REVIEW: LITTLE GREEN CARS ☆☆☆☆☆

Venue: The Pavilion, Cork, Ireland.

Little Green Cars are an indie rock band from (our very own) Dublin. Following the release of their first and ragingly successful album 'Absolute Zero' in 2013, they seem to be selling out pretty much every Irish date they announce.

With support from Gypsies on the Autobahn, who- despite the dodgey Dodgey DODGEY haircuts- had all elements required to make a decent alternative indie band. Perhaps dodgey haircuts are also included in those set requirements. They're a mishmash between Villagers and Two Door Cinema Club, and yano what else? I kinda like 'um.

Little Green Cars graced the stage not long after. Their music is totally diverse, fronted by Faye O'Rourke and Stevie Appleby. Songs alternate between leading man and woman, but quality certainly doesn't vary. With magical diversity accompanying each tune, I could have listened to their set for hours. Five part harmonies accompanied each melody, with personality shining through each member of the band. There was a tangible friendship in the group, which made their performance all the more mesmerizing.

They gave me goosebumps.




With this leg of the tour finished, they have already announced dates across Ireland in March. It's not too late to add another pair of tickets to your Santa list, is it?

  1. I would have love to have seen LGC! Their songs are incredible.
    I'm very jealous, maybe next time.
    Although I don't think March is the greatest of timing. You know there's that thing coming up in June.... what's it called again....? Ah yes, the LEAVING CERT!!!
    The night spent studying instead of at a concert could be the difference between and A and B.
    Tut tut Jess!
