Gang twang at the Sugar Club, Dublin, 29 Aug. 2009

Mark O'Mahony ('Soapy' of Prison Love) reports:

Howdy Friends,

Following the success of our collaboration at last year's Red Line Roots Festival, Prison Love & the North Strand Kontra Band are set to come together again next Saturday, 29 August, in the Sugar Club, for a second showdown of East meets West.

Blending the high-energy, hypnotic sounds of the Balkans mixed with everything from funk to drum and bass, the North Strand Kontra Band have brought fresh excitement to the live music scene over the past four years.

Prison Love's fast-paced, driving, old-time and cajun sounds have been thrilling audiences across the globe for nearly ten years. We're just back from stealing the show at the Goud'Acoustic Festival in France and we can't wait to see a few familiar faces.

On the night, each band will play a set before both groups join together for a grand finale performance (or 'Gang Twang' as we know it!) combining the two unique styles of music. It's a musical Molotov cocktail that you don't want to miss!

Tickets are available on the door, priced at €10. Arrive early to avoid disappointment.

What: Prison Love & the North Strand Kontra Band: East meets West!
When: Saturday 29 August; doors 8.00 p.m.
Where: Sugar Club, Leeson St., Dublin 2
Tix: €10 on the door (no pre-booking)

See you there, y'all,

Soapy
