En Vogue down for a pre-show Early Bird
En Vogue, the sensational R&B girl group that influenced so many acts, is returning to Dublin for a show at Vicar Street this Thursday 6th April
Pop-in to Bow Lane for a pre-show Early bird before re-discovering your 90’s self which you “Don’t Let Go” of ever!
En Vogue are performing at Vicar Street this Thursday! We love a bit of nostalgia, and the 90’s are all the rage at the mo, so get your 90’s self out for a pre-show early bird in Bow Lane before the En Vogue gig in Vicar Street, which is just a short scoot up the road in a taxi.
As one of the biggest-selling girl groups ever, En Vogue defined the sound of 1990s R&B, paving the way for the likes of TLC, Destiny’s Child and SWV and influencing music today, with Little Mix and Ariana Grande in turn taking a leaf out of their book with songs encompassing empowerment and sexuality.
While NWA are responsible for curating a wave of socially aware Californian hip-hop in the early 1990s, En Vogue, mostly from Oakland, took this woke frame of mind, mixed it with rich harmonies and flooded the charts with assertive songs such as My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It), Free Your Mind and their 1993 Salt N’ Pepa collaboration Whatta Man.
Don’t Let Go has brought them unprecedented levels of success since its release in 1996. It is a song with many lives, re-entering the Irish and UK charts in 2011 following Little Mix’s performance on The X Factor, and it has a dangerous effect on people. The opening bars alone turn most people into panthers prowling the dance floor while warbling the chorus with the desperation of 1,000 exes phoning at 3.55am for a second chance.
Book in for a En Vogue pre-show Early Bird in Bow Lane then scoot off down to the show in Vicar Street, only a 6 min taxi ride away!
