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.

DEATH DISCO DUBLIN ST PATRICK'S EVE VIBEOUT!
DJs BP FALLON & ALAN McGEE WIPEOUT!
LILY ALLEN IN SOCIAL INTERCOURSE SHOCK!
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.

BP FALLON GETS BOOKED RONNIE DREW & LED ZEPPELIN
BP Fallon contributes to the brilliant new book Ronnie [Penguin Books]. The book started as Ronnie Drew's own autobiography but sadly was unfinished - Ronnie died in August - so now as well as Ronnie telling his own uplifting story with impeccable style we also see him through the tender eyes of friends like BP plus Michael Kane who worked with him as a night telephonist, John Sheahan of The Dubliners, his late-life Sancho Panza guitarist Mike Hanrahan and lauded actor Niall Tobin - all who have written entertaining and heartwarming pieces for the book
.
BP Fallon called Ronnie Drew "The greatest living Irishman". Bono called him "The king of Ireland". In this uplifting book, BP writes of 'Ronnie Drew's most surreal gigs ever' - when to enormous acclaim Ronnie DJed with BP at Death Disco parties in New York and Dublin, illustrated with photographs by Barbara Lindberg. BP's essay is a hoot - and very moving, too, another insight into this special man. Some of BP's own photography also appears in the book. And under a 1967 photograph captioned 'Luke and Ronnie with BP Fallon', Ronnie's son Phelin comments on BP "He's a real gentle guy. My dad always like people who were just really gentle".
And a somewhat different type of music... our rock'n'roll voyager Mr Fallon is much-quoted in Mick Wall's magnum opus Led Zeppelin biography When Giants Walked The Earth [Orion Books]. And BP joins Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, Jeff Beck and all in being quoted in the January 2009 Uncut Magazine cover story on Jimmy Page. And in the Editorial, Allan Jones tells a strange yarn about BP and a mysterious wraith...
Ronnie Drew RIP

BP FALLON ON PODGE & RODGE!
HIGHEST VIEWING FIGURES EVER!"THEY'RE GENIUS" SAYS BP
SURREAL
IRISH TV LUNACY NOW ON YouTube!
BP Fallon has done the strangest television appearance of his career so far, being interviewed by a pair of puppets on Irish TV. In the celebrated line of such cutting-edge celebrities as Sinead O'Connor and Shane MacGowan, BP travelled to Ballydung Manor to be the special guest on the 100th edition of the hugely popular Podge & Rodge television show. The anarchicPodge and Rodge are famous for their no-holds-barred pugnacious interview style - often winding up their victims like a clockwork orangutang - but this time they were largely respectful and clearly genuinely fascinated by BP's adventures in music, asking him about everything from working at The Beatles' Apple Records and appearing on Top Of The Pops with John Lennon to his best-selling books on U2 and Boyzone to his acclaimed photographic work.
The programme had the highest viewing figures ever of any
Podge & Rodge show.
Says BP "I was a big Podge & Rodge fan before - I wouldn't have gone on their show if I didn't dig them - but having met them I've got to say that they're genius. Absolutely brilliant!"
It
was not be the first time that our Mr Fallon
has been interviewed by a non-human. When he was promoting
his book U2 Faraway So Close,
he was interviewed on Irish TV by Dustin
The Turkey who has since gone on to enjoy hit records
with such fabbos as the late Joe Dolan
and Sir Bob Geldof who's almost always
on time. In May in Serbia,
'The Duck' as Louis Walsh
calls Dustin The Turkey sung
the song that was Ireland's
entry in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest
[This is all true. We are not making this up].
And
meanwhile the BP Fallon Podge & Rodge
interview can now be seen on YouTube!
What a hoot!

FALLON GETS STONED AGAIN
THE
ROLLING STONES AT NEW YORK'S INTIMATE BEACON THEATRE
The
music of The Rolling Stones is about sex and blood and death and redemption
and joy and more sex.
“The Rolling Stones, they're a great
fucking group!” mad ol' Phil
Spectorenthused in the grooves of The
Stones 1964 recording Andrew's Blues and it was true then and it's true today and it's true tonight
at New York's 2,800 seat Art Deco vaudevillian Beacon Theatre.
Jagger the lithe showman, tight English
rock star arse and rock star skinny body, more energy than
a cat on a hot tin roof, cunning lyrics from those child-bearing
labial lips.
AndKeefandRonnieand MJ when he’s guitaring, these cats can fucking play, this lascivious cauldron of rock’n’roll, blues, country– “Well, we’ve got the hang of it by now” as KR said to BPF somewhere in Germany – and Keef and Ronnie knit and weave their guitars like two old smiling biddies at the foot of the guillotine and Charlie’s great tonight and every night and the catalogue of songs from their forty-plus years is remarkable, a few of which they now air for our sonic delectation:Jumping Jack Flash, Shattered,All Down The Linewith Bobby Keys and the brass blaring,Sympathy For The Devilwith Lisa Fischer wailing, Some Girls with MJ omitting the line "Black girls just wanna get fucked all night",Tumbling Dice, Start Me Up,Brown Sugar… evenSatisfactionsounds vaguely fresh and inHonky Tonk Womanat Mick’s exaggerated delivery of “I laid a divorceeee in Noo Yoik citteaaa!” the Big Apple audience goes even more ape.
He sang in a desultory manner, done it a million times, drawled out Chuck's mighty duo ofSweet Little Sixteen and Roll Over Beethovenand his own double dynamite 1957 explosion ofGreat Balls Of FireandWhole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, wasn't about to burst a gut at 6.30pm in a New York record store to a bunch of Jerry Lee nutters and a posse of hungry photographers. "You here for work or for fun?" you ask one of the snappers. "Work" he says glumly and you immediately hate him. This fellow's photographing The Killer and he doesn't know how brilliant that is. Idiot.
So Jerry Lee's on autopilot but those hands on the keyboard of the beautiful fire-engine red Baldwin piano... the fingers, they dance, run up and down the keys, tinkle 'em, pound 'em, bash 'em, poke 'em, caress 'em oh so fine and oh so effortlessly and he isn't even trying... well, he's an old cat now... years of hellraising and more drugs and drink than all his Sun Records label-matesElvis,Johnny Cash,Carl Perkinsand Roy Orbisoncombined. Had more wives than all of 'em, too. And ol'Jerry LeeLewisis the last man standing.

WE
DID IT FOR LOVE
WE CELEBRATE THE MUSIC AND MAGIC OF ARTHUR LEE AND LOVE
Following the recent sad death of Arthur Lee, we reflect on the extraordinary New York benefit concert in June for the Love mainman.“Bernard, you old tart!” exclaimsRobert Plantwith a big grin on his bearded face as he greets the new arrival, breaking away from a group of people to hug his skinny chum. Will the circle be unbroken? Yes.Robert, he’s standing backstage at The Beacon Theater whenBernard Patrick Fallonambles in laden down with CDs and cameras and a candle and incense and a little soundsystem for his dressing room and a plastic bag of electric light-up red peppers for around the top of his DJ booth. BP’s DJing tonight’s concert ie playing in between band changeovers. His friend with the smiling rural face Robert Plant is topping the bill, singing for the first time ever with an American band.This Plant and Fallon… well, it’s been many a mile and many a smile since they worked together professionally. Mind you tonight, it’s hardly professional in the “We’re getting paid” mode, seeing as they’re giving of their services free to raise money for Love mainman Arthur Lee who’s got acute myelogenus leukemia and is already facing $100,000 in medical bills.
