2022 - the year of the dan: chapter 4
Chapter 4
April started well. Silverbacks in Cyprus Avenue. They’re a Dublin band with a lovely deadpan demeanour. Dublin and deadpan were not words that used to feature in the same sentence when I were a lad. Their demeanour is also decidedly post punk, in a Television and Pavement kind of way. Fantastic spiralling dual guitar lines and matter of fact vocals. A crowd of their cousins came from North Cork and occupied the centre midfield. So said the singer. Wonderful indie guitar songs. Including the peerless Dunkirk. Small crowd apart from the cousins but the band still looked like they were having a ball. Dublin but in no way entitled. Very endearing and worth your time any time.
A word for Skinner on support. Also Dublin. Very young. Possibly underage. 25 minutes of grunge and 5 minutes of punk funk. If they can amplify the funk they’re on to something.
