In Photos: Jape @ The Odessa Club, Dublin (03.02.11)

There was a vicious gale ripping through Dublin city centre last night, so the cozy top floor of The Odessa Club was an ideal spot for Jape's first gig of the new year. Richie Egan and band were playing as part of the venue's weekly Live at Odessa sessions series, and the gig gave the Dubliner a chance to road-test a batch of new tunes. Despite some of them having only been birthed in recent days/weeks (including this one), they slotted in seamlessly for the most part alongside familiar crowd-pleasers like 'Strike Me Down', 'Floating' and 'I Was A Man'. Luckily, Mark Earley's camera is a fully paid-up Odessa Club member, so he was able to take a few close-up shots of the band in action. Check 'em out below:
