Having wowed the Aviva masses with the rest of Blondie, Clem Burke returns to Ireland as guest drummer with The Tearaways.
Confirmed so far are dates in Dolan’s, Limerick (August 23) and Whelan’s, Dublin (24).
Although little-known here, the band were huge ‘80s cult favourites in California where Tom Hanks and Rodney Bingenheimer, Arsenio Hall and, er, Piers Morgan have been among their most vocal champions.
The band, who make a very sweet power pop noise, have dashed out five albums in five years, all of which are well worth checking out.
