We at GoldenPlec have been eagerly anticipating the new EP from 2017 Plec Picks Thumper, more than Donald Trump thinks about his next sacking. Which is a lot. Singles The Loser and Fear Of Art whetted the appetite as the tumbled, collided and thrashed their way into our consciousness. ‘Pop! Goes The Weasel’ is all that you love about Thumper but shows them gaining a more assured hand at recording. They’ve lost none of the lo-fi aesthetic that was part of Thumper’s initial appeal but at the same time, gaining a touch more clarity that enhances their songs further. Anyway, less of this babble. Feast your ears on ‘Pop! goes The Weasel’

Next week, on Friday May 19th, Thumper will launching the EP in a secret location in Dublin city centre, running buses from Custom House Quay from 7pm until late.
There is a savage line up with the superb Just Mustard and raucous Chinese Newspaper. If that’s not enough there will be DJs until late.

The gig is BYOB and tickets are €10 (limited early bird) and €12, and can be bought from here or by RSVPing to hellothumper@gmail.com.
