DELHI 2 DUBLIN
at Cedar Cultural Center
Thursday 10/16/14, 7pm
$15 / $18 (door): thecedar.org

Canadian Delhi 2 Dublin will once again stop by Minneapolis' Cedar Cultural Center this Thursday, October 16th. Like their previous appearance, it seems like the band does not have an opener.

Just to give you a background on the band, their music cannot really be classify under any one sound. You can call it a fusion of electronica, bhangra beats and Celtic fiddle - hence their name Delhi (India) to Dublin (Ireland). Needless to say, it's an interesting mix of music genre, if you ever get a chance to see them live for yourself.

They recorded LIVE, a live album, on July 2014 in their hometown in Vancouver to celebrate their 8th year as a band.
