This weeks gigs Aug 1 -7
So while many punks troop off to the holiday resort across the pond for Rebellion the We’ve only just begun festival takes place in Whelans. Friday night os of particular interest for me when the stellar line up of Sprints, m(h)aol, Lucy Gaffney, Banríon, Pretty Happy, Problem Patterns and Grave Goods hit the Wexford Street stages.
Idlewild seem to have snuck a gig in this week. The Scotish popsters have been on the go since 1996 but have continued releasing records right throughout. The are in the Button Factory on Thursday.
In another case of bands that we felt had vanished off the face of the earth but somehow are still playing China Crisis are in Opium on Sunday
