This weeks assortment of gigs in Dublin
Oh my lord it’s play of the day
The soundtrack for a person kidnapped, blindfolded and bound. You have been brought into a forest, you know as you can smell the wood and pine cone. You can feel the dampness that the tree protrude. The life of the forest. It's pitch black and you've no idea where you are or how to get anywhere.
Play of the day keep taking liquids
It spits, it sneers and then crawls out from the garage. Liquids are from Indiana and their new record gets the Drunken Sailor treatment.
Emma Ruth Rundle returning to Dublin
Emma Ruth Rundle is to perform a series of one-of-a-kind solo piano live dates throughout the UK and Ireland this August, with Jo Quail in support. This follows sell-out shows across mainland Europe. Her Dublin date in St Anns Church promises to be special
Pollen remember when you were my friend
Pittsburgh punks have re-released their sophomore album, 'Crescent,' for the first time ever on vinyl, out now via Double Helix Records. These are songs full of pace change and structure to keep you thinking as they speed pop into your veins. We spoke with Drummer Bob Hoag about the experience
Play of the day ain’t no tourists
Despondency is a recurring theme in the record. (former) youth living in cities they don't wanna live in, working jobs they don't want under a regime they don't like. The perfect recipe for straight forward mid tempo punk rock.
Play of the day is not to be dumped
The 6 songs here have 1 song over 1 minute long. They come and go just as quick as I’m left wanting more and wanting to find out more.
This weeks Dublin gigs July 26 – aug 1
A selection of the weeks gigs happening in Dublin with some punk classics at the weekend
Play of the day from the Blood of the sun
If the idea of spinning in a vortex as you move from one dimension to the next appeals then this could be your soundtrack. It drones, they are in no rush to finish their songs. The psychedelic fuzz of the songs repeat while the bass and drums provide a solid retentive background
Play of the day comes with the daylight
With all that sun shining instead of worrying about the effects the changing climate is having our planet and just before we burn to death, take a breath and listen to this joyous pop tune from the workday release.
