R.S.A.G. CONFIRMED AS SPECIAL GUEST FOR JUNIOR BOYS ACADEMY DATE

Following a sold out May Bank Holiday weekend show at Whelan’s, R.S.A.G. has been confirmed as special guest for Junior Boys Academy show on Sunday 7 June. Tickets for the show are priced €17.50 incl. booking fee and are on sale now at all usual Ticketmaster outlets.

R.S.A.G. is a multi-instrumentalist who records, performs and produces all his own material. Live on stage, R.S.A.G. plays drums / percussion and sings. Sharing the stage with a virtual band which is projected on a screen behind him, R.S.A.G.’s live shows are a unique experience. Think of Joy Division, Talking Heads, Fela Kuti, New York rockers ESG with the visual impact of Gorillaz. But rather than the use of animation, he aspires to a sort of shadowplay; a show of silhouettes of himself, which he utilises on disc. This is so much more than just music, it is a friendly, full-sensory virus with no known cure.

The Canadian electro pop duo, Junior Boys, re-emerged in 2006 with a pop statement that is still being heralded as one of the albums of that year. So This Is Goodbye is a work that exhibits a confident mix of focus, clarity and ambition. Leaving behind the dense beats of Last Exit, songs such as the upbeat single “in the Morning” and their cover of Frank Sinatras “When no one cares” draw upon their love of the classic pop of artists like Bryan Ferry and David Sylvian. They return with a new album, Begone Dull Care, on May 15^th.

This date is a rescheduled show from the previously postponed gig in March. Tickets purchased for the original show will be valid for this date.

Junior Boys live at The Academy on Sunday 7 June. Tickets are on sale now at all usual Ticketmaster outlets priced €17.50 incl. booking fee.
