With gigs from Caribou, Autechre, Sleaford Mods and more leading into U:mack’s 21st year as a promoter, we can expect the man known to most as Timmo to have some special gigs in store for 2015.
Here’s the first one:
Godspeed You! Black Emperor are playing Vicar Street on Saturday April 18th next year.
The Montreal post-rock orchestral dystopian instrumentalists returned in 2012 with their first album ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! in 10 years. Their classic album, for me, and many others I’d imagine, remains Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.
Tickets are €27 from Tickets.ie and Ticketmaster.

F#A#(infinity symbol) to me is their best, it’s like the end of the world in the most life affirming way! Worth checking out too is the New Riot for Zero Canada Ep clocks in under half an hour but two excellent tracks on it.
