Gig of the fortnight is...The Redneck Manifesto

Where and When?

• The Stables, Mullingar - 26/03
• Tripod, Dublin - 27/03

Why?
The Redneck Manifesto are probably this gig guide's favourite Irish band not to have released Loveless and after a long absence (4 years since their last EP, 6 since their last album) they're back with a new album, Friendship.  The two tracks from the new album already released to the internet easily stand up against their earlier material and their deservedly great live rep means that if you can you really should get to one of these gigs.
