Gilla Band – announced to play Vicar Street, Dublin

The single, “Giraffe” was the first new music from Gilla Band in nearly 4 years. This follows their critically acclaimed 3rd album Most Normal which Pitchfork described in a best new music review as “a masterpiece of panic and deconstruction”. Live The Guardian described the band’s set as feeling “genuinely dangerous, like one last rave before the apocalypse, and as perfect an expression of rock’n’roll’s essential auto-destructive impulse as this writer’s ever heard”

For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet — vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner — have been redefining what you could loosely call “rock music” in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way. The band perfected a vision that wasn’t quite post-punk, wasn’t quite noise-rock, wasn’t quite anything besides an idiosyncratic, ground-breaking hybrid that could only come from the four of them – “Giraffe” is their bold new offering.

After a captivating set at All Together Now this year, Gilla Band are finally back and word has it that this album might be their best yet.
