Caught Live: Twin Sister + Holiday Shores @ The Grand Social, Dublin (12.11.11)

Domino-signed Long Islanders Twin Sister made good use of The Grand Social's disco ball recently with a slinky, genre-hopping set that took in everything from literate, danceable funk (viz. recent single 'Bad Street') to something resembling a Tex-Mex Stereolab ('Spain'). Which is a very good thing, by the way. The band's debut LP, In Heaven, looks likely to pop up in many end-of-year lists, and these guys certainly appear to have the live bite to go with their studio bark.

With similarly adventurous Tallahassee natives Holiday Shores opening proceedings, it made for an interesting and fun night down by The Ha'penny Bridge. Click below to view a slideshow of Colm Kelly's photos featuring both bands in action.
