A BROTHERHOOD of raw power and huge riffs is how a band performing in Reading later this month are described.

The Virginmarys – drummer Danny Dolan and guitarist/vocalist Ally Dickat – have played with Queens Of The Stoneage, championed by Slash and collaborated on stage with Frank Turner, goes a little way to showing the diverse appeal of their music.

After releasing three critically acclaimed albums playing as a trio, Ally and Danny have decided to take on the next phase of the band as a power duo and their appearance at The Face Bar on Sunday, October 16, will be Reading’s first chance to see them in this incarnation.

Since their formation in 2013, they’ve been described as the buzz band of SXSW, received praise from Rolling Stone and USA Today, and performed on the main stage of Reading Festival.

Club Velocity and New Mind are teaming up to present the gig, which starts at 7.30pm.

Support will come from Anchor Lane and Pink Diamond Revue.
