Guest Dee-Jays FOR DANCERS ONLY featuring Bill Kealy, Ray O’Reilly & Big Rog (NI)

Graham Day & The Gaolers have a serious garage punk pedigree behind them. Graham Day has graced such influential bands as The Prisoners & Thee Mighty Caesars, Johnny Barker was the original bass player in Billy Childish’s Buff Medways & has also played with The Daggermen, Kravin “A”s amongst others while Dan Elekro is the current drummer of legendary Atlanta/US garage band The Woggles.

Graham Day is garage punk royalty who was a founder member of cult band “The Prisoners”. The Prisoners are now lauded as the great pioneers of modern day garage while the NME described them as one of the most influential bands of the 80s. Everyone from Oasis’ Noel Gallagher to Radio One’s Steve Lamacq claim to love them, taking in Ian Brown and the Horrors along the way.
Gig Review Riot 77 Magazine: Graham Day & The Gaolers - The Academy Dublin
Graham Day & The Gaolers were over for just the one gig & put the effort in to make it worth their while. Draped in customary outfits of matching blazers, skin tight white jeans & Chelsea boots, their image much like their music is heavily steeped in the 60’s Garage Rock/Beat traditions. They’ve built on that sound in places & you wouldn’t be paying attention if you didn’t notice lots of ‘70’s Punk techniques in there too. Their sound was incredible with distorted guitars & pounding drumbeats that could rival any of your favourite Garage Bands. The crowd lapped it up too, pushed up close & remained within an inch of the band the entire night. And who could blame them?
THE REVELLIONS: With a pounding rhythm section, a swirling and moody organ player, a guitar player that shoots out daunting riffs like early morning target practice and a psychotic vocalist that screams like a drunken banshee, The Revellions know how to keep it primitive. http://www.myspace.com/therevellions
THE BLOODY SHANKS: Combining biting organ and reverb drenched guitar, Dublin Garage Punks The Bloody Shanks play stomping two minute songs, propelled along by a driving rhythm section. Taking influence from 60s bands like The Rolling Stones and The Kinks, '77 Punk bands The Clash and Buzzcocks and anything good, The Bloody Shanks' live performances are loud and raw.
