Forced to postpone their January dates in Ireland (singer Ty Bulmer was ill), NYPC finally get around to playing the capital.

You can catch them Saturday May 29 at The Button Factory, Dublin. Tickets are on sale now, priced at €22.50, from [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].

The January show was originally re-scheduled for March 13 in Tripod: obviously original tickets for this date will still be valid.

Showcasing a new album, The Optimist, and having cut ties with their former label, it's safe to say they are now shunning any 'nu-rave' labels. Hopefully the wonderfully asymmetric hairstyles will still be in place, but it may be best to leave the glowsticks at home.
