I was in Dublin city centre this morning for the first time in 12 months. The last time I was there was to see Jane Willow perform in the Cobblestone Pub on February 29th 2020. I never, not for a moment, thought things would turn out as they did. I was looking forward to a year full of gigs and excitement. I think we all know how that turned out. After doing what I had to workwise, I took a spin around Dublin before I headed home. I drove by the aforementioned Cobblestone Pub , the Voodoo Lounge , The Grand Social , The Workmans Club , The Sugar Club and ended up outside Whelans . I've had great nights out in each of those venues and in many more around the country! Dolans of Limerick, Crane Lane Theatre and Kino in Cork, Odd Mollies in Drogheda, the Moat Theatre in Naas, the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Visual in Carlow... The list goes on and on. 2017 and Helmet played Whelans. There I am partying with them after the s
Every now and again, I stumble across something that catches my eye... I'd never heard of Strangers With Guns before, but I'm a big fan of Mik Pyro, so I checked out this tune.
For those who don't know, Mik Pyro was/is the front man for the Republic of Loose, another in the long line of great Irish bands that never really made it outside of Ireland unfortunately. Check them out on YouTube, I think you'll enjoy them.
Anyway, Strangers with Guns are launching their album on August 30th in The Grand Social. If this track is anything to go by, it'll be well worth going to that gig.
I'll see you there!!
