INDIE ROCK, post-rock, math-rock, experimental rock...whatever you call it, Battles play it, and few do it as well as the New York trio who today announced they will be playing Galway.
Battles - Ian Williams, John Stanier, and Dave Konopka - return to the Róisín Dubh on Monday August 15, almost eight years to the day since their last appearance at the Dominck Street venue.
The band have released three albums - Mirrored (2007 ), Gloss Drop (2011 ), and La Di Da Di (2015 ) - and their music has been described by Pitchfork as being "like a highly-saturated, highly-composed Takashi Murakami print, or a website that needed a lot of programming to make it look as minimal and usable as possible".
Tickets are available at www.roisindubh.net, the Ticket Desk at OMG Zhivago, Shop Street, and The Róisín Dubh.
