Tomorrow, Wednesday: Skinny Wolves presents Sheer Mag, The #1s, Sissy, Oh Boland @ Bello Bar, Portobello Harbour, Dublin 2 (€10)

Nialler9 writes:

“What if we gave this Thin Lizzy riff a disco beat?” That’s an apt description for Philadelphia low-fidelity rock’n’roll band Sheer Mag (above performing Fan The Flames) who touch down in Dublin with some decent garage and punk local support tomorrow night. A sweaty basement gig awaits you.

Friday October 9th: Hey Rosetta!, Subplots, Saint Sister @ The Workman’s Club, Wellington Quay, Dublin (€13)

Nialler9 writes:

The Newfoundland band make a pleasing orchestral indie-pop sound that’s worth spending time with alone but it’s the local support that lifts this gig. Subplots released a fine album in January while Saint Sister were the hit of last weekend’s Hard Working Class Heroes festival with their Celtic harp-assisted “atmosfolk” sound. This is their debut single Madrid.
