It always pays to get in early and catch the support acts at gigs. It's how I first saw The Wood Burning Savages back in March this year, when they supported Therapy? in Dolans Limerick. After the show, I bought a copy of their album Stability from the merch stand. It's a fantastic album, well worth picking up. Like Therapy, TWBS hail from Northern Ireland, Derry to be exact, and they are another in a long line of fantastic rock acts to come from the North. Bands such as The Undertones , Stiff Little Fingers , That Petrol Emotion , the aforementioned Therapy? among many others. Anyway, they were playing Whelans last weekend and I figured I'd pop up as I hadn't seen them enough this year. They had the place hopping and by the end of the gig, everyone was a hot, sticky, sweaty mess! These guys are good, very good. Buy the album and go see them live! Check out the photos below:
