Influenced by Chicago  blues styles, rock and funk, ‘The Urbs’ perform a refreshing blend of grooving blues music that really gets you moving. In fact, it would be rude not to. 

“These guys are something special in a live setting. For the esoteric blues aficianado they are the proverbial manna from heaven. If you’re not au fait with this particular genre at all, or you’re skirting around the periphery with some doubt, they make your preconceptions vanish with their lively blast of sonic sunshine that makes you want to dance, or more realistically, actually forces you to! It’s literally infectious. Coupled with the band’s sharp sense of humour, slick musicianship and their propensity for giving away free ‘stuff’ at their gigs, T-shirts, CDs etc, they truly are one of Dublin’s ‘Best Kept Secrets.’ Don’t miss it: Dance the night away….”10/10 RPS

The Moje  pays homage to the original Chicago blues pioneers such as Little Walter, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Wiliamson, Junior Wells, etc…

“The stompin’ blues groove that makes ya booty move…”

 

“I was at a gig in Skerries on my birthday and the lads had me up on stage in front of everyone playing percussion and singing! Don’t ask me what I was singing! They gave me a t-shirt too! One of the best nights I’ve ever had, great birthday, great band!” JT

Unfortunately, this week’s gig in Oil Can’s has been cancelled at short notice due to circumstances beyond our control. Despite what any other advertisements may say to the contrary, Saturday 11th February is cancelled. Apologies. The following week is also off. It’s looking like we may not be back there for quite some time…

As always, The Moje will keep you informed both here and on the Facebook page as to what’s happening as and when we know it. Again, apologies for any inconvenience. There may be something much more exciting happening shortly, watch this space……
