In Photos: tUnE-yArDs + Thread Pulls @ The Button Factory, Dublin (12.02.12)

One of the most irrepressible live acts around right now, tUnE-yArDs last night kicked off their biggest European tour to date with a sold-out show at Dublin's Button Factory. Check out Mark Earley's shots of Merrill Garbus and her bandmates in action below. We also have a few snaps of local duo Thread Pulls, who got the night under way.

tUnE-yArDs has just announced a live date at Dublin's Vicar Street on July 15, as well as a mid-August appearance at this year's Summer Sundae Weekender in Leicester.
