Le Galaxie with We Cut Corners, Kopek and Vann

The first unmissable gig of the year, First Fortnight closes with another diverse bill of some of the country’s finest musical talent – and few are greater than Dublin electro-pop outfit Le Galaxie. Stepping up a gear in 2012, the four-piece were behind one of the releases of the year in their acclaimed ‘Fade 2 Forever’ EP. Joining them on the bill this year are Dublin rock band Kopek, who have made waves internationally, attracting plaudits from Classic Rock Magazine, Metal Hammer and Kerrang following the release of their debut album, ‘White Collar Lies’. Similarly making in-roads in the UK are We Cut Corners with their critically acclaimed debut ‘Today I Realised I Could Go Home Backwards’ recently receiving a UK release. Opening on the night are ones-to-watch Vann, who’ll hope to put an early mark on 2013 with their pulsating and melodic electro-rock.
