EFTERKLANG!!

Efterklang fully deserve the upper case and the !!’s. As a live band anyway. I went to see them in Whelans last year having been introduced to their music only a few months before (found them on myspace and liked the name) and walked away in a state of shock. No-one’s rantings and ravings about their live show before-hand could have prepared me for how good they were on the night. No-one…
It being my favourite gig of last year (with the exception of ATP vs the Fans) I was dubious as to whether or not I should/would go to the Button Factory performance, lest it completely and utterly ruin my memories of the ‘klang. Oh, how wrong was I. I nearly went to see them in Cork on Sunday but the exhaustion from a weekend of gigs and overtime crept up on me.

Here’s hoping a live DVD is on the way. My new Efterklang vinyl should be arriving here any day to complete my collection but a live DVD would be fantastic.

Anyhoo, I took a few shots. Stuck in one spot, I was pretty limited as to who I could shoot though (especially with a certain tall ‘cellis’ from a certain ‘halves’ band looming in front of me) but these ones turned out alright. There is one more apart from this but I’ll stick it up soon as it’s out of camera limbo. To wrap things up: Go and see these guys next time they play though. You most certainly will not be disappointed.

Go to their myspace at myspace.com/efterklang to download the live version of their new song ‘Mirror Mirror’.
Check out their video for Illuminant as well (slightly freaky) and also the video for their new single ‘Caravan’ from Parades.
