It’s nostalgia all the way at Dolans this new years eve when the Reverberation Tour hits town featuring Power Of Dreams, The Sultans Of Ping and The Frank & Walters. These iconic 90’s indie bands will be playing their classics such as Power Of Dreams’ “100 Ways To Kill A Love”, The Sultans of Ping’s “Where’s Me Jumper” and The Frank & Waltrers’ “After All”. Sure to be a sell out.
