Tonight I went to the Punters Club and saw
Clann Zú. I must say the show was terrific; they played with great
energy and enthusiasm. The music is hard to categorise, alternating between
aethereal ambience and walls of noise. Some of their songs were reminiscent
of Dead Can Dance, The Paradise Motel and My Bloody Valentine; though the set
included a track verging on industrial metal, an
a capella
traditional Irish ballad, and some live drum & bass.
Anyway, Clann Zú playing at the Dan O'Connell this Sunday, and are well worth seeing. They also have a CD out, available from the gig.
The support band (well, the one I saw), PSX, is also pretty good; sort of
jazzy chill-out music.
