Gigs
Michael Gira
Thursday April 5, 2012
Black Box, Belfast

Author, artist and main driving force behind recently-reformed post-punk band Swans, Michael Gira returns to Belfast this April as a solo performer in his own right. Equally as intense and darkly captivating as Swans but nowhere near as melodic as Gira’s experimental side-project Angels Of Light, the man is a genuine sight to behold all on his lonesome. Tickets are available from Black Box at a mind-bogglingly reasonable £10.00.

Stream ‘God’s Servant’ from Gira’s Songs For A Dead Dog album here:
