Punk/Hardcore in Seomra Spraoi

Gigs have started happening in Seomra Spraoi, Dublin's Autonomous Social Centre, proceeds go towards the rent on the building. First one was Crowd Control, Ended and Droppin' Bombs. Putrefaction were supposed to play but unfortunately had to pull out. Good crowd and a great night.

From the Seomra Spraoi webpage:

"Seomra Spraoi is an autonomous social centre in Dublin city centre. It is run by a non-hierarchical, anti capitalist collective on a not-for-profit basis. It hosts workshops, gigs, political meetings, language lessons, film screenings, a vegan cafe and lots more. The centre seeks to be a hub of positive resistance in a city and society where public spaces have been eaten away by consumerism, property speculation and the culture of the car."

Next one is on the 12th of September, details below:

Excuses 7inch Launch, The Tap.

Excuses, Moutpiece and Sort It Out played but I only have pictures of Moutpiece and Excuses. You can get the 7inch from Stitchy Press and Distroy.

Went to see Iron Lung and Gruel a while back while visiting my mate Cormy in London. Both bands were amazing go check them out if you don't know them already. I also have Gruel double lps for sale, if anyone wants one get in touch.
