this is the first night of the tour for You Kiss By The Book/John Blek and the Rats.
the gig takes place upstairs in whelans and music kicks off at 9pm
the guys are getting the tour started with this free gig so please tell everyone you know.
You Kiss By The Book:
You Kiss By The Book is the shambling, endearing, pared down musical project of Simon Dowling. Having enlisted the micro-scene equivalent of a supergroup (featuring those for whom The Terribles and I Heart The Monster Hero are the regular gig, among others),
Simon recorded an album of winning simplicity live at his house. The result is Bear Leader, a limited edition vinyl released with a free CD enclosed, available at Road Records. The album’s on Hefty Horse records, an imprint that will be familiar to those who’ve attended the gigs Simon has put on in Anseo, upstairs in Whelans and elsewhere.

John Blek and the Rats:
Taking their inspiration from the revelry of music and friends, the bitter end of the bottle, the bruising passage of life and all that comes with it, John Blek and the Rats are a fresh folk outfit from Cork whose melancholy is tempered by a penchant for a good ol’ hodown and a hollerin’. Raised on a diet of the American folk and ballads of their fathers, John Blek and the Rats are a band whose main aspiration is the song. Currently recording in an abandoned dentist surgery in West Cork, John Blek and the Rats' ambition is second only to their desire to write and perform perfect pop records infused with the Americana sensibilities of years gone by.

Hotpress "It's a classsy example of country rock with the odd Springsteen flourish to boot, finely played and sung with an admirable mix of gusto and heartfelt emotion..." "....A truly delicious piece of country-folk..." By Jackie Hayden
