Fibbers – Deuce – Rory Gallagher Tribute

3.28.2013 – The Thursday before Good Friday, here in Ireland. That night I went to Fibber Magees (aka ‘old’ Fibbers) on Parnell St here in Dublin, Ireland to watch an Evening of Rock & Roll bands, with the final band being a Rory Gallagher Tribute. It was a fun evening – with 3 Euro drinks, a good crowd (Friday being a day off for many, despite the ban on alcohol hitting at Midnight) and lots of great music.

The last band of the night was Deuce, a Rory Gallagher tribute. Since last I saw them, they’ve gotten some positive reviews, and the number of gigs here in Ireland has increased. They’re working on their website, and have finally added a Facebook page. Rumor has it that they may even be playing a festival or two sometime this year. I’d say they’ve quite exploded onto the Dublin Music scene. Tonight’s gig was much the same as their first gig over at Captain America’s Live, only they seem to have worked out some of the little kinks in their stage performance since the first gig. I think I like these guys more with each performance, and am looking forward to watching them continue to develop as time goes on.

Fibbers – Taibhse

The 4th Band in the line up is an Irish Metal band, Taibhse. Taibhse (pronounced Thai-she) is Irish Galic for ghost or phantom. The band is 4 pieces and while not as heavy as Specter, they are still pretty hard, but better able to be listened to. They sing songs that are based in legends and have a kind of Goth Metal / Norse / Finland metal feel to their sound.

Fibbers – Specter

The third band of the night was Specter. To say the least, after the first two bands, they were a bit of a shock, as we went from some Bluesy Jazz and some Indie Reggae sound to some seriously hard Metal in a matter of minutes. Because of the change over in the style, it was interesting to watch the crowd change from the blues / rock fans to the metal fans in a matter of minutes. Specter is made up of Noel Duignan – Vocals, Mark Lennon – Guitars, Dan O’ Neill – Guitars, Dylan Magner – Bass, Rana Rassouli – Drums. While I’m not quite into this type of music, the crowd was enjoying themselves very much, and there are many compliments on a great gig. They were fun to watch – and so was the crowd – there was lots of thrashing about and nodding, and headbanging as the band performed their new single unwhole.
