The G-Man Gig of the Week
U.S. band Black Lips crash land in Ireland this weekend with three dates spread across the 25th, 26th and 27th.
The Atlanta Georgians will play shows in Dublin (The Button Factory) on Wednesday, Cork on Thursday (Cyprus Avenue) and Galway (Róisín Dubh) on Friday night.
Arabia Mountain, the bands sixth album, will be released on June 3rd and I am sure plenty of material will be getting a first Irish airing on the three nights.
Have you checked out Mark O'Connor from Limerick, playing The Quad on Friday night according to corkgigs.com? He's managed to get J Mascis to feature on his new album 'ESPERO'. See myspace.com/markoconnor for more info.
I have heard bits and pieces about Mark alright but I cannot say I have had a chance to listen to Espero but I will add it to my list! Also updated the Cork gig guide
Have you seen him live before?
