The Murder Capital are the second headliners announced for 2023’s Fall Right Into Place, where they will play alongside other exciting acts like the Pillow Queens. They will play Sunday September 17 at Claregalway Castle, just outside Galway city.
Presented by record label, music agency and all-round music wrangler Strange Brew, this will be the third year of Fall Right Into Place, a festival that The Irish Times called “a masterclass in smart Irish music curation”.
Dublin post-punks The Murder Capital released their much-anticipated second album Gigi's Recovery in January via Human Season. The John Congleton-produced new LP follows the Irish band’s celebrated 2019 debut album, When I Have Fears, which reached a Top 20 chart position in the UK, a #2 position in Ireland, and featured in media end of year lists internationally, with The Guardian calling it “an outstanding debut from a great new band who play it like they mean it.”
Summer 2022 saw The Murder Capital open for Pearl Jam in Hyde Park, as well as Foals and Bloc Party, and this year, they are busy playing festivals across Europe.
Gigi’s Recovery was released to widespread acclaim. NME crowned it “the first great guitar album of 2023” and complimented the band’s “journey of introspection, self-analysis, discovery and recovery, via an adventure in sound.” The Guardian praised The Murder Capital for how they “combine muscular drama and skeletal grace with a confidence that Radiohead would be proud of.”
Taking place on Saturday September 16 and Sunday September 17, the Fall Right Into Place line-up is carefully curated to reflect the Strange Brew ethos, honed over 20 years promoting concerts and artists, and features friends old and new.
