Girls Names - I Could Die by Slumberland Records

Sounding like Sonic Youth meeting The Chantays, Belfast's Girls Names have been enjoying a particularly fast elevator to stardom after releasing a record through Brooklyn's Captured Tracks to a clamour of attention back in 2010.

Firday 25th  May – Sunday 27th May
I’ll Be Your Mirror @ Alexandra Palace



Sounding like Sonic Youth meeting The Chantays, Belfast's Girls Names have been enjoying a particularly fast elevator to stardom after releasing a record through Brooklyn's Captured Tracks to a clamour of attention back in 2010. Curated by Mogwai and featuring Slayer, The Afghan Whigs, Archers of Loaf and Sleep on the bill, this is the best thing to happen to Ally Pally since they stopped doing the fireworks.
