Gilla Band

About this event

Giraffe  is the first new music from Gilla Band in nearly 4 years.  This follows their critically acclaimed 3 rd 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.
