And you thought The Hives were shit hot live! June 22nd promises to be a red letter day for rock 'n' roll fans as The D4 make their Dublin debut at Whelan's.

The jaunt coincides with the release of 6TWENTY, their stompingly fine debut album which is equal parts AC/DC, Motorhead and Jon Spencer.

A huge draw in their native New Zealand, the trio's arsenal of three-minute garage classics includes 'Party', 'Come On!', 'Mysterex', 'Running On Empty' and the radio-unfriendly 'Rock 'N' Roll Motherfucker'.
