The authors of the best Irish album "Gilla Band" return to Lukiškės prison
Taking a little break from its flagship music event 8 Festival, 8 Days A Week, an agency that is always looking for special music, continues to fill its calendar of events. The promoters of quality music, who are successfully expanding their activities in the Baltic countries, invite you to celebrate on September 12, when the noisy rockers "Gilla Band" will play their first solo concert in Vilnius. Share the good news with your neighbors: September 9. the group will perform in Tallinn, and on September 10 - In Riga. There weren't that many dates for Europe, so the agency is happy that it managed to attract the group to the Baltic countries. One fan even vowed to clone herself 3,000 times if necessary to get the Gilla Band to come to her country.
The members of the Lithuanian bands Akli, Plié, and Sraigės Efektas are already excited about the upcoming Gilla Band concert in Vilnius.
A few years ago, The Talkies, released in 2019 by the quartet still known as the Girl Band, took first place in The Irish Times' poll for the best Irish album of all time. Think the title "Best Irish Album" isn't cool enough? After all, it's not the USA and it's not Great Britain... But look what music stars come from this emerald island: U2, The Cranberries, Sinead O'Connor, My Bloody Valentine, Fontaines D.C., The Pogues, Thin Lizzy, Ash, Therapy?, Van Morrison, Roisin Murphy and many more.
Many praise the Gilla Band's dark and brooding sound, deconstructing the idea of pop music and rebuilding it from the ground up. For example, the band wrote all the songs on their album The Talkies in one key, and deliberately avoided pronouns in the lyrics.
The Gilla Band's dystopian contours spill over into the fear we all struggle with. Some say that without this band there would be no IDLES, no Fontaines D.C., no others, because they all formed after hearing this band for the first time and it totally blew them away. Even "ba."'s last album is perhaps the most inspired by the work and sound of "Gilla Band". Because this is music that actively resists such tired concepts as clear melodies and predictable lyrics.
The concert organizers know and guarantee that they are not bringing a cat in a bag - the quartet from Ireland was one of the highlights of the first "8 Festival" and became an unexpectedly pleasant discovery for many with a very good sound. It is in live performances that the unbridled energy of the Gilla Band is revealed, the musicians torture their instruments with cold precision and devilish determination, and the charismatic vocalist Dara Kiely reveals his fragmented imagination.
A classic of the genre - the cheapest tickets will be enough for the fastest. We encourage you to take care of them in advance and save. What's the delay?
