The Little Beauties.
The Stag’s Head, Dame Court, Dublin 2
Doors 8pm. Admission €8
Barry H writes:
Counting nine driven and creative members from a multitude of musical backgrounds, Dublin’s The Little Beauties straddle a variety of genres from ska, pop, indie, rock and reggae, all the while stylishly clothed in an instantly recognisable unique sound all of their own.
The warm, beautiful voice of lead singer Amanda Claxton sits blissfully atop an emphatic union of bass and drums carefully crafted into a rhythmic juggernaut, whilst punchy guitars and a stunning brass section inject multi-layered melodies that will have you dancing in the aisles and humming for days.
This gig is a warm up for the band’s Electric Picnic slot and is also doubling up as a birthday party for their lead singer so it’s bound to be a fun affair.”
