PREVIEW: The Dead Heroes Club @ The Playhouse
The Dead Heroes Club will make a welcome return to their hometown this month by rocking it up at the Playhouse.
The progressive rock band have a reputation for powerful live shows and have gained a following worldwide. The band are made up of Liam Campbell on lead vocals, Mickey Gallagher on drums Wilson Graham on Bass, Gerry McGerigle on electric guitar and finally, Chris Norby on keyboards.
Their most recent album’ Everything is Connected’ has earned rave reviews and airplay throughout the world, while the band have been hailed as Ireland’s only prog rock band. As Classic Rock magazine put it: “Ireland has a progressive rock band of its own and one to be mentioned in the same breath as modern proggers Spock’s Beard, The Flower Kings, Glass Hammer and Porcupine Tree”. High praise indeed, and totally justified.
Now with three critically acclaimed studio albums under their belt, the others being the self titled ‘Dead Heroes Club’ which was released in 2004 and ‘Time of Shadow’ in 2009, the DHC have an impressive back catalogue.
With a philosophy of ‘allowing the songwriting to lead the music’ the Dead Heroes Club stay true to their prog rock roots while xxxx in harmony with their superb lyrics.
>>The Dead Heroes Club will be performing at the Playhouse on Friday 10th July at 8pm, with tickets costing £10.
