Man mag sich darüber streiten, ob es für die eigene künstlerische Laufbahn eher Fluch oder Segen sei, mit einem Rock-Superstar wie Bono von U2 befreundet zu sein. Die …

"At the moment of his greatest crisis, Friday delivers his best work by far"

"Amazing what you can achieve with a few lights, six elastic bands and Gavin Friday."

"Gavin Friday has always been a favorite artist of mine for his ability to balance these elements, and to merrily juggle the clever, the absurd, the arch and the painfully personal."

Questo fantastico spirito libero della musica internazionale segna i nostri tempi con il suo anti pop di grande fede. La sua voce sa arrivare a toccare le corde più rigide dell'ascoltatore, la sua passionalità sa scaldare le giornate più fredde. Un disco da acquistare assolutamente!

Though we still smell his perfume, the king is dead. The King of Trash. One happy morning I found His Majesty’s testament in my mail. After feeding it many times to my ears I finally got a gr…

11 mag 2011 - Fionán Martin Hanvey e Gavin Friday non sono sempre la stessa persona. Raramente, forse, si sono assomigliati come in “catholic”, ultimo album del poliedrico e imprevedibile artista irlandese  che negli ultimi sedici anni ha fatto di tutto meno...

Iemand nog nood aan een zoveelste Belgische groepje dat zich blind staart op dEUS of het nodig acht om uitgesproken vernieuwend te zijn? Indien uw antwoord hierop een resolute “Neen!” is, is het Waals-Brabantste Viewmaster misschien wel iets voor u: onbeschaamde ninetiesrevival waarbij iconen als The Lemonheads en Dinosaur Jr centraal staan en de gitaren

Shot some promo stuff for Gavin Friday over the last couple of weeks and found him to be a complete gent. Gavin's new album 'Catholic' ...

(in Dutch) Mr Friday meets Mrs Heyboer. A remarkable encounter during this week's press event in Amsterdam.

To promote his upcoming ‘catholic’ album (2011) Gavin Friday just released the first album track for free. The track is called ‘Able’. The art work for the song relates to t…

As the previous post pointed out, Oscar Wilde’s witticisms were what made him famous in Victorian culture. However, beyond his cutting wit in both stories and plays is an overlooked aspect of…

The acclaimed creation of New York City puppet maker Erik Sanko and designer Jessica Grindstaff, this work features a grotesque array of 15 artfully handcrafted figures in a dark comic tale unfolding in a fantastic Victorian world. There seven characters representing the seven deadly sins convene at a dead millionaire’s estate to claim their inheritance as determined by a fortune teller. One by one, each is delivered what they have coming to them, but perhaps not what they are expecting—a brutal, but suitable, demise.

"It is quite unbelievable that such a band (which would be alternative even by the standards of progressive cities like London or West Berlin) came out of hyperconservative Dublin of the late seventies."

"The whole album has a lounge feel to it and yet there's also a deep complexity to the work though in the end Friday is really just a romantic."

We recently came across a tape recording of a Gerry Ryan Unplugged show, where Gerry devoted an hour to live recordings of tracks performed by guests on his show over the previous 12 months. These …
