Best news of the week is that A Lazarus Soul gig in Whelans is sold out. Not good news if you don’t have a ticket but this band are the beating soul of a Dublin not convinced by the technicolour surroundings of cranes and big tech companies.
Deerhunter have 2 gigs in Whelans on Saturday which is nice for those too young and constrained by the fact that so much of live music in this city takes place in bars. If you fancy some ska music then The Selecter are in the Academy on the same night while Daughters bring their noise to the Button Factory. 2 punk gigs are clashing too with No Collusion in Drop Dead Twice and Control in Thomas House. Busy days indeed
