Description:
Nestled in Dublin's "Cultural District", the hen-party over-run area of Temple Bar, The Button Factory has gone through more rebranding, and revamping in its short history than most of the city's other music establishments. That said, it's a quality venue, with decent sound system, a good high stage allowing a clear line of site for all - from six-foot mod to five-foot emo alike. A favourite of the late teens to early twenty year old set, The Button Factory does, to its credit, run both local acts needing a decent environment to make an impact, and quality international acts, where the fan gets an opportunity to see big names in a small environment. This writer has seen everyone from Ash to Frank Black to Presidents of the United States of America to Snow Patrol perform here, and has never been disappointed. Good quality venue, and with the recent (2009) refurbishments, with the partition wall between music room and bar now removed, it has greater clout to take on other venues in the city, which may have been favoured by bands looking to pack in the extra 100 or so punters. Well worth catching a gig here.Location: Curved Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Filthy Dukes introduce themselves: "We are Filthy Dukes. We were DJs, now we are a band and DJs and also producers. It was just Olly and Tim playing records, it sometimes still is in fact, then we started to work with Mark to make music. We have made a debut album, Nonsense In The Dark that's out right now. We have also released some singles and done a bunch of remixes so keep an ear and eye out because they're all rather splendid."
