Gig: Mia Sparrow / Earl Mustard (Toner, Dublin; July 30th)

Tomorrow night will see the wonderful Mia Sparrow and Earl Mustard play a free gig at Toner's on Baggot Street (Dublin).
With songs crafted via wiry guitar hooks and lines, tangles amongst occasional blips and electronic cuts, Mia Sparrow have formulated a sound that is vaguely familiar, but not so much so that deja vu occurs. Sitting on the rims of electronic entangled guitar music, the three-piece intrigue rather than bore, as their aural manglings skip around the usual trappings of such a common genre. Nice.

Following the break-up of Hoovers and Sledgehammers last year, guitarist, drummer and vocalist Earl Mustard has been earning his keep outside Brown Thomas on Grafton Street by banging out covers of Richard Ashcroft and mid-90's Radiohead; all the while being pelted with love shaped rotten tomatoes.

This gig will apparently have a "relaxed atmosphere", but I don't believe that for a fucking second and neither should you. Fun will be had.
Doors are 9pm and admission is absolutely nowt!!
