Gilla Band (fka Girl Band) are a 4 piece noise rock band from Dublin, Ireland. Their sophomore album “The Talkies” will be released through Rough Trade Records on September 27th, 2019. This is the follow up to their debut album “Holding Hands with Jamie” that came out four years ago almost to the day. “The Talkies” was recorded in November 2018 at Ballintubbert House, Ireland, a stately home on the outskirts of Dublin. The alien construction of Ballintubbert and its corridors help to navigate Gilla Band’s cataclysmic sound within a world of its own. Their live show has been described by The Guardian as feeling “genuinely dangerous, like one last rave before the apocalypse, and as perfect an expression of rock’n’roll’s essential auto-destructive impulse as this writer’s ever heard”.
