Gig of the fortnight is... The Thermals
Where and When?
Auntie Annies, Belfast - 18/06
Academy 2, Dublin - 19/06
Why?
Just, for a second, imagine something. We're back in the early 90's and Green Day haven't yet gone all political, they're at the "Basket Case" point in their career. Now jump forward to today and try to imagine a band that still has that sound, but the songs are clever and catchy and really really good.
The band you're imagining might just be The Thermals whose 4th album Now We Can See is probably the finest collection of power pop you're likely to hear all year.
