Come Here To Me!

Propagandhi + Strike Anywhere. The Village, 3 December.

Propagandhi, long-running Canadian political punk band. I really like their earlier stuff. To be honest, not too keen on their new “heavier and more technical heavy metal-influenced sound”.

Supporting are Protest the Hero, “a progressive metal band” (don’t sound like my cup of tea) and Strike Anywhere, excellent political melodic hardcore punk. Saw them last year in Ruaille Buaille and was very impressed. Looking forward to seeing them again.

(As an added bonus, Propagandhi will be interviewed by CHTM’s hXci; the review should appear some time over the weekend!)

The Village
Doors 7.30pm
Tickets €18 (Decent for three touring bands)

Paranoid Visions + Bionic Rats. The Thomas House, 4 December.

Paranoid Visions, in your face, long running Dublin punk band with The Bionic Rats, hard working, constantly gigging ska + reggae group. With DJs Traycee Oi Town and JB from Ska Patrol (Near FM). It’s hxci’s birthday so I don’t think I’m going to get to this but it’s well worth publicising and I hope they get a good crowd.

Thomas House
Doors 8pm
Tickets €9 (It’s for a good cause!)

The Revellions + The Pacifics. Shebeen Chic, 5 December.

Garage/Zombie Rock/Surf gig. Personally, it’s not really what I’m into but I’m going along to see my mates who play in The Pulpit.

Shebeen Chic.
Doors 9pm.
Admission €3 (Bargain!)
