Silver Apples to play Whelan's

Silver Apples have announced that they will be playing Whelan's on September 12.

It is a rarity for the New York electronic pioneers to play gigs so to have them play here twice within the year is quite the achievement.

It is said that they are one of the first bands to have mixed electronica with rock music, paving the way for the likes of Kraftwerk and New Order.

Tickets are €20 and are available from Road Records, City Discs, Sound Cellar, Spindizzy, Wav Box Office 1890 200078 and online at www.tickets.ie/umack
