I was looking over old photographs, wondering when and where I first stumbled across Max Zaska . It turns out that it was back in 2019, at the now defunct Knockanstockan festival. Since then, I've been lucky enough to catch his show a few more times. They're always a very upbeat affair, full of love, positivity and funky, neo soul vibes that make you want to shake your booty... Tonight, in The Grand Social , was no different. It was an unusually warm October night, and the club was already hot and sticky before Zaska came onstage. It wasn't long before things got even hotter as he was joined onstage by a string of guest vocalist ( Jess Kavanagh , Melina Malone , Nealo , Shiv and Rob DeBoer ), and the crowd loved every moment, as they sang and danced all night. Anyway, go catch Zaska live the next time he is in town, you'll love it! Now for some photos:
I hadn't seen Delorentos play in nearly 4 years. No particular reason why, it just never seemed to happen for us both!
The Workman's Club in Dublin announced a series of gigs called 'We Are Workmans' and one of the acts announced was Delorentos. The tickets were cheap, like real cheap! So I figured, yeap, that's for me!
So, off I headed in to Dublin on Friday night. I got there in plenty of time to see the support act State Lights. I'd never seen them before, but I enjoyed their set. It's a bit of a throwback to 80's rock like Simple Minds and U2, but it's enjoyable and they put on a good show. Worth checking out if you get a chance.
By now, the Workman's was heaving, full to capacity and everyone waiting for Delorentos to take to the stage. When they did, they did not disappoint. It was 2 hours of a non stop party atmosphere. The band gave it everything, the crowd gave it everything. It was a hot, sticky mess of a night and it was glorious, just glorious! It's probably the best gig I've been to all year and it will take a lot to beat it!
Just one minor thing. Red stage lights at gigs are the absolute worst, it really makes taking photos difficult! Anyway...
