    THE HORRORS, DJ Set
    with support from Dandelion

    Sassy Sue's GoGo Inevitable
    Friday 29th February

    Tickets €14.95 + BF from www.tickets.ie

    One of the Hottest banks in the UK at the moment - The Horrors make their Irish DJ debut on Friday February 29th at Sassy Sue's GoGo Inevitable. Joining Dandelion on the decks for a night of Pych Pop will be Coffin Joe and Spider Webb. The band have just kicked off their own monthly club night in London and we're delighted to be having them over for our first special guest slot this year.

    They might be the most exciting British band since the Sex Pistols, but there’s very little that could’ve prepared The Horrors for what’s happened to them since they played their first gig in September 2005.

    A mess of sharp elbows, big hair, feedback and monochrome clothes, since that gig at The Spread Eagle in Shoreditch, the band (who all met at Southend’s super-fashionable Junk Club, run in the basement of a decaying Victorian hotel by keyboardist Rhys ‘Spider’ Webb) have played gigs everywhere from LA to Hull and Tokyo, been tipped by Jarvis Cocker as the future of British rock and appeared on the cover of NME after only two singles. They’ve scraped knuckles and cut knees.

    They’ve made a video starring acclaimed actress Samantha Morton with legendary director Chris Cunningham and then had the same video swiftly banned by MTV for excessive strobe use and general gruesomeness. They’ve been chased down the street by teenage girls trying to tear out locks of their hair in Rome. They’ve seen UFOs at 3am on the way back to London from a gig in the grounds of a stately home in Derbyshire. They’ve caused $10,000 of damage during a near-riot at a gig in New York after signing to Island Def Jam (home to Kanye West and Jay-Z) in America. And they’ve released a four dark-hearted singles that have annoyed as many people as they’ve enthralled – as well as the New York show, they had to cut short a gig at the last-ever Junk club because of an over enthusiastic crowd.
