It’s the Nu Killa Kru’s 10th birthday bash down in Limerick on Saturday, March 6th. It’s also the last Nu Killa Kru gig !

Yes, Code has decided to hang up his gig promoter hat to focus on his bad ass record label: Subtle Audio Recordings.

So who’s playing ? glad you asked:

Code,
Bee,
Roller T,
Mecca,
Deep Cut,
Lymer,
Leon,
Iree MC !

And here’s the 411 from the man himself, Code:

I’m not sure which category our night comes under but either way, we’re celebrating 10 years of ‘Nu Killa Beats’ on Saturday March 6th and it just happens to be the last one aswell.

I’m want to concentrate more on running the Subtle Audio label and making music and it’s kinda hard to do that and still promote a night properly. I’ll still be doing some one-off events related to the Subtle Audio side of things but as for the monthly sessions in Limerick – we’re saying goodbye !

I guess the other reason I don’t feel obliged to run the night anyone is that luckily a certain Mr. Flynn has come along and been putting on quality events in the last few months – I’ve been waiting 10 years for someone stupid enough to run a D&B night in Limerick to appear  

There are alot of good memories from the time we’ve been doing the gigs down here, we’ve put on nights in pretty much every venue in Limerick at one stage or another :

kicked off with a one-off in the Globe in Dec ‘99 (hooked up with Bassbin and had Fierce / Don R and Roller T on the bill)

Then we started a regular weekly in the basement of the Dog House on Thomas St in February of 2000 – that was when we first slapped that glorious achievement of mis-spelling on ourselves and became known as the ‘Nu Killa Kru’  

The night was (equally badly spelt) “Nu Killa Beats” and after running weekly (in what was just a pub venue) for nearly 2 years we switched to monthly nightclub sessions from then on. First of all in the Globe, then in the Savoy (a brief stay) and from there to Costello’s (an equally brief stay!). I think we were out of action for a little while then but resumed in the Redroom (part of the Trinity Rooms). The next venue was The High Stool and then we had a somewhat longer association with Dolans. The most recent home has been The Underground in Baker Place, been there since March ‘07. So we’re also celebrating 3 years there aswell !  

Over the years we’ve had a shed-load of guests at the night…

Equinox,

phew… dunno – am I forgetting anyone ?

Hope anyone who played or attended a gig down here still has a good memory of it !

Of course, it’s the locals who have been the mainstay of the night

When we started it was just myself, Roller T and Bee

soon after, Deep Cut, Hi-Teck, Cain & The Evil Grin got on board, also we used to have Leon / Eggz and John Hannon playing hip-hop sets to start off the nights  

More recently Lymer & Mecca have been regulars on the decks.

Just want to say a big, big thank you to everyone who came to our nights over the years. The die-hards in Limerick who’d dance whether there were 2, 20 or 200 people in the place ! Also, we’ve always come across people who travelled from other towns just to hear some beats and that always made us feel humbled.

So, one last knees-up then ??!

Who’s up for it ??!!

We even have the Iree MC coming back after a 4 year absence !
