Live at The Watchtower, McHugh's, Drogheda — August 6th
Three distinctive acts from across the underground music spectrum come together for an intimate night in the unique setting of The Watchtower at McHugh's, Drogheda on August 6th.
Headlining the evening are Goodbye Viking, bringing their energetic brand of Seattle synth punk to Ireland. Blending sharp songwriting, infectious hooks, and a DIY punk spirit, their sound will appeal to fans of Bomb the Music Industry!, Joyce Manor, and Bruce Lee Band.
Joining them are Fierce Shook, an experimental punk outfit from Tullamore whose angular rhythms, unpredictable structures, and abrasive energy draw comparisons to Fugazi, NoMeansNo, and McLusky. Expect a set packed with intensity, invention, and noise.
Opening the night are Answerer, a doom-folk project based between Dublin and Drogheda. Combining heavy atmospheres, folk traditions, and cinematic dynamics, their music will resonate with listeners of Lankum, Rún, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
