The excellent Girls play Dublin’s Academy on August 24. Tickets are €17.50 and go on sale this Thursday.

And, more good news, Pavement are in the country. It was going to take more than a humpy Icelandic volcano to stop ‘em, especially as they arrived by ferry per the prompter. They play Dublin’s Tripod tonight.

UPDATE: Per promoter, Pavement onstage at 9pm SHARP
