A busy week this week with the punk poet kicking it all off in the Olympia – John Cooper Clarke is back in town tonight (Monday). There is the surf pop of Peach Pit in Vicar Street if you fancy some tunes. Noise comes to town with the Oh Sees bringing their organised bedlam to the Button Factory for 2 nights. Or maybe you were lucky enough to get a ticket to see Viagra Boys in the Academy on Friday. The Wild Duck continue the Alternative Social Sunday with the gothic sound of Ava Vox. Watch out for BDDRM that evening playing the Workmans with m(h)aol, following on from Dublin is Sound in Lost Lane earlier. Never a dull moment in the capital
