Celebrate good times with Tieranniesaur

 TIERANNIESAUR will play a free show in Róisín Dubh this Saturday, March 10, as well as a free all-ages show on Sunday at 2pm.

The band is part of Dublin DIY music collective Popical Island which enjoyed a great 2011 with several excellent releases, including Land Lovers, Squarehead and Patrick Kelleher, Yeh Deadlies and Big Monster Love.

Tieranniesaur’s self-titled Choice Music Prize nominated debut album was written and recorded at home by husband and wife Annie and Pádraig. The album has received gushing praise since its release in July 2011 and has topped many critics’ end-of-year polls.

Tieranniesaur is now a fearsome live band of seven and the extra hands have helped to secure a growing reputation for exciting shows with an effervescent party atmosphere. Tieranniesaur is unlike anything else on the Dublin indie scene; a genre-straddling troupe that’s part old school Disco, part Afro-Pop and part New-Wave.

Highlights from the band’s set include the melancholic Euro Disco of In the Sargasso, which, like all of Tieranniesaur’s songs, focuses on the idea of friendships old and new. These are songs that celebrate the good times, while never losing sight of the ultimately ephemeral nature of all relationships.
