Republic of Loose @ The Academy 11/04/08

11th April saw Republic of Loose play their second gig of their four dates in the Academy. The venue was stuffed, literally wall to wall with people. Support on the night was provided by Dirty Epics and The Millionaire Boyz. The Epics played a ballsy set and the boyx were a mixture of hip hop and rap.

The Loose have released their excellent new single, "I Like Music" from their forthcoming album, 'Vol IV Johnny Pyro and the Dance of Evil'. The album is due for release on the 2nd May.

Really enjoyed shooting this band, plenty of guys to choose from! They played a great set, featuring songs from "Aaagh! and their new album.

For the encore they were joined by the opera singer, Judith Mok for two tracks and then Damien Dempsey joined the Loose for two numbers.
