Gilla Band release 10 year Anniversary re-issue of first EP “The Early Years”
Out Now
+ Announce October Irish Tour
Gilla Band Ireland’s favourite Avant-punk quartet has re-issued The Early Years EP, a collection of out of print 7” singles and covers originally released on Any Other City Records and The Quarter Inch Collective and then on Rough Trade Records in 2015. The re-issue features new artwork based on the original colour blocks plus The Cha Cha Cha has now been remastered alongside the rest of the tracks and is ready for the dancefloor once again.
Fan fave (and live setlist staple) featured on the collection is an eight-minute cover of post-dubstep mastermind Blawan’s absurdist banger and demented earworm “Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage” that, simply put, is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before or since.
The 12” is on sale now from the webstore and shops.
Alongside the re-issue the band have announced a 7 date Irish tour playing some venues they’ve never played before. Tickets on sale on Friday, see dates below.
