Oh what interesting times. A week doesn’t go by without something of interest happening in the Capital City and whilst a lot of focus will be on the rally organised by the National Housing and homeless coalition on Tuesday lunchtime outside Leinster House there’s a pretty cool gig that night in Drop Dead twice with Billy Liar coming over from Scotland to play with his friend Joe McMahon. Two days later Jinx Lennon is in the Thomas House and then on Saturday the incredible Interrobang are in Drop Dead Twice. Unfortunately Yurt are on the same night. I know us music fans tend to rave eloquently about our favourite bands, of which there are many, but if you can get out on Saturday. Please do, Interrobang are brilliant live. We interviewed them a while back, raved about their album and this week they will be picking thursday tunes. Oh and the bloody amazing Jeff rosenstock is in town too on Saturday. Dublin, you are blessed
