Gilla Band (formerly Girl Band) are an Irish post-punk and noise rock band from Dublin formed in 2011. The line-up comprises childhood friends Dara Kiely (vocals) and Alan Duggan (guitar), with Daniel Fox (bass) and Adam Faulkner (drums).
Their career began with the 2012 single "In My Head", followed by the track "You're a Dog", which lead to them developing live followings in both Ireland and the UK, and a recording contract with Rough Trade in 2015. That year The Irish Times described them as "the most fascinating act out of these parts at present… thrilling, menacing, exciting noise".
To date they have released a series of singles and EPs, the critically acclaimed album Holding Hands with Jamie (2015) and, after a gap in 2016-7 due to health issues, the techno and glam influenced The Talkies (2019).
