In Photos: Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500 @ The Workman's Club, Dublin (11.02.11)

Dublin-based promoters Harmonic have come tearing out of the blocks in 2011, and it now feels like hardly a day goes by without them pulling another must-see show out of the hat for Irish gig-goers to look forward to. As if to prove the point, last Friday night saw back-to-back Harmonic gigs at the city's Workman's Club venue. The first of these featured alternative rock royalty in the shape of Dean Wareham, who was in town to perform the songs of his former band, slowcore legends Galaxie 500. A packed house looked on as Wareham and bandmates (including wife Britta Phillips) turned the clock back twenty years with classics like 'Tugboat' and 'Decomposing Trees'. Mark Earley racked up some overtime by covering both gigs - click below to view a slideshow of Mr. Wareham and co. in action.
