Free tomorrow?
Are A Lazarus Soul too real for ya? If not, then you will rejoice at the news that the Dublin indie outcasts are launching their new album ‘The D They Put Between The R & L’ in The Grand Social tomorrow night.
Last week, Brian Brannigan and his crew ‘dropped’ the lead single ‘No Hope Road’ (above) – in which they sing about escaping the drudgery of modern Irish life by spliffing out to classic Jamaican reggae.
It’s another coruscating state-of-the-nation address from Brannigan, who has fire in his belly and the bit between his teeth. Fans of Joy Division, Billy Bragg and Damien Dempsey take note.
Students of Dublin in the rare oul’ times will also not want to miss the video to ‘We Know Where You Live’, which features wonderful home video footage of the community of Deanstown, north Dublin, in 1972.
Support on the night comes from David Long, former lead singer of cult 1980s indie desperados Into Paradise.
Dubliner Dave releases his new solo album ‘In Headphones’ later this year (catch its first single Pill Box here) and you can read a quite wonderful appreciation of the man and his work by former Into Paradise press officer and ‘No Disco’ TV producer Colm O’Callaghan on his ‘The Blackpool Sentinel’ blog.
Nick says: If you’re searching for the pure soul of Irish rock, look no further.
Really looking forward to this gig. Both A lazarus Soul & David Long-hopefully he will play ‘Underground Song’
