Downtownsounds announce with some sadness that after three years of dancing in the Kennedy's basement, they are to wrap up their 52FUNK party after the December and January installments. December will see a live performance from RSAG before one last hooley with the residents on January 10. R.S.A.G. aka Jeremy Hickey is a multi-instrumentalist who records, performs and produces all his own material. His debut Double Album 'Organic Sampler' has just been released on acclaimed local label Psychonavigation Records. Like a mutant hybrid of Talking Heads, ESG and Fela Kuti, the music is funky and strange and percussion heavy. His live show has already brought the house down in the Body and Soul area at Electric Picnic, at Nightflight in the Button Factory, and at a series of high profile support slots to the likes of The Fall. The live show is a stunning spectacle, with Hickey drumming and singing alongside pre-recorded backing tracks and specially cut visuals. Hickey should be taking to the stage around 12.30, with 52FUNK DJs providing you with all the usual dancefloor fare before and after. Admission is €12, doors 11pm.
