The legendary no wavers are playing Cork and Dublin in October.

New York no wave merchants Swans kick off their European tour with shows in Cyprus Avenue, Cork (October 21) and The Button Factory, Dublin (22).
Close mangled guitar friends of Sonic Youth, the current line-up features original members Michael Gira and Norman Westberg plus four other likeminded mavericks.
Support is provided by James Blackshaw, the 28-year-old Londoner who was selected by Matt Groening to appear at the All Tomorrow’s Parties bash he curated earlier this month in Minehead.
