Their self-produced Northern Ireland Music Prize-nominated album ‘Plays Hard to Get’ pulls you like a rag doll through its nine tracks of improvisation-soaked post-punk. Featuring oblique production nods to influences as disparate as modern classical music and sixties pop, the album track ‘Short Stretch of Day’ was recently used in the HBO documentary ‘Game of Thrones: The Last Watch’.
This is a great opportunity to see these exploratory pioneers in the intimate setting of Central Arts; one for people who like their music edgy. This is a BYOB event and tickets priced at just €10 (plus booking fee) are available from www.centralarts.ie. For more info on this and other upcoming events, check out Central Arts on Facebook.
