Currently in the midst of an Irish tour that kicked off in Sligo on January 21, Jape have just been announced as one of the acts set to rock the RDS next month.

With the jaunt around the country finishing up in Tralee on February 24, Richie Egan's appearance at the Music Show – which takes place February 25-26 – will be the perfect finale to their first live endeavours of 2012.

Egan is promoting the band's current album Ocean Of Frequency, a fine record that graced many a year-end poll in 2011.

Tickets for the Music Show are available (€12 one day, €16 for the weekend) on Ticketmaster.

If you can't wait till then, you can catch Jape at:

Roisin Dubh, Galway (February 2); Glens Centre, Manorhamilton (3); Auntie Annie’s, Belfast (9); Clubhouse, Castlebar (11); Pavillion, Cork (16); McHugh’s Drogheda (17); and Club Head Bang Bang, Tralee (24).

The band will then play a date at Whelan's on March 16.
