SUMMARY:Foggy Notions presents Prostitute
DESCRIPTION:Due to phenomenal demand Prostitute’s Irish Debut has been upgraded to Workman’s Club on Monday 24th August. All existing tickets remain valid and final tickets on sale now. \nFormed in 2020 in Dearborn\, Michigan\, Prostitute is an experimental post-punk and Arab rock band. Born out of the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown\, the band’s debut album\, Attempted Martyr\, was written in the midst of global and personal turmoil\, capturing the zeitgeist of a world unraveling. A loose concept record\, it chronicles the rise and fall of a doomed zealot whose pursuit of holy vengeance spirals into a psychotic orgy of violence\, greed\, and lust. \nThe band was initially formed by Moe Kazra who enlisted childhood friends Andrew Kaster and Dylan Zaranski\, with Ross Babinski and Bret Wall later completing the lineup. Together\, they self-funded the album\, working with legendary engineer Chris Koltay to shape a sound that’s both abrasive and hypnotic—an unrelenting blend of warped guitars\, primitive basslines\, frenzied drumming\, and corrosive synthesizers\, interwoven with samples from diverse cultures\, ranging from African to Middle Eastern and East Asian influences. \nTracks like “All Hail” (inspired by the 1977 Hanafi Siege of Washington D.C.) immerses listeners in a volatile\, hostage-like environment. “Judge” channels Milton’s Satan in a chilling rallying cry\, while “Body Meat” grapples with religious desperation and the tenuous boundary between faith and madness. Khachab and Kaster’s lyrics have been described by Pitchfork as “disturbingly poetic” with the ability to “lacerate with image alone.” Crude sloganeering and scenes of horrific violence are juxtaposed with literary allusion and Islamic symbolism\, creating what the band calls a “theatricalization of terrorism.” Through this lens\, they examine and critique the xenophobic stereotypes targeted at Arabs\, distorting them into grotesque caricatures. \nOver the past four years\, Prostitute has established a reputation for their punishing\, high-energy performances. The band’s live shows\, described as “dangerous” and “volatile”\, finds Moe delivering politically charged sermons atop a deafening bacchanal of sound. In 2023\, Prostitute performed at the re-opening of the iconic UFO Bar in Detroit\, followed by a series of benefit concerts for Palestine\, Lebanon\, and Sudan. These performances solidified their growing presence\, leading to invites to play at No Rest Fest and New Colossus Festival. \nAs Prostitute continues work on their sophomore album\, they are delving deeper into electronic and Arabic dance influences\, drawing inspiration from the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Their sound continues to evolve\, with new tracks incorporating dabke rhythms\, Arabesque melodicism\, and industrial synth textures\, all while retaining the same anarchic energy that defines their unique sound.

SUMMARY:María José Llergo
DESCRIPTION:live tonite presents from Spain flamenco artist María José Llergo debut show in Ireland on 19 September 2026 at The Grand Social from 8 PM \n\n\n\n\nBorn in Pozoblanco\, a small town in rural Córdoba\, María José Llergo has grown into one of the most compelling figures in contemporary flamenco. Her sound draws from the tradition’s deepest roots\, particularly cante jondo \, while weaving in R&B and electronic production. \nHer debut EP\, Sanación (2020)\, established her as an artist with a clear point of view. Themes of identity\, cultural memory\, and injustice ran through the record\, underpinned by melismatic vocals and atmospheric production rooted in Romani cultural consciousness. \nThe full-length Ultrabelleza followed in 2023 to widespread critical acclaim. Rolling Stone included it among the 50 best Spanish-language albums of the year\, while The New York Times praised her unapologetic commitment to her Andalusian heritage. \nHer profile has grown steadily off the back of the music too. A Loewe campaign alongside Rossy de Palma in 2022 marked a cultural milestone\, and two A Colors Show sessions — La Luz and Tu Piel — extended her reach internationally. Earlier this year\, her Tiny Desk Concert surpassed 388\,000 views within two months of release. \nNow she’s bringing it all to Ireland for the first time. Tickets on sale now\, don’t miss out! \n+18 show. Refunds available only in the event of postponement or cancellation.

SUMMARY:Kiss Facility
DESCRIPTION:Kiss Facility is the multidisciplinary duo of Mayah Alkhateri and Salvador Navarette\, who have been working across sound\, image\, and performance since their first encounter. Their practice is rooted in spiritual enquiry\, drawing on themes of psychic perception\, ritual protection\, intimacy and the afterlife as a force of future destiny. Through symbolism and real-life emotion\, Kiss Facility pushes artistic boundaries whilst examining identity as a site of self-transformation. \nSonically\, the project sits at the margins of modern shoegaze\, built on thick guitars\, submerged vocal poetry\, and compressed emotion. The duo adapts the genre’s familiar language and redirects it through Arabic lyricism\, private mythologies\, and inward worlds rarely foregrounded in alternative music. Their upcoming album\, KHAZNA (meaning safe\, vault\, or treasury) refers to what is kept hidden. Its themes unfold through layered vocals and unexpected sound\, holding vulnerable subjects such as love\, liberation\, and lived experience without spectacle or declaration. \nThe album invites listening as an act of uncovering\, reaching full-circle through the themes of exploration. Created by two people who live and work together in the comfort of their home\, KHAZNA feels shared rather than performed. Ready to be unraveled publicly\, the album arrives in March via ambient tweets\, alongside the announcement of Kiss Facility’s debut European tour and an album listening session.

SUMMARY:Blanco White
DESCRIPTION:Blanco White is the solo project of Londoner Josh Edwards. After immersing himself in the study of flamenco guitar in Cádiz\, Spain\, and the charango (a traditional Andean instrument) in Sucre\, Bolivia\, Edwards began crafting a sound that bridges the gap between Latin American influences and his English roots. \nSince the project’s inception in 2014\, Blanco White has evolved from the haunting acoustic intimacy of 2016’s The Wind Rose EP to the expansive\, self-produced soundscapes of his debut album\, On The Other Side (2020). His music has captivated millions globally\, leading to high-profile support slots with icons such as Jose Gonzalez and Gregory Alan Isakov\, as well as sold-out headline tours across Europe and the United States. This highly anticipated show at 3Olympia promises to be an evocative evening of world-class musicianship. \nBlanco White is the brainchild of Josh Edwards. Drawing inspiration from his time in Spain and Bolivia\, Edwards creates atmospheric\, folk-infused music that utilizes the charango and classical guitar. With a discography spanning several acclaimed EPs and the 2020 album On The Other Side\, he has established himself as one of the most unique voices in modern indie-folk.

SUMMARY:Elba Ramalho
DESCRIPTION:Winner of two Latin Grammy Awards and recipient of the Brazilian Music Award on 16 occasions\, Elba has remained\, with remarkable consistency\, one of Brazil’s greatest singers for the past 40 years. She has been a silver bird\, a flower\, a fruit\, and even a landscape. She set the mix ablaze\, led the ciranda\, arranged the balaio\, and has always left everything just the way we like it.\nElba does not sing merely for the sake of singing; she sings to communicate: to tell stories\, to evoke places\, to explain people\, and to reveal a portrait of some of Brazil’s most beautiful sonic landscapes.\nA true representative of Northeastern Brazilian rhythms\, Elba became a singer through Chico Buarque and had the privilege of sharing her journey with Luiz Gonzaga\, Jackson do Pandeiro\, and Dominguinhos.
