Indie Week Ireland, a weeklong nationwide tour of hotly tipped Irish and international bands battling it out for a shot at the much hyped Indie Week Toronto, comes to the Roisin Dubh this Thursday, 2 July.

The four bands on show are Walter Mitty & The Realists and Vesta Varro (both from Limerick), Canadian trio Bella Clava and American four-piece Paper Doll.

A female-fronted four piece from Brooklyn/Manhattan, described as 'Pat Benatar meets the Killers', PaperDoll gained recognition stateside with their debut album 'Ballad Nerd Pop'.

Featuring a opera-trained Virginian, a traditional Irish musician (the band's guitarist Patrick Moloney is the brother of the lead singer of Director, Michael Moloney) and a lacrosse-playing drummer, Paper Doll's incendiary live shows and nerdy rock pop are gathering them friends on both sides of the Atlantic.

Doors at 7.45pm and admission is free.
