Spring 2009 will see the launch of the Glasswerk.ie in Ireland – a country with a rich musical heritage & plenty of untapped talent. Headlining the first show will be Butterfly Explosion, one of the most promising bands to emerge from the country. Musically, Butterfly Explosion have been described as “Brooding, atmospheric, melodic and lush” with favourable comparisons to Slowdive, Explosions in the Sky & M83. After two acclaimed EPs and several shows supporting bands such as God is an Astronaut, 65 Days of Static, Howling Bells & Soundpool in the UK and USA; Butterfly Explosion have developed a sentient fan-base already who are waiting for their eagerly anticipated debut album.

Next up we introduce The Whiteliars for their debut Dublin show. Spearheaded by respected music producer Leo Pearson who has worked with U2 & Elvis Costello; their performance promises something special & with the ubiquitous but always entertaining NC Lawlor in tow, this will, no doubt, set proceedings up for an exciting showcase of new music.

Wrapping up proceedings and joining residents of Strictly Handbag/Rock and Roll squad will be the cream of Dublin’s indie DJ talent that includes: Trev Radiator, Arveene & Johnny Moy.
