Late Night Punk Craic with... KIMBERLY STEAKS, NO MATTER & BAR TAPE THE GRAND SOCIAL FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH DOORS 10PM (LATE SHOW) GENERAL ADMISSION €8 + BOOKING FEE TICKETS AT DOORS €10 THE KIMBERLY STEAKS - Punk rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. They released their first full-length album To Live and Die in West Central Scotland in 2014. A short, fast, catchy punk album with lyrics about dead-end jobs, video games and football coupons, it saw them tour the UK and Europe, and was followed up by 2019’s Confessions of a Justified Cynic. 2023 saw The Kimberly Steaks release their third album, Big Noise. Written during lockdown and entirely recorded and produced by the band themselves, the album shows off the bands poppier tendencies, retaining their love for early-90s Lookout! Records-style punk rock, drawing comparisons to bands like Sicko, The Mr. T Experience and early Green Day. https://www.facebook.com/thekimberlysteaks https://thekimberlysteaks.bandcamp.com/album/big-noise NO MATTER - are a fast-paced, energetic pop punk band, mixing skate and melodic punk rock with catchy melodies and alternating main vocalists, hailing from various locations across Northern Ireland.
