Northern Ireland's newest and most exciting club night, Club STA, returns to Masons in Derry on Saturday June 20th with another of its notorious line-ups featuring Cashier No9, Kitty And The Can Openers plus guests. Doors are at 10pm, this is one not to be missed!
The insanely catchy, brash and swaggering Cashier No. 9 have made sporadic appearances in the past, but having expanded into a blistering live act that includes life-long friends James Smith on guitar, Stuart Magowan on bass and Philip Duffy on dru
ms, it's now emphatically their turn.
Revealing a clutch of songs that have been disgorging from Danny's head into his laptop over the past year and a half they have already won fans as diverse as Steve Lamacq, Janice Long, David Holmes, John Kennedy, Rob Da Bank, and Jon Hillcock, all of whom played their debut single '42 West Avenue' which was released October 27th 2008 through No Dancing records as limited vinyl and digital download.
These key taste-makers are providing their listeners the opportunity to discern the band's plethora of diverse influences that range from Captain Beefheart to T.Rex and Primal Scream to The Bees, by way of Syd Barrett, Paul Simon and Pavement. "I don't want to pin myself down to one sound," Danny modestly reckons.
Their live CV is rapidly deepening too. In addition to numerous storming club shows in Belfast, Dublin, London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, Cashier No 9 have represented Belfast at London's Electric Proms; they've performed at the Knitting Factory in New York, and Brighton's Great Escape in 2007 and 2008; they've supported Gruff Rhys, the Ting Tings, David Holmes, Duke Special and The Fratellis and headlined the NIMIC showcase at 2008's In The City, a gig so well-received it was credited as a highlight on John Kennedy's webpage at xfm.co.uk and mentioned by Janice Long on BBC Radio 2 the next day.
The band have most recently supported Snow Patrol on their arena tour of the UK and Ireland. In March 2009 they played at the re-opening of The Ulster Hall in Belfast alongside Therapy? Duke Special, Iain Archer, The Divine Comedy, Ash and Snow Patrol. Their performance of When Jackie Shone from the gig was broadcast as part of a TV program of the night on St Patrick's evening on BBC 2. They've recorded live sessions for BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio ATL, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Ulster.
Recently they provided the lead track on 'The Oh Yeah Sessions', a new compilation album recorded in Belfast's emerging music centre and showcasing the very best of new Irish music, and the NIMIC-sponsored 'New Music from Northern Ireland' compilation, which received picked up spins at Indie 103 in LA and 98 KUPD in Phoenix, AZ in the USA.
This is Cashier No9's final local show before they play both this year's Oxegen and Glastonbury Festivals. Doors at 10pm and admission is £5……..bargain!
