Throughout the years, they have maintained their semi-perverse MO of (as guitarist Steve Marker once said) taking pop music to “make it as horrible sounding as we can”. This one is for the focused Garbage fan, the ones who were there from the 1995 self-titled debut album and who stuck with them all the way to 2016’s Strange Little Birds. The band previously played Ireland at last year’s Electric Picnic, but that was a catch-all show. This Dublin date is the final one for the European leg of Garbage’s tour, so expect a little bit of relief and a whole lotta energy. Their music is the midweek smattering of joy you deserve. There are few things in this life that can’t be improved upon by adding horn and instead of going in by halves, New Orleans group Hot 8 Brass Band rework old favourites like Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing, Snoop Dogg’s Who Am I (What’s My Name?) and Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart by adding brass on top of brass in a glorious fusion of jazz, funk and hip-hop.
The Button Factory, Dublin (Also Thursday 18th, Set Theatre, Kilkenny) Special guests include London nu-folk singer-songwriter Beabadoobee (aka Bea Kristi) and Australian songwriter Kirin J Callinan. Let’s hope there’s more music than off-kilter attempts at laughter. The Canadian delivers loose-ended indie-psych/pop but has often been known to deviate from the music by doing a few magic tricks and comedy sketches. Mac DeMarco is the oddball that made good, a naïve singer-songwriter who gradually gained the necessary levels of experience to take him out of a few dead-end jobs and into a full-time career as a musician. This event is also raising money for Women’s Aid, with all donations welcome.
#MAC DEMARCO TORRENT REGISTRATION#
There is a €5 registration fee and for an extra tenner you can pick up a long brown “Cathy” wig. In all your days, how many Cathys dancing around in a red gúna have you taken in in one glance? One? Two? Well then, you are in for quite the treat when hundreds of Cathys descend upon Fairview Park to recreate the dance routine from Kate Bush’s video for Wuthering Heights.
