Future Yard will be welcoming the mighty Gilla Band to play a headline show in May.
While the Dublin four-piece’s cataclysmic sound avoids consignment to any singular genre, the thrusting noise-rock guitars, heavy techno drum beats and wailing vocals paired with frontman Dara Kiely’s witty, mundane and often surrealist lyrics create “as perfect an expression of rock’n’roll’s essential auto-destructive impulse as this writer’s ever heard” (The Guardian).
The noisy Dublin quartet are firm Future Yard favourites, with tracks from their three Rough Trade-released regularly featuring on the FY stereo. Trailblazers for modern Irish alternative music and known for their ferocious live shows which have been described as chaotic, electrifying and “genuinely dangerous, like one last rave before the apocalypse”, Gilla Band are not just a band, but a force.
