A few weeks before the release of their second album, which will follow the consequential Dogrel, released just over a year ago, the Irish quintet will give a small live concert on the Instagram TV page of the record store Rough Trade. The Dublin-based band, often associated to the new “post-punk” scene with Shame, Idles, and The Murder Capital (also from Dublin), present several new tracks from A Hero’s Death, out on Partisan Records om July 31.
To mark the release of the vinyl and CD of the excellent Gentle Grip, pleasantly received when the digital version was released a few weeks ago, the New York dance-punk/no-wave band will present the thing live from the Rough Trade shop and concert hall in Brooklyn. Public Practice is the meeting of almost everything that was best in post-punk, dance-punk, no wave and new wave from 1978 to 1982. Think Blondie, Talking Heads, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Bush Tetras, Suicide, Gang of Four, and especially Au Pairs, all executed with accuracy but without an ounce of nostalgia! It’s free and it’s not to be missed.
