High octane Dublin newcomers Gangs – picked as one of Hot Press' 'Hot For 2013' artists at the start of the year – have announced their plans for a hometown show.

The four piece will play The Academy 2 on Friday August 23. It's a great opportunity to catch an exciting band only two years into their existence. Tickets are €6.50 from [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link]

Just before Christmas they met us at The Workman's Club to record a special live session. The full running order reads: 'Down Boy', 'Killer Silhouette' and 'Crumbs In The Bed'.
