Irish gigs coming up

arigold

I made the decision yesterday to try make at least one Irish gig a week if possible for the Summer months. It's pretty ridiculous, there are gigs on every night in good ol' dubalin towin but the only ones I see are big International bands or my mates bands.

So now I need to know, what Irish bands are playing soon that might be pleasurable to my ears?

You could see a whole load of Irish bands all in one weekend!!!

jasus i could! and i'm a wicklow native, happy days, back to the lakes!

If I'd of known I definitely would of got tickets but I've already got way too much on this weekend (I'm very popular and in demand you see), so I'll be starting my great love affair with Irish bands next week in Dublin.

So all suggestions are welcome!

hooray for humans is the next big gig for me,

no one to go with though so the gig buddies forum will come in handy.

they're not irish but scottish band FRIGHTENED RABBIT are playing at hwch festival in september. saw them last time they were over and they blew me away. they have a couple of fantastic albums too. you should definitely check them out.

I'll probably check out that Rest gig too, heard good things about them. I just found out Adebisi Shank were supporting Electric Eel Shock there, pissed off I missed that :mad:

Other cool Irish bands - A Futurist Theatre (http://www.myspace.com/afuturisttheatre), Simon and the Ghost (http://www.myspace.com/simonandtheghost), of course God Is An Astronaut.. trying to think of other Irish bands I listen to but having a bit of a blank :P

Theres a two day unsigned band festival going on in Enniskillen on the 16th and 17th of august..... its called Vibefest and this is its first year, its running in conjunction witha wakeboarding festival..... should be good. Plus my band are playing at it!

istink

i hear there are 90 bands playing at hwch and most are irish. there's a scottish 'invasion' that curated by sons and daughters so should be a few interesting acts there.

Rest are pretty great though, i'd recomend picking up Burning In Water, Drowning In Flame by them. Haven't seen 'em since August '06...

The Kybosh are playing Crawdaddy next Wenesday (27th). Support from The Funeral Suits and Spook of the thirteenth lock.

I predict good things...
