I've been waiting a long time to see Fontaines DC live again after last seeing them back in May 2019 at Forbidden Fruit. Originally scheduled for July 2020, everyone's friend, COVID, got in the way and mae sure that didn't happen. To make maters worse, the rescheduled date in 2021 didn't happen either, for the exact same reason! Fear not though, it is 2022 and not even COVID was going to stop this gig happening! I packed my bag and headed off to the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin, for what promised to be one of the highlights of the year! So, was it worth waiting for? Oh hell yeah! Others in the media will tell you more about it, but all you need to know is that it was a hit filled, fantastic gig by a band at the top of their game. Oh and the rain stayed away! Setlist (courtesy of Setlist.FM ) is as follows: In ár gCroíthe go deo A Lucid Dream Sha Sha Sha Roman Holiday How Cold Love Is I Don't Belong You Said The Couple Across the Way Televised Mind Big Shot Hurri
I mentioned previously that I first saw Daithí gigging in a tent on Achill Island back in 2015 and was blown away by his set...
Anyway, Daithí is releasing a new album on October 18th called L.O.S.S. and as a but of a teaser, has released a new single today called 'Nobody New Around You'.
According to Hotpress, the album will include contributions from long time collaborator Sinead White, Paul Noonan of Bell X1, Ailbhe Reddy and many others.
It sounds like it's going to be another great release from him!
I don't like plagiarism, so you can check out the full Hotpress article here.
