Sleep Thieves
REMY will be hitting up as much of the Dublin Quays Festival as possible over the course of the weekend, and it's a healthy sign that some tough decisions and good planning will be required in advance! Bands that ain't on the above playlist but that I'm really interested in catching also are My Sweet Beloved, Gabriel Paschal Blake, Girlfriend & The Murder Capital. Of the other acts that I haven't previously seen live, I'm really liking the sound of The Stasi a lot (and the name, hope they don't make us sit on our hands whilst interrogating us), and I've heard great things about PowPig, Gemma Bradley and Megan Nic Ruairí as well.
