Having started life in Toronto eight years ago, Indie Week comes to Ireland to celebrate the best of independent music this May.
Launching with a free gig in Mongrel Sweeney's on Wednesday May 11th, there will then be a showcase at Belfast's Auntie Annies on May 12th, followed by two nights at Dublin's Grand Social on May 13th and 14th.
Toronto based indie band These Electric Lives are visiting especially for the occasion and will play a set on each of the festival's four nights. They are just one of the many bands showcasing their wares for Indie Week.
