This week on the blog I'm going to bring to your attention some of the many excellent new bands playing the weekend. Today I'll feature Sleep Thieves and The Long Knives.
Sleep Thieves - Sunday 16.45 Main Stage
Sleep Thieves are Sorcha, Wayne and Derek and they make really good electronic pop music. Sorcha glows as the main singer in the band while Wayne and Derek are busy swapping instruments between sets. I caught their recent headline gig in Whelans and really enjoyed their sound and as a gig they were highly entertaining!

The Long Knives have recently relocated to Drogheda and have a new spring in their step. The have been together many years but so far have released two Eps. Their latest Ep 'Cheap Wine' contains three excellent rock tunes from a great band that has two stunning vocalists.
