Who: Mark Austin, Tom Cosgrave, Shane Kinsella
Where: Dublin, IRE
When: ND at 501 Studios, March 15th. 5pm sharp.
Why: Described by Live4ever as “a homage to the rock’n’roll greats, but totally their own at the same time, an underground classic debut from one of Ireland’s loudest”, The Minutes’ debut record ‘Marcata’ brimmed with more than enough energy to punch a hole straight through that underground, with the Dublin trio now gazing into the light of genuine mainstream recognition. A sound which sits somewhere in between the soaring euphoria of Elbow and the base-level, gritty indie of Glasvegas makes The Minutes one of this year’s must-see acts at SXSW.
