Futureheads announce Whelans gig

Sunderland 4-piece bring new a cappella acoustic show to Dublin.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 23 Jul 2012

The Futureheads will perform songs from their latest album Raw in Whelans on September 7. Tickets are €15.00 and go on sale from Ticketmaster on Thursday July 26

The experimental post punk group raised a few eyebrows earlier in the year with the release of their album Raw which saw them toss their instruments aside and rely solely on their vocals, some foot taps and a few claps.

On the album The Futureheads also threw in a few a cappello renditions of some of their classic hits such as 'Man Ray' and 'Robot'.

Their live performance in Whelans will undoubtedly be a unique one.

Their recent appearance in the top ten with a cover of ‘Hounds Of Love’ has provided The Futureheads with the perfect excuse to tart up and re-release last year’s fine but neglected debut L.P. Of course, this is a shameless example of commercial opportunism (the world really could go on spinning without seeing the ropey videos, mumbled interviews and shaky gig footage contained on the bonus DVD), but such is the energy and likeability of said record, only a churl or Stereophonics fan would deny it a further opportunity to invade as many extra collections as it can.
