The Jeffrey Lewis Band will play in the Róisín Dubh on Thursday 7 July at 9pm.

Jeffrey Lewis was raised in New York City and is a maker of comic books, tragic-comic folk narratives, and lysergic garage rock.

With brother Jack on bass and David Beauchamp on drums, the Jeffrey Lewis Band mixes 60s acoustic psychedelia with the experimental art-punk. Live shows also incorporate 'low budget videos', Jeff's large illustrations displayed to accompany certain songs. 



The Jeffrey Lewis Band has toured the US, UK and Europe, sharing bills with Devendra Banhart, Thurston Moore, the Fall, Beth Orton, Frank Black, the Fiery Furnaces, Daniel Johnston, Scout Niblett, the Mountain Goats, Regina Spektor, Adam Green, Kimya Dawson, Cornershop, the Cribs, Danielson, Dr Dog and others. 



The last album release, Jeffrey and Jack Lewis: City and Eastern Songs, was produced by Kramer (Galaxie 500, Butthole Surfers, Low, Daniel Johnston, etc) and was selected as one of 2006's best albums in Time Out New York, the Boston Globe, CMJ Monthly and elsewhere.

Tickets, €10 are available from the Róisín Dubh on Dominick Street.
