Dark Rebellion
American alt-rock icon and one of the most famous groups from the middle of the 1990s, the legendary “Garbage”, will appear at the A2 Green Concert club on the 15th November. And although last year they celebrated their 20th anniversary, and although their lead vocalist Shirley Manson has had a big birthday already this year, the group will still put off their signature cast of dark rebellion that sits in contrast with their positive-spirited pop. June 2016 saw the release of their new album “Strange Little Birds”, the band’s sixth. Its title and subject matter harken back to an image in a fan letter they once received, as well as to music that the group’s members listened to in childhood. In Shirley Manson’s words, the album’s composition draws together a generally dark feeling and, unlike any other, is the album which comes closest to the spirit of the band’s first. The concert at A2 Green Concert will showcase pieces from the new album as well as hits that have, like the band itself, stood the test of time.
