A night of punchy rock in Banbridge

Pay*ola return to the town to play a special headline show as the opening date of their "Optimism Will Destroy Me" tour.

The tour will kick off promotion for their forthcoming second album, which showcases Pay*ola’s unique brand of powerful and melodic hard rock.

The album can be previewed at www.myspace.com/payolarock.

This CD is the follow-up to the band’s well-received debut album “Try Everything Twice”, and features a selection of classic hard rock tunes. There will be copies of all the band's cds available at the show. Pay*ola are no strangers to the big stage, having played with acts as varied as Audioslave, Status Quo, Thin Lizzy, Embrace, Snow Patrol, Buckcherry and Jimmy Barnes, but no matter what the venue, the show is always passionate, punchy – and loud!

A fantastic night out is promised for all lovers of live rock music.

Apart from their own brand of rock’n’roll and truly unique delivery, the band also promise to throw in a few tunes from some of their classic rock heroes – so a blast of the likes of AC/DC, Kiss, Status Quo, Aerosmith and Motorhead can be expected.

Doors open at 9pm, and local favourites The Vanda Youngs will be special guests on the night. Admission is only 5.
