the very first time Bonehead had played the song since Oasis. Death Disco Dublin went euphoric and Bonehead's shy smile was finally replaced by the hugest grin ever, everyone singing along like a mini-Knebworth . Magic.

QUICK GROOVY 1-MINUTE MOVIE! DEATH DISCO DUBLIN ST PATRICK'S EVE W/ BP & McGEE!
The legendary Bonehead - the former Oasis guitarist - joins BP Fallon for a very special DJ set at Death Disco Dublin on Sun May 31st at Buck Whaley's. And BP jets back for the party from America, where he's been DJing dates onThe Kills/Horrors US tour.
Last March at Buck Whaley's, the very first Death Disco Dublin of 2009 saw the UK Emperor Of Rock Alan McGee joining BP Fallon on the decks to spin to a capacity crowd of DD fans going wild on the dancefloor that included Lilly Allen.
And now we’ve more!
When Bonehead left Oasis, the euphoria left the band too. They’d virtually conquered the world and now the truly magic Oasis moments were over. Bonehead had been the rock, as much as humanly and humanely the steadying influence between the warring Gallagher brothers as Noel and Liam sniped at each other. Now Bonehead has escaped that lunacy and calmly DJs as the punters go wild for his eclectic sets – his recent appearance at Death Disco London saw the ‘House Full’ signs go up well early.
LIVE BANDS TOO!
And there’ll be live music too at DD Dublin on May 31st – with the sonic circus being lead by Sweet Jane fronted by the vocal volcano that is Lydia Des Dolles and described by BP Fallon as “The Raveonettes having consentual rough sex with The Jesus And Mary Chain”. As if that wasn’t enough, additionally performing live is cult hero/Power Of Dreams singer Craig Walker plus Livin Proof.
And Laua Lee Conboy of Phantom FM is joining BP and Bonehead on the decks. And will Bonehead also play and sing live? At Death Disco, anything can happen… and does.

SEE! THE LAST DEATH DISCO DUBLIN WITH BP AND HIS BUDDY McGEE!
The legendary rockn'n'roll party Death Disco hit Dublin mega on St Patrick's Eve!
DJing were fabled Death Disco founders Alan McGee and BP Fallon.
One of the most surreal Death Discos ever - the dancefloor was all moving lights a go go straight out of Saturday Night Fever or Pulp's Common People vid - the very first St Patrick's Day party in Ireland this year had the devotees jammed into Buck Whaley's on Lr Leeson Street.
By the time Lily Allen dropped into the party it was so packed and rocking that she was able to merge in and have a cheery chinwag with McGee - Mr Alan and Miss Allen having icon to iconette social intercourse - largely unnoticed in the sonic circus bubbling all around 'em. "BP didn't even notice Lily" Alan says. "He was DJing, off in his own world. You know how he is". Our DD social diarist notes that MGMT also popped by - as did The Thrills - plus at least five Lady GaGas.
The mad hatted dodgy duo of McGee and BP had the place jumping. The Sunday World in its report called them "the gruesome twosome". They're maestros, these two, bags of tunes and fiddling with knobs and pushing faders so the whole party becomes a blur of people having fun leaping around and laughing and maybe making out too. Dancerama indeed! And in the DD tradition of expect the unepected, at one point Mr Rock'n'Roll BP let fly with a quartet of discoteque killers: Knock On Wood by Amii Stewart, You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate, Beat It by Michael Jackson and - gosh! - Stayin' Alive by The Bee Gees. It was brilliant, rock'n'rollers and disco queens and indie kids all jostling for space on the trippy dancefloor! The only rule in rock'n'roll is there are none.
And equally the stars of the night was the audience - a loose grinning mix of Dublin young 'uns and from all over Ireland more DD young vibers who'd headed into Dublin town to heed the call to let it rock. Excellent.
To mark the release of U2's No Line On The Horizon album we delve into the Zoo Radio sonic archives with its off-the-wall humour and BP Fallon talking to Bono, Edge, Adam & Larry.
Of particular note are Bono's self-effacing and very funny acting skills!

BP FALLON TURNING JAPANESE
TONE MAGAZINE: BPF MBV ATP COVER STORY & PIX
BP Fallon's cover story in the February 2009 edition of the Japanese magazine TONE centres around My Bloody Valentine and the adventures of Kevin Shields and combo at All Tomorrow's Parties in the Catskill Mountains north of New York. MBV curated the third of the three nights at ATP - they chose all the bands - and BP's DJing introduced MBV playing their hugely-anticipated first live show in America for sixteen years. Astounding, it was.
BP's photography also cover MBV's mindblowing appearance at The Electric Picnic in Ireland and their two startling shows at NYC's Roseland Ballroom, as well as their rockin' Roseland Ballroom after-party at the Manhattan club Le Royale - where not surprisingly the DJ was none other than our in-demand Mr Fallon.

DEATH DISCO DUBLIN IS BACK! DJs BP FALLON & ALAN McGEE!
ST PATRICK'S EVE VIBEOUT - THIS MONDAY MARCH 16!
The legendary rockn'n'roll party Death Disco hits Dublin again this Monday March 16St Patrick's Eve!
DJing will be fabled Death Disco founders Alan McGee and BP Fallon!
Alan McGee changed the face - and ears - of British rock when he formed Creation Records and then signed a then-unknown Manchester band called Oasis. Now wisely retired from the crumbling record industry, this outlaw entrepenurial remegade from Glasgow managed or recorded for his label such ground-breaking acts as The Jesus And Mary Chain, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and The Kills. He now runs Death Disco in London every week to packed houses and is responsible for the rise of Britain's hottest new group Glasvegas - who played at Death Disco London last week to scenes of hysteria and Carl Barat crowd surfing.
BP Fallon - based in New York - spent much of last year working in LA with Courtney Love and DJing gigs on US, UK and Ireland tours by The Kills and My Bloody Valentine - as well as DJing at All Tomorrow's Parties in the Catskill Mountains north of New York. His weekly radio show BP Fallon's Wang Dang Doodle on BreakThruRadio.com attracts seven million listeners globally per show.
The DJing duo of Alan McGee and BP Fallon have thrown their famous Death Disco parties throughout America, Japan and Europe. Guest DJs who have popped up include Kate Moss, Courtney Love, Shane MacGowan, the afore-mentioned Carl Barat - and even the mighty Ronnie Drew!
So prepare for the very first party of St Patrick's Day in Ireland! Kicking off on St Patrick's Eve March 16 at Buck Whaley's, Death Disco Dublin will be all dancing a go go and rock'n'roll smiles. You can imagine. Says Alan "I love DJing in Dublin because the audiences aren't afraid to go mental. BP and I are the odd couple and it's always brilliant".
