Dark Streets, a Pogues-inspired tribute band, distinguishes itself by performing in authentic accents and incorporating an Americana roots style. Founded by Caitlin Oliver-Gans and Nate Palan, the band celebrates Shane MacGowan's legacy, featuring iconic songs like 'Dirty Old Town' and 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God'. Their diverse setlist includes unexpected covers from bands such as Iron Maiden and Talking Heads. Celebrating their third anniversary at Paddy Reilly's Music Bar, Palan reflects on the triumphs and challenges faced since their debut during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lion's share of their playlist comes from the pen of the late, lamented Shane MacGowan, and you can pretty much count on hearing Dirty Old Town, If I Should Fall From Grace With God and Body of an American in every show.
Dark Streets has a sound that leans towards an Americana roots style, which allows them to seamlessly integrate their sometimes off-the-wall choices of non-Pogues tunes into a set.
