The Thrills
The Thrills seem to be going from strength to strength lately, and their seamless live performance on the Rising stage last night was testimony to the sheer talent and dynamism these Dublin boys possess. Their onstage energy had a highly contagious effect, with big hits ‘Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far)’ and ‘One Horse Town’ raising the roof in the jam-packed tent. The Thrills’ unique style of eclectic rock inspired a healthy amount of good old-fashioned moshing and many a crowd sing-a-long – a promising reception for a band who only last month released their first long player, So Much For The City. “This is the best gig I’ve ever done,” enthused frontman Conor Deasy as he finished their set. Touché.
