Gilla Band brought their hard-hitting Dublin noise rock to the Lodge Room in Highland Park on Wednesday, Nov. 4, playing in support of their fourth LP, Pugnello, out now on Rough Trade. The album earned a spot in our picks for the best new albums of September, and we’d had this night circled since May, when it landed on our rundown of newly announced LA concerts worth knowing about. Finally, we got to experience them live.
The band brought a rowdy crowd and instant chaos to the room. It was packed shoulder to shoulder, and you had to squeeze through bodies just to get around. Tension built as the bass shook the walls, drowning out any chance of conversation. A mosh pit broke out right away and kept the room moving all night. Gilla Band delivered a loud, relentless and unapologetically abrasive performance.
