Get your recommended dose of the Galway quintet this Saturday at The Academy. Tickets are dwindling, but can still be bought starting at €30 over at [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].

If for some reason you need a second opinion on the legendary rockers, they'll also play at Mandela Hall, Belfast (November 18); Swan Lane, Navan (19); Millennium, Derry (20); West County Hotel, Ennis (December 27); Rustic Inn, Abbeyshrule, Longford (28); Royal Theatre, Castlebar (29); and INEC, Killarney (31).

And if you're alone and life is making you lonely over the holidays, don't fret. We prescribe picking up the newest Saw Doctors' single 'Downtown', a cover of the '60s hit featuring Petula Clark. It'll be available on iTunes December 9.
