SLEEPOVER CLUB PRESENTS… banríon, Beauty Pageant, Robbie Stickland

banríon is an indie-rock band, fresh on Dublin’s indie/alt-rock/post-punk DIY scene. Headed by Róisín Ní Haicéid, the songs are raw, revolving around the complex and unique theme of disability, alongside relatable young experiences such as emigration, heartbreak and loving your pals.

Beauty Pageant‘s songs take influence from 90s indie-rock, from the power-pop of Ash to the slacker sensibilities of Pavement, while incorporating the synth hooks of late-2000s NME fodder and the cathartic energy of 2010s punk bands such as Joyce Manor. With his understated humour and DIY ethos, Robbie Stickland has earned comparisons to the likes of Mac DeMarco, Jonathan Richman and Kevin Morby – check out his LP Warm Jeans In The Morning to get a taste of what he’s offering. Tickets €10

THUMPER

2020 saw THUMPER perform a blistering Eurosonic show, a sold-out Molotow Hamburg performance, and embark on a month-long UK/EU tour in support of their single Ad Nauseam.

This intense touring schedule was abruptly cut short in March due to the dreaded Covid19, however, the band channeled this momentum back into the studio. In June the single “Topher Grace” was released to critical acclaim – scoring extensive radio play on BBC6, Kerrang! & RadioX amongst others in the UK, as well as support from RTE and others at home in Ireland. It was also included on several Spotify and GooglePlay playlists, making the cover of Spotify’s The Punk List.

Now with several successful live-streamed shows under their belt (including a collaborative show with Damien Dempsey, a Waves Vienna festival show, and a headline show from the Button Factory hosted by Hot Press) THUMPER set their sights on late 2021 – including a festival slot at Iceland Airwaves, an international tour, the announcement of a long-awaited debut LP AND A GIG AT OUR GAFF…..Tickets €10
