Seminal punk outfit THE FALL are set to play Dublin next month, when they’ll bring their cacophonous genius to THE BUTTON FACTORY on Thursday 19^th July.

The prolific post-punk legends are touring their 29^th studio album "Ersatz G.B."

As with any Fall record, it retains their most distinctive elements of jumbled guitars teamed with Mark E Smith’s sing-speak vocals, whilst offering a fresh take on Smith’s familiar style and subject matter.

The Fall have gone through myriad line-up changes and shifts in musical style over the years. Next month will see the current line-up of Smith (vox), David Spurr (bass), Elini Poulou (keys), Pete Greenway (guitar) and Kierion Mellings (drums) take to the Button Factory stage.

“ERSATZ G.B” – 29^TH STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE LEGENDARY THE FALL

Since their formation in 1976, The Fall have released twenty eight studio albums, and more than double that number of live albums, compilations and other packages.

"Ersatz G.B." is their 29th offering, and, as with any Fall record, retains many of their most distinctive elements whilst offering a fresh take on Mark E Smith’s familiar style and subject matter. The current line-up of Smith (vox), David Spurr (bass), Elini Poulou (keys), Pete Greenway (guitar) and Kierion Mellings (drums) are now relatively established by Fall standards, and deliver another intriguing addition to the band’s body of work here. This album contains all the trademarks of a great Fall album.

"As is customary with The Fall, Ersatz G.B. offers no easy explanations, but instead twists and excites the listener’s brain with unexpected phantom bewilderments.” -Ian Harrison (MOJO – December 2011)
