If you're one of the handful of people in this country who has yet to see The Strypes play live you've been afforded another couple of chances to witness their rhythm n' blues grooves when the lads play two dates at The Academy in Dublin next 11th and 12th of April.

The show on the 11th will be an all ages show, meaning that everyone can buy booze - with the probable exception of the band themselves, while the 12th will be an all ages show. The Hot Sprockets have been tapped for the first support slot, Children of the Sun the second.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale this Friday 10th January, priced at €25.

The Strypes are nominated for The Erics for Best Irish Band and Best Irish Album. Place your votes here!
