Popical Island’s The Community Games compilation, which you may have heard a sampler of already and features 4 EPs from 4 bands associated with the label is now streaming in full ahead of Saturday’s gig in Whelan’s. Cave Ghosts, Ginnels, Grand Pocket Orchestra and No Monster Club share member, space and gear (of the musical variety) so they bandied together under the Popical cause in indie-pop rock solidarity.
Entry to the gig on Saturday upstairs in Whelan’s, €5 or €10 with the LP. If you can’t make the gig, you can buy the collection on Bandcamp.
