SUMMARY:MELATON
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1997 a group of Dublin school friends came together to form a band inspired by the music that had been soundtracking their teenage years. \nAlthough\, why Jonathan Black\, Andrew Brennan\, Declan Garvey and Anthony Mooney – who were inspired to make music by Radiohead\, Smashing Pumpkins and Jeff Buckley chose the band name ‘Purple Haze’ – remains a mystery to this day. \nShortly after forming – a much-needed change of name and lead singer occurred and Melaton was born. \nLed by singer and multi-instrumentalist Luke Slott\, the five friends quickly realised that they could write their own songs and by 2001 were the centre of a major label bidding war\, with the band eventually signing to Sony UK. Much to the delight of the band members’ parents\, the bidding war coincided with the lead up to their final school exams\, with the Sony deal signed in May 2001\, weeks before their leaving certificate. \nShortly after www.melaton.ie was set up and a CD was promised to anyone who logged on that year. “We initially said we would do 2\,000 of them and we thought that would do us for the year\,” Luke remembers\, “but it ended up we had requests for over 7\,000. And we really did make them and send them all out.” \nMelaton went on to release two more EPs – ‘Falling Star’ and ‘Still Water’ and toured extensively throughout the UK and Ireland as well as playing support to Ian Brown\, Elbow and JJ72. At the time their sound was as “…early U2 shot through with the haunting impact that first made us treasure Jeff Buckley. It’s the complex\, ethereal grace of Radiohead with none of the emotional distance.” \nStints with producer Stephen Street (The Smiths\, Blur) at Townhouse Studios in London and with U2 engineer Richard Rainey at St. Catherine’s Court in Bath (the site of the fabled OK Computer recordings) failed to yield the more commercial sound being sought by the record label. Pressure mounted to write more radio friendly singles and by early 2004 Melaton had collapsed under the weight of corporate expectations and the compromising of their creative process. \nAsked why the band chose Sony UK’s offer above any others\, Andrew Brennan says\, “I think they were the only label that weren’t insisting we had to move to London”. \nOver twenty years later\, Melaton are delighted to announce that they have reformed to play a show in Dublin’s Whelan’s on 26th June 2026 in aid of the amazing work done by Focus Ireland.

SUMMARY:Culture Wars
DESCRIPTION:Culture Wars is an Austin – bred\, Los Angeles – based alternative powerhouse bridging the gap between ’90s guitar grit and the cinematic polish of modern pop. Driven by “song – first” authenticity\, the band rejects the hyper – digitized landscape of modern rock in favor of real instruments and collective chemistry. Their highly anticipated debut album\, Don’t Speak (arriving April 10th)\, delivers a high – octane\, genre – blending sound that fuses surf – rock pulses and ’80s synth textures into arena – ready anthems. With nine tracks from the album already amassing millions of streams\, their one million monthly listeners are primed for the full project’s release. \nSince their 2021 EP teche\, Culture Wars has maintained an explosive upward trajectory as a formidable self – managed unit. Their relentless passion earned them coveted opening slots for global giants like Maroon 5 and LANY\, momentum they have since converted into a powerhouse headline presence. Having already sold out iconic venues in New York City\, Los Angeles\, and Lon don\, the band enters this album cycle as a proven global draw\, ready to lead the next generation of guitar – driven alternative music.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Have Mercy
DESCRIPTION:Blending the raw emotion of early emo with the weight and clarity of modern rock\, Have Mercy has established a sound that is distinctly their own. Across six studio albums\, the band has demonstrated both artistic growth and unwavering dedication to their craft. \nTheir journey has been marked by both triumph and adversity. A period of instability saw the lineup shift\, but through sobriety\, personal growth\, and renewed purpose\, the core members – Brian Swindle\, Nick Woolford\, Andrew Johnson\, and Steve Wootteon\, reunited in Baltimore\, Maryland\, revitalizing the band with a renewed sense of direction. \nTheir latest album\, the loneliest place I’ve ever been (Rude Records)\, is a powerful and introspective release. Balancing dark\, emotionally driven lyricism with infectious hooks\, the record reflects a pivotal chapter in Swindle’s journey toward sobriety. “It’s the record we always wanted to make\, dark yet hopeful\, polished yet imperfect.” \nWith a renewed lineup and creative energy\, Have Mercy has returned to the global stage\, continuing to solidify their reputation as a compelling and unmissable live act.

Since then\, he has gone on to read & perform at The International Literary Festival\, The Dublin Arts & Human Rights Festival\, The Bram Stoker Festival\, Culture Nights\, Craicly Stories\, and curate & host The Write Stuff gatherings at Chapters Bookstore. \nTwo Prong – John Fleming and Niall Toner Jr of The Prongs Dubliners John Fleming and Niall Toner Jr have been friends since their teenage years.

Away from the bombast of their full six-piece band iteration\, Fleming and Toner will perform a curated menu of their most sharply Dublin-infused work along with readings from The Now Now Express novel from which The Prongs first crawled as fictional entities. Two-Prong promises a Telecaster/microphone/backing film projection performance worthy of the James Joyce-linked North Great Georges Street venue hosting this extraordinary evening with The Write Stuff. Come enter the tuneful and emotive audio/visual world of The Prongs. \nKaycii is an emerging hip hop artist and lyricist from Crumlin\, Dublin\, known for his raw storytelling\, dark imagery and vocal aggression. His music combines introspective lyricism with hard-hitting boom bap influences\, exploring themes of survival\, identity\, trauma\, addiction\, and ambition.

Working on his debut project and side projects\, Kaycii has been in the background perfecting his craft and preparing for release. \nEddie Winston is an emerging artist. He is a soulful\, and inspiring\, singer-songwriter from Ballymun\, Dublin. Following a hard-fought journey to break free from addiction after 25 years.

Live music\, strange stories and Neck Oil in the heart of Dublin. \n\n\n\nBeavertown is bringing Soundtrack Stories to Dublin this June – a two-night celebration of live music\, storytelling and the strange magic that happens when a room full of cool people get together over a pint. \nInspired by Ireland’s rich pub culture\, we’re taking over Egan’s and The Globe\, where the crowd is every bit as important as the artists on stage. Expect live performances from SexyTadhg and Kean Kavanagh\, support from Minikimono\, and plenty of opportunities for stories to take on a life of their own. \nHosted by Bard of Beavertown Meg Reilly\, Soundtrack Stories flips the script by putting storytellers centre stage as the warm-up act\, setting the tone before the live music begins. \nPart gig\, part crowd storytelling experiment\, these are nights designed to be shared. We’ll bring the Neck Oil. You bring the stories. \n  \nTHURSDAY 25 JUNE\nEgan’s\, Dublin 2 \nFeaturing SexyTadhg + Minikimono \n  \nDoors from 6PM \nStrictly 18+. \nPlease drink responsibly. \nT&Cs\nThis venue has limited capacity and entry is subject to capacity on the night.

SUMMARY:Metronome: Dublin Modular
DESCRIPTION:Folding Waves & Genevieve Howard \nTadhg Kinsella\nSonia Killmann  \nAn evening where modular and hardware electronics fuse with acoustic instrumentation and immersive digital art. Curated as a celebration of queer identity\, experimentation\, and collaboration\, this event brings together some of Ireland’s most exciting electro-acoustic artists. Expect performances to blur genres\, sounds and worlds. A vibrant snapshot of Ireland’s evolving electronic music landscape and grassroots communities. \nFolding Waves is an international award-winning creative audio studio based in Dublin. Comprising a small team of sound designers\, composers and mix engineers\, united by their shared enthusiasm for the symbiotic relationship between sound and moving image. \nBorne from their collaboration for ICADs Reverb event (part of Irish Design Week 2025)\, Folding Waves will be performing alongside multidisciplinary artist\, designer and musician Genevieve Howard – live processing her spontaneous harp gestures through a Eurorack modular synthesiser. \nThis\, with accompaniment from Folding Waves’ own Mark Bergin on heavily effected Banjo\, creates a sonically rich\, and texturally dense improvisational soundscape – harkening back to Ireland’s cultural music tradition through a distinctly modernist lens. \nTadhg Kinsella is a queer Dublin-based sound artist\, classically trained percussionist\, and composer whose work blends acoustic performance with experimental electronic practices.\nSpecialising in modular synthesis\, haptic sound devices\, and percussion elements. Tadhg’s practice spans contemporary classical music\, sound art\, and immersive installation. Their work explores the meeting point of sound\, technology\, and urban space\, often drawing on lived experiences; queer identity\, disability and grief to shape compositional and performative approaches. Deeply engaged in Ireland’s contemporary/experimental arts through grassroots\, queer & disability communities. \nTadhg’s compositions have recently been performed and exhibited in Berlin\, Bristol\, Romania and Stockholm\, with past performances at international masterclasses and concert halls across the United States\, Colombia\, and Europe. In Ireland\, their work has been presented at Project Arts Centre\, the RHA Gallery\, Smock Alley Theatre\, and IMRO for NMDX. \nSonia Killmann is an international saxophone player and electronic musician. They have performed across the UK and Europe and are collaborating closely with Cryptic Glasgow as a Cryptic artist\, working in immersive installations and audiovisual performance. Sonia’s work treads the boundaries between the familiar and the unfamiliar by merging organic and synthetic sound worlds. Sonia has been exploring Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening concepts through circular breathing and adapting environments in the context of live performance. \nPresented by NCH

SUMMARY:Dirty Blond
DESCRIPTION:Corey Sanders\, aka Dirty Blond\, stepped up to the mic at a recent sold-out gig with a grin and a warning. ‘Are you having a good night? Good — because I’m going to ruin it.’ The crowd laughed. Then he played. And instead of killing the mood\, he tightened it —a roomful of strangers locked into the same feeling\, singing back every bruised lyric like it belonged to them. \nThat’s the trick: the heavier the heartbreak\, the stronger the connection. In Corey’s hands\, melancholia doesn’t isolate \, it unites. That tension — sorrow turning into connection — sits at the heart of Dirty Blond. The songs are bruised and vulnerable\, but in a live setting they feel expansive\, even euphoric. There’s comfort in the candour\, in the shared recognition of something difficult but true. It’s no surprise that audiences keep growing\, both in rooms and online. Hailing from Wales — ‘the land of music and magic\,’ as he fondly calls it — Corey has been steadily building towards this moment. \nWith an album due later this year\, he’s been sharing a run of stripped-back sad songs on TikTok\, quietly amassing tens of millions of likes and an increasingly devoted following. The online rise tells one story. The real one\, though\, is happening in real time\, in packed-out venues where heartbreak somehow makes everyone feel a little less alone. The John Lennon adage ‘Life is what happens when you’re making other plans’ landed hard for Corey after his relationship fell apart. He had bought a home and a ring while his partner was quietly making plans of her own\, ultimately leaving for the United States. \nRaised in Bridgend\, Corey describes a happy childhood\, loving parents\, and a close bond with his brother. Yet he still refers to his hometown as ‘a place where there are monsters under the bed.’ Though the coal mine closures occurred long before he was born\, their impact rippled through generations\, compounded by more recent tragedies that cast long shadows over the community. At school\, Corey wasn’t academically inclined\, but music offered a way out. He taught himself piano and guitar\, writing songs from the age of twelve. When a teacher explained he could earn a GCSE through song writing\, it was revelatory. ‘Until then\, I felt like there was no way of getting out\,’ he admits\, reflecting on the creative constraints of a working-class town weighed down by low expectations. \nAt fourteen\, he formed his first band. By seventeen\, he had signed a publishing deal. At eighteen\, he moved to north London\, living in a garage for two years on stacked mattresses while friends occupied the house above. After a breakup with his school sweetheart\, he wrote ‘You Are the Reason’ — the cinematic tearjerker that would become a global hit for Calum Scott. Many song writing successes followed. Today\, Corey’s songs have amassed more than nine billion streams\, but now he’s ready to step out from the studio and into the spotlight. So why the sadness? And is it personal\, or cultural? ‘It’s the DNA of where I grew up — trapped in its melancholia\,’ he says. ‘In Wales\, people sing in pubs\, but they don’t jump around like they do in Ireland.’ \nReflecting now\, Corey sees his roots differently. ‘I spent my whole life trying to escape. Now I see it as something beautiful and damaged. I want to write songs for the people — to give them new songs to sing in the pub\, after they’ve finished Delilah.’ Healed from the end of his last relationship\, Corey has since found love again. Alongside the sadness\, the album also holds space for songs that don’t deny the damage — but still dare to open the door once more. Ultimately\, these songs are about storytelling as catharsis: shared pain\, nostalgia\, healing — and the hope that quietly emerges in the aftermath.

We endeavour to create new work that captures the simple beauty of live storytelling and its ability to bring people together by combatting a contemporary world that is increasingly divided. \nJAXBANDED has now produced a number of stage and online productions\, including but not limited to Sentimental: A New Gig Musical (2023)\, HYPER in S&H (2023)\, DFF (2023) and EFF (2024)\, Hate F#%K (2024) in the New Theatre\, Stone Cold Sober Remastered (2024)\, The Dolldrums (2025) in Smock Alley: DMT\, and of course our newest work in progress show UNDERCOVERS (2026)\, which will next be performed at Beyond the Pale 2026. We are very excited to be developing bold new work for the Irish and world stage.
