8MM + Shameless/Limitless Present: ISLANDS (duo)

8MM and Shameless/Limitless are at again, this time to present: the legendary - ISLANDS (duo )
Islands were borne from the ashes of the Unicorns in 2005. Releasing their first two records with London based Rough Trade Records, Islands went to release 7 more over the next 18 years, with the latest album arriving in fall 2023.
“And That’s Why Dolphins Lost Their Legs” represents a big leap forward. With addictive hooks at every possible turn, Dolphins (the 9th record in the catalogue), stands out as quite likely the strongest and most articulate Islands album yet. Nick Thorburn and band manage to slyly tap into both the pain and the joy of living, often simultaneously, while stripping the music down to its simplest element: a strange sample rubbing up against a bouncing bassline, a snappy kick and snare firing off against a persistent, hooky guitar line.
This tour will be pared down to a duo, emphasizing and highlighting the intricacy of the songwriting and the intimacy of the vocals.
Doors: 19:00
Showtime: 20:30
