After an appearance at Cork’s Indiependence Festival, the indi-rockers will play Whelan’s August 7 with special guests Soundproof and The Competition. On August 26 they’ll end their tour at The Odessa Club with Gillian Verrecchia as part of the venue’s monthly ‘Live at Odessa’ sessions.

DC Tempest will return to the studio following the Dublin shows to begin work on a 5 track EP to be released in late October.

Vocalist Alan Starr will also participate in an August 5-6 acoustic show at Queens University in Belfast through ‘Feel The Music!’. The New York City based organisation brings music to teens who’ve lost a family member in a terrorist act.
