Busy week of gigs in Dublin this week with the DEAF festival in full swing and current indie darlings Grizzly Bear playing the capital, but our highlights this week are the Album Launches of two hard working northside bands. Friends of the Site Blue Syndrome are launching their debut album this week with a night in The Village on Thursday and an all ages gig in Academy 2 on Friday. The other album launch is by a band we didn’t think would be producing a second album. Delorentos return from the brink will be complete this week with two nights in Whelans to celebrate the launch of their second album.
