Info
We present the noise-rock outfit Gilla Band as part of our October In the Round series at ICA Bookstore on 8 October 2026 at 6:30pm.
For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet — vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner — have been redefining what you could loosely call rock music in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way.
The band perfected a vision that was not quite post-punk, was not quite noise-rock, was not quite anything besides an idiosyncratic hybrid that could only come from the four of them. Giraffe is their new offering.
Giraffe is the first new music from Gilla Band in nearly four years. This follows their 3rd album Most Normal, which Pitchfork described in a review as “a masterpiece of panic and deconstruction”. Live, The Guardian described the band’s set as feeling “genuinely dangerous, like one last rave before the apocalypse, and as perfect an expression of rock’n’roll’s essential auto-destructive impulse as this writer’s ever heard”.
