Twisted Pepper, Dublin Thurs 8pm €10/€8 01-8734800 It's taken a couple of years for Word Playto see the light of day, but Dublin DJ/producer Kormac hasn't been idle in the interim. Since he first emerged as a busy bee on the capital city scene with the Bodytonic and Scibble crews, Kormac and his increasingly larger band have wowed the multitudes at gigs and festivals such as Electric Picnic and Annie Mac Presents.
Offstage, such releases as
The Good Lord
EP and
Show Time
have whetted appetites for a full-scale release. Aside from his own tracks, which blend gospel and barbershop quartets,
Word Play
has guest turns from DJ Yoda, Sold Steel’s DJ Cheeba, Koaste (Black Grass,) Messiah J the Expert and MC Little Tree. Prepare to be dazzled by a 10- piece band featuring brass, a barbershop quartet, banjo, double bass, drums, live visuals and the occasional guest vocalist.
