The Pacifics
A band who caught our eye a while back while playing support to Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reid, The Pacific have their debut LP ‘Pacifically’ on Saturday 11th August.
To celebrate this release they will play a launch show with support from Sisters (UK), The #1s, Womens Murder Club & Cravingz. The gig will be in Sweeneys Bar on Dame St and admission is just €5. Doors are at 9pm.
Do check them out, we think you’ll like them, even if just for their smart dress sense.

A new band breaking through are Panama from Dublin who released their debut single Safe Inside a few days ago.
The track is now available as a FREE download from their Bandcamp. In June just gone, they filmed an acoustic live show in front of an intimate audience which will be broadcast later in the year. They are working on a full album at the moment and if you want to see these guys live you can catch them performing alongside good friends of GP’s, Kodaline in The Academy 2 on Friday 3rd August.
