Captain America’s Live – Deuce, a Rory Gallagher tribute band

3/21/2013 – Gig at Captain America’s Live in Blanchardstown, Dublin Ireland. Featuring 4 Bands. Last one up in the evening lineup – is Deuce, a Rory Gallagher Tribute band.

I have to admit that I didn’t have a clue who Rory Gallagher was until after the show, and have since been enjoying a bit of his music. The group Deuce, however, are very good – and prompted me to go look up the music that they were doing in tribute to him. Deuce are a 3 piece blues rock style band. This was their first ever live gig, and after the other 3 bands, it was hard to know quite what to expect when I heard that bit of information. They’re toe-tappingly good, and had several people up and dancing in front of the band. There’s also a little surprise in the show – that the lead singer switches from playing a guitar to playing an electric banjo. I am looking forward to seeing them play later on this week – and am sure that the rest of the crowd will enjoy them just as much.

Sadly, they don’t have a facebook link yet, but hopefully they’ll have one soon. In the meantime, you can checkout more of my photos here in my flickr set.

Captain America’s Live – Blue Sun

3/21/2013 – Gig at Captain America’s Live in Blanchardstown, Dublin Ireland. Featuring 4 Bands. Third up in the evening lineup – Blue Sun.

Blue Sun is a 4 piece classic rock / blues influenced band featuring the lively lead singer, Brew.

This evening at Captain America’s, they got the audience going, provided a few laughs, and even got a few dancers out on the floor. Brew is a hard one to photograph – he’s quite the showman – dancing on stage, getting everyone clapping, and even calling out to the bartender.

There’s also a pair of guitarists and a drummer who do their best to keep up and sing backup vocals. While they’re difficult to photograph because of how much they move on stage, they’re fun, entertaining, and get the crowd fully engaged.

For more on the Blue Sun band, please check out their facebook page here for upcoming gigs.

As always, feel free to check out more of the photos from the evening in my flickr set here.

Captain America’s Live – Tanks General

3/21/2013 – Gig at Captain America’s Live in Blanchardstown, Dublin Ireland.

Featuring 4 Bands. Second up –

T’anks General.

Previously consisting of 3 guys, they have now added a second guitarist as a 4th band member. Rock and bluesy sound, only their own stuff. I’ve seen them several times, and each time they get better. The 4th band mate was ill this evening, but also saw them over at the Czech Inn the next night (photos coming soon).
