The hosts of the Nialler9 Podcast (Niall Byrne and Andrea Cleary) in conjunction with The Big Romance present the Listen Closely series of listening parties, a night featuring a focus album from an artist we love on the last Wednesday of the month.
Listen Closely is a chance for the music heads, to appreciate a modern classic album on the Big Romance's warm Toby Hatchett soundsystem with a chat about the record on the night.
This month:
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication (1994)
Niall gets the chance to talk about one of favourite all-time records from his favourite band. Join Niall and Andrea to hear why Ill Communication is one of the best albums around - with chat about the recording, where the Beasties were at in their career, how they addressed their previous misogyny, enlightment, Buddism, activism and pioneered DIY music in a major label system. Plus, the brilliance of Sabotage.
Stick around after for a DJ set from Nialler playing some of his favourite Beastie tracks.
Tickets are limited to 40 for this intimate event.
Doors: 7pm.
Album playback and chat from 7.45pm
