WORKHOUSE BRIDES

WORKHOUSE BRIDES

plus guest

NEIL McNAMEE + DEAN GARDNER

Workhouse Brides: a difficult band to pigeon-hole and a group of musicians who create self-indulgent music that’s both melodic and volatile.

Their first recording, ‘Trial By Fire’, introduced the band with a pounding drum beat, grizzly guitar lines, staccato vocals and ambiguous lyrics. The song’s video features an interesting tip of the cap to Scorsese, Keitel and DeNiro.

Second recording ‘ID’ is the band’s magnum opus, comprising six minutes of guitar music clearly influenced by a wide array of musical artists and genres.

With creativity coming from all elements of the act, this Whelan’s gig should entertain punters and invoke spirits (mostly Irish whiskey) in equal measure.

Workhouse Brides are most likely the loudest band in Dublin without a bass player. Their influences include red wine and beer.
