Seven to catch at HWCH.

NOVASTONE

HWCH hasset up its own download chart, and topping the chart is this Dublin four-piece, with a song called Got to Get Away for a While. The Hub, Saturday 14th, 10.10pm

PATRICK FREYNE & HIS BAD INTENTIONS

Cosmic country-folk from a former member of NPB and El Diablo, who cites Serge Gainsbourg, Lee Hazlewood and Sufjan Stevens among his heroes. Pravda, Saturday 14th, 10.30pm

MICHAEL KNIGHT

Named after the guy with the talking car in the TV series Knight Rider, this Dublin band are probably one of the poppiest on the bill, but don't be surprised to hear some weird time-changes among the Sixties-tinged sounds. Can a collaboration with David Hasselhoff be too far away? The Hub, Friday 13th, 11.45pm

STAR DEPARTMENT

They've been together for less than a year, but these Dublin shoegazers have already proved themselves no slouches in the star department, hooking up with Low and Lou Reed producer Kramer for their debut EP. The Hub, Sunday 15th, 11.25pm

STORY OF HAIR

Three girls, two guys, a lot of hair and oodles of punk attitude informed by the likes of Sonic Youth, Fugazi and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Spirit, Friday 13th, 10.15pm.

LES BIEN

This wild, orgiastic dance collective play with "the driven force of a hundred naked sex-starved nymphos rammed tight inside a bouncy room", and they can be heard on the HCWH ad on MTV and E4. Sadly, naked nymphos not visible. Spirit, Sunday 15th, 8.45pm

ROBOTNIK

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Baldoyle boy Chris Morrin, who uses guitar and laptop to create a bedroom blend of folk, electro beats and weird sounds. Ireland's own Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly? Watch the skies. Spirit, Sunday 15th, 8pm
