Featuring Babyshambles drummer Adam Adam Ficek in singer songwriting mode, Roses Kings Castles are an altogether more refined affair, recalling the pastoral sounds of Belle & Sebastian and Syd Barrett. They play Whelans this Thursday night, tickets €12.00 plus booking fee from WAV Box-Office (Lo-Call 1890 200 078), City Discs, www.tickets.ie and Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.
