The Guilteens, Jean Pack & Therapy Horse are playing in The Savoy next month.

Therapy Horse are a very good live band that I have seen a few times, shoegazey indie - the other two I haven't heard much from/about but it's good to see three local bands pushing.

I'd love to see Queen Kong play The Savoy.

Taupe and Ten Past Seven playing The Savoy in June.

I don't know much about Taupe but the bog walrus boys from Kerry have always been worth seeing live.

Add to playlist: the disaster-baiting jazz-rock brinkmanship of Taupe and the week’s best new tracks

The trio combine sludgy rock, homemade electronics and squawking into a watertight groove that makes light work of their complex musicianship

Saw Sprints two years ago in Coughlan's and they were excellent. Would like to see them again but I can't muster up a desire that strong for an 11.30pm door opening with a support band prior and two young kids to come home to who will certainly not give me a lie-in in the morning! Aware this is a Heineken promotion job but tis a mad stage time at (you would estimate) 12.30 to 1am ish. Will definitely affect the attendance.
