Laois Rock groups to combine for unforgettable gig
Live n’ Loud in Laois: The Outcast Crew & Vendetta Love Join Forces for a Special Gig
Two of Laois’s most electrifying rock bands, The Outcast Crew and Vendetta Love, are teaming up for a powerhouse night of live music at Kavanagh’s, Portlaoise, on Friday, February 28th.
This special event, Laois Live n’ Loud, will showcase both bands performing their original material, promising an unforgettable night of high-energy rock and raw, unfiltered sound.
The Outcast Crew
Blending punk, folk, and traditional Irish music, The Outcast Crew have been making waves both at home and abroad. The band is set to embark on a 24-date tour across Germany in March, with stops in major cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Dresden, and Hamburg.
Their latest album, Rovin’ Again (2024), has received widespread acclaim, ranking #7 on the London Celtic Punks’ Top 30 Albums of the Year and earning Album of the Month on the Canadian blog The Mighty Decibel.
Vendetta Love
A hard-hitting force in grunge and hard rock, Vendetta Love fuses the anthemic, brooding darkness of Seattle’s grunge scene with the raw energy of LA’s Sunset Strip.
Since 2021, the band has released multiple EPs and singles, building a reputation for explosive live performances. They’ve shared the stage with acts like Airbourne and Poets of the Fall, rocked UK venues in 2024, and wrapped up the summer with headline shows in Whelan’s, Dublin, and Voodoo, Belfast. With new singles and more Irish dates in the pipeline, their momentum shows no signs of slowing.
