Come Here To Me!

Whenever I find it’s hurting my head trying to describe a band to someone, I like to google around and see what music journos think. They’re like me and you, only they make a living loving music. It’s always nice to find the odd gem that stumps even the best of them. NME described this act live as being “baffling, terrifying and utterly riveting.”

Baffling, I’m not so sure. This Is The Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank (see what they did there?) was very well received upon its release in 2007, and came in for praise from those prior mentioned journos from a wide variety of places. That bloody term ‘Robot rock’ has been thrown around, which is probably fitting, but I just think it sounds too silly to use so try not to. Still, if instrumental ‘robot rock’ sounds up your street, or like me you’re not entirely sure what that is yet but still enjoy good music, this gig may be right up your street.

The gig is designed to give Adebisi Shank a chance to try out some new material, with a new album dropping in August. Math rock, robot rock, catchy-as-hell rock, pick the label of your choice. Not Squares, Nialler9 and Gav (SEBP) will be on hand to DJ on the night. Show kicks off at 11.30, and will cost you one tenner note, two fivers, or whatever change in your pocket makes up €10.
