Finbar Hoban presents... at Bar Ritz last Saturday week was a huge success with Kneel Before Zod plus support from local bands Hotrock and Struck. The night got under way with upcoming young band Struck at 8.30pm followed by the extremely talented Hotrock at 9.30pm. There were lots of give-aways on the night before the main event which saw Kneel Before Zod take to the stage at 11pm and amaze the crowd by playing cover versions from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, Thin Lizzy, and a blistering cover version of Black Sabbaths “War Pigs” which thrilled the massive crowd.
As usual DJ Finbar Hoban finished up the proceedings with some excellent new tracks from the likes of Jape, Weezer, and the excellent CSS. According to Finbar, even though the live scene has improved in recent months there is still a need for more alternative events around the Castlebar area. But that is all about to change in the next couple of months with a series of new alternative events.
Finbar Hoban would like to thank the three excellent bands Struck, HotRock and Kneel before Zod for putting on a fine performance on the night; Tim Ryan for his support; Chris Ripingale; John Lohan; and Mulroy’s Bar. Coming soon Finbar Hoban presents Story of Hair plus very special guests Dublin comedy outfit Hoovers & Sledgehammers in which these two fantastic original bands will perform at Bar Ritz (Mulroy’s Bar ).
