2009-2014 Irish music blog.  It was pretty good.

Donal is currently on air twice a week with his RTE show Radio Activity, on Friday mornings from 10am-1pm with 2XM and on Sunday nights from 10pm - midnight on 2FM. 

The Parish recording project, assembled by Donal Dineen late in 2010, began life three years previously with a show he put together for Body & Soul at the Electric Picnic in 2007 with Liam O Maonlai & Ronan O Snodaigh. That spectacular night ended with a promise to try & get together in the studio whenever time allowed. So finally, in January 2011, Donal spent a fortnight in the Exchequer Studios in Dublin with Liam & Niwel Tsumbu. The recording began by covering some of the ground they touched on in 2007's & subsequent Electric Picnic appearances but soon progressed to the composition of original material.  New tracks will be released here as they come out, and you can expect a new release in Autumn 2013.

Liam is the songwriter in chief with vocal duties shared with Aminah Dastan from the group Madu. Subsequent sessions took place with Ronán on persussion, Andre Antunes on drums and Peter Erdei on bass, all of whom have joined Donal onstage for live Parish shows over the last couple of years.

Over half a decade after recording an album that was to be called The Chocolate Teapot, these songs will be played and released on the 8th of December 2012 in The Royal Society of Antiquaries in Merrion Square. 


"Dark pop from Dublin with a hypnotic beat, Cap Pas Cap have echoes of Adult, Xmal Deutschland and Ruth. But this is cold-wave that doesn't freeze you out..." - Dazed & Confused

4/5 : "Edgy and finely crafted, Cap Pas Cap’s unsettling grooves are an enthralling experience." - Sunday Business Post

4/5 : "At times they sound like the best bits of CSS and New Young Pony Club but all the while there is something altogether more mysterious going on." - Sunday Tribune

4/5 : "There's an edge and artifice here that the folks at Pitchfork would go gaga for, but Haunted Light is far more than just an album for the scenesters to name-check" - Irish Independent

4/5 : "This is one of the Irish albums of the year" - Metro Ireland

4/5 : "Bottom-heavy rhytms and grooves topped with angular guitars, and edgy attitude and a pop sensibility that shines through the over-riding melancholia" - The Star
"We're happy to announce this particular monster a vicious bitch baying for blood - Haunted Light is 36 minutes of sonic terrorism from a perhaps unsuspecting source. Obviously then, you need to buy it." - Totally Dublin

"For a band that paces itself, their pulsating, motorik, dance funk threatens to run amok, but it is tethered, and sculpted by a knowing pop craft, and less-is-more aesthetic. Their time is now – should they allow it. " - Le Cool

"Surreal, but loving it" - Hot Press

"The record is excellent, beginning with the throbbing groove of opener ‘Mirrors’ and never lets up from there" - Cork Independent
"With the mystical darkness from Ladytron, entertaining charm of Ladyhawk, geometrical computer graphic infused videos and some haunting hipster-cam artwork, Cap Pas Cap are a potentially great band on the first steps of what will hopefully be a long journey." - Heineken Music

"Dark, bass-driven and alluring" - RTE Ten

"Dark, pointed and multi-layered, Haunted Light is a promising debut" - Irish Times
