Psycho Fest at the Dublin Fringe Festival
It’s mayhem in the Spiegel! Dublin ’s premier promoters of garage punk, Psychotic Reaction, bring their annual Psycho Fest event to the tent with some of Ireland ’s hottest rock acts sharing the bill. It's Humanzi's first show in Ireland in nearly two years, and combined with feverish energy of The Things and The Dagger Lees (formerly Stagger Lee), this is sure to be a banging night of fresh, raw and diverse sounds.
HUMANZI, (SFR)
After nearly a two year absence from the Irish music scene Humanzi return to their home land with a new sound and approach to their music and lifestyles. With the past 18 months spent in Berlin writing and recording their latest album, they have found a more mature sound to their 2006 debut album. With some European tours alongside the Beatsteaks and festival appearances with the likes of the Cult and the Sex Pistols.
