Little Green Cars


Think Of Monsters And Men meets Sunshine Underground and you have the sound of this band. 

Once again Dublin continues to produce great new bands, this one being no exception. Little Green Cars is a five piece country rock band who has already captured the interest of many in America.

Despite being referred as a band to watch in 2013, you would be forgiven if you have never come across/or heard of this band. Although they hit the music scene five years ago, Little Green Cars only released their debut single,"The John Wayne" (see video below) at the end of last year (2012). 

I urge you to keep an eye out for them though. I can honestly say I cant get enough of this band - absolutely love them!! Like many others, I am eagerly anticipating the release of their debut album "Absolute Zero" which is due out later this year.

Ryan Adams

Ryan  Adams is one of my all time favorite artists. 

Ryan Adams, a country rock singer from North Carolina first hit the music scene in 1991. In 2009 Adams left the cardinals and announced he was taking a break from music. However in 2010 Adams returned with his thirteenth album "Ashes & Fire." His previous albums include "Hheartbreaker," "Gold," "Demolition," "Rock n Roll," "Love Is Hell," "Cold Roses," "Jacksonville City Nights," "29," "Easy Tiger," "Cardinology," "Onion," and "111/1V." 

Songs that I would definitely suggest checking out are Cry on Demand, How Do You Keep Love Alive, Oh My Sweet Carolina and the superb cover of Wonderwall.

When seeing Ryan Adams live expect both sell out crowds and odd requests like 'no cell phones' or 'bars closed by 9pm.' Despite these odd requests there is no question about it, this is MUST see gig. A charismatic individual with a great deal of talent, Adams will astound you with performances of all hits popular hits from over the years.

22nd April. The Sage Hall 1 - Gateshead, UK
23rd April. London Palladium - London, UK
