Gama Bomb announce hometown shows


Gama Bomb Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB are sure to please their home fans with the confirmation of their first ever Irish tour.

GAMA BOMB will be taking Liverpool thrashers and labelmates SSS on a run of shows in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland this April.

GAMA BOMB frontman Philly Byrne comments:

"When we're busy gigging and recording everywhere else it's been easy to neglect where we come from, so we're finally going to give our patient Irish fans a chance to see us live without getting on a plane! We talked about having SSS on an Irish tour for a long time, so I'm delighted that it's finally happening. No joke, I think we're going to have a hilarious time with them."

"We haven't gigged in the UK since the album was released, so this tour will show us what sort of an impact giving the album away for free has made. We predict it'll be a riot.
