They’re fucking great Lopes. That’s from the Buzz Buzz EP and they released a split recently with Junior Brother. Cracking live band too.

Sweeeet!

Going to have to sell my London ticket as I have a work thing if anyone hasn’t booked yet (e-ticket)

Gert · 2019-09-04T15:54:50.352Z

Ooh I’m interested

roastthemonaspit · 2019-09-05T04:30:25.224Z

Great I will send you a message

Going to keep listening but I’m a bit gutted I don’t like some of these new tracks more…

I like it but it will probably work even better in the context of the album. It’s really menacing and dark, it’s more like a sound art piece or a soundtrack than a “song”, even by their standards.

SO EXCITED FOR THE ALBUM AND SEEING EM LIVE AGAIN

Icarus-Smicarus · 2019-09-10T16:26:42.490Z

Shoulderblades was a grower, I imagine this one will work better in the context of the album than as a single though.

Going Norway is one of the best things they’ve ever done

Sadly can’t make the London date any more, so if anyone on here wants a ticket before I bung it on Twickets lemme know. (Got the physical tickets already)

Girl Band: The Talkies review – A raucous, idiosyncratic return

Nothing predictable about Dublin group’s second release following a difficult period

Top marks to Dara for tackling his health issues head on. So glad they’re back.

Laggard is splendid and would work perfectly as the opening track on their upcoming shows.

Description of the first track really makes me think of;

The Hard Times – 15 Sep 19

Opinion: Wouldn’t It Be Funny if We Left It in the Recording

It’s hard to express how surreal it feels to be in a real recording studio with a real producer. After years of basement demos, begging…

Due to my excitement at the time i have ordered too many tickets for the Girl Band show in Dublin on the 22nd of Nov.
So if any Dissers know of anyone looking for 2 tickets for that gig let em know, failing that i’ll stick them on stub hub or something.

funkycow · 2019-09-19T11:52:08.366Z

F*ck me, The Claque (Alan Duggan’s side project) is fantastic, seriously:

Sort of shoegaze, sort of Girl Band, sort of reminiscent of the Swirlies. Wow!!!

roastthemonaspit · 2019-09-19T12:24:48.657Z

Yeah its proper great

Otto · 2019-09-19T12:25:24.873Z

Wow hope there’s more of this!
