SlyDigs playing two Mayo gigs


SlyDigs are a four-piece from Warrington in the UK. They formed in 2009, and since then have been picking up a strong following and attracting the eye of some musical heavy-weights along the way. They are playing in O’Grady’s pub, Westport, this Friday – but if you miss them, you can catch them in Hotel Newport on April 27.
Their debut single ‘Electric Love’ is bursting with energy and spirit, and like the rest of their music, is full of excitement and catchy choruses – so much so that it was voted “one of the five tracks you must listen to this week” by NME. The song was also featured on Channel 4’s  ‘Fresh Meat’ and Channel 5 using it to promote up and coming programmes
A frenzy of passion and thrills, the band’s sound is uniquely British. While contemporary it recalls early ’90s Manchester and the history of UK rock ’n’ roll all at the same time.
So far SlyDigs have supported the likes of New York Dolls, The Fall, and Pete Doherty and have played at Haigh Fest, Southport Rocks Festival and Exmouth Festival. They have also toured Ireland (twice), one year opening the Westport Music Festival.
SlyDigs are currently part of a musical collaboration with Tricky and Paul Weller, and later this year they are embarking on a European tour.

SlyDigs are playing in O’Grady’s pub, Westport, on Friday, April 13, and in Hotel Newport on Friday, April 27.
