Veteran Dublin band Sack end a very busy year with a Christmas show at Whelan's, Dublin on Friday 23 December.

Last year the band signed with UK-based indie label Dimple Discs (home to Cathal Coughlan, Eileen Gogan, Damian O’Neill and the Monotones) and released What A Way To Live, their first single in 20 years.

They also released the 25th anniversary reissue edition of their 1997 album Butterfly Effect, followed by sold-out shows and festival appearances including slots at Electric Picnic, All Together Now, and most recently the Shiiine On Festival in Minehead, UK.

The band are currently in the studio working on a new album of new material, which will be first since 2001’s Adventura Majestica and it is scheduled for release next year.

Pre-pandemic, Sack played the Jerry Fish stage at Electric Picnic, the Night for Aware gig in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre and opened for High Llamas/Microdisney’s Sean O’Hagan at The Grand Social.
