When Under Ether – A new RTE music TV show debuts tonight
The curiously named When Under Ether (after a Polly Jean Harvey song title) debuts tonight at 11.50pm on RTE Two.
It’s the first of a six-part video-based alternative music series which will broadcast on Tuesday nights and presented by former Nightshift presenter & Phantom 105.2 DJ Michelle Doherty and musician & former Nightshift producer Elton Mullally.
The show covers all aspects of the alternative music scene, with a keen eye on homegrown talent. It will feature a dynamic video playlist, band interviews, live performances, and a comprehensive guide to gigs and cultural events nationwide.
Featured artists in Episode 1 include: The XX, Arctic monkeys, Grizzly Bear, Super Furry Animals, Ann Scott, Health, and Talking Heads.
Dave Geraghty is interviewed having just released his excellent second solo album “The Victory Dance”. Delorentos are live guests performing brand new single SECRET.
Excellent show its a pity its wont become a regular fixture on RTE Two or maby a music channel similar to this show could launch sometime in the near future here in Ireland its really needed…. maybe RTE Music or even State TV???
