Falling Out Into The Night
Almost ten years after Ride last appeared in Ireland in 1994 and their subsequent breakup a few months later, frontman Mark Gardener will be making a welcome return to these shores for an intimate acoustic evening of Ride classics and new material for one night only at the Sugar Club on November 23rd.
Ride were formed in 1988 in Oxfordshire, U.K., consisting of vocalist/guitarist Gardener, guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell, bassist Stephan Queralt, and drummer Loz Colbert. The band emerged alongside peers like Lush, Pale Saints, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse and Swervedriver, quickly becoming indie darlings and being heralded as leaders of England's early-'90s shoegazing movement. Between 1989 and 1996, the band released four studio albums, four EPs, one live album and several singles. 2001 saw the release of OX4_The Best of Ride, and the re-release of their back catalogue.
Their influence lives on today with many new and established acts on both sides of the Atlantic (Supergrass, Elbow, Coldplay, The Warlocks) namechecking them.
During the past few months Mark has been touring solidly and using any spare time to demo tracks for his solo debut, due next spring, and also mixing his live album comprised of his April 2003 set in New York to be released in November. His date at the Sugar Club is part of a brief European jaunt taking in Stockholm, Brussels, Paris, London, Milan, and Madrid, before some more UK dates to end the year.
Support comes from promising newcomer Robert Lammas.
Available on the night in very limited quantities is “What you get?” an exclusive gig CD with one track from Mark and one track from Robert Lammas.
Tickets are only Ten Euro and are available from City Discs Temple Bar Lane South Dublin 2.
