Sons & Daughters to play Dublin

Sons & Daughters will be returning to Ireland in February.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Dec 2007

A popular draw at last summer's Electric Picnic, they'll headline Whelan's on February 17.

The four-piece recorded their debut album Love The Cup thanks to support from the Scottish Arts Council and were signed to Ba Da Bing! records shortly after.

Their new record This Gift should be out in time for their Dublin visit, tickets for which are available now, priced €16.50.

The Repulsion Box

When Sons and Daughters first came round our way last year via an Arts Council grant and an obscure US indie label, there was much scratching of heads as to where they fitted in. Then we discovered that they were touring with fellow Glaswegians Franz Ferdinand and, hey presto, there you go – part of at least two scenes, job done thank you very much. Except they weren’t, inhabiting instead their own little dark corner of a world that drew on influences way beyond those currently in vogue.
