Who Art Thou?

Today on the podcast I am joined by AC and Alex of the Toronto based Bass Violence band known as NERVE!
The band's debut released was out on July 31st, 'DEMO 2026', which contains 3 tracks that perfectly exemplify what 'Bass Violence' is all about and will be the primary focus of this particular episode.
The band have also released a music video for one of those tracks, 'Safe Space', which you can watch now on the band's socials and the bizarre story of how that music video was shot.
Always a pleasure having AC, awesome having Alex on for the first time, hope you enjoyed the episode!

Today on the podcast I am going to be joined by writer/theatremaker, Cian Ó Náraigh!
Cian is the founder of Scaoilte Theatre, a bilingual (English/Irish) theatre comhargúpa, based in Kildare and Dublin which has a focus on bilingual, politically aware, socially conscious and environmentally focused theatre. I'll be chatting to Cian about what the group is all about, why he set is up and what kind of stuff they want to make,
On top of this, Scaoilte Theatre's play, 'Anonn | The Other Side', will be embarking on it's national tour this week, beginning on Wednesday in Kildare and then coming to Dublin on Friday in the Axis Art Centre and Theatre in Ballymun. This is a one-man show tackling themes of grief, loss, and the macabre, all about a fake spirit medium actually making contact with the other side. Cian, who wrote the play, will be telling us all about the show in a non-spoiler way, why he wrote it and what it represents.
We'll be chatting about Ag Samhlú Saoil Eile, the bilingual theatre workshop he setup alongside Martha Cosgrove of Scaoilte Theatre. The project invites young people (16-24) with a curiosity for the Irish language and theatre to explore the natural spaces and species in Irish mythology of supernatural Otherworld through theatre. Participants are then invited to create their own stories of worlds in which we live with respect and wonder for ecosystems.
And finally we will be discussing the current Irish language revival and what the means in relation to theatre and future of the Irish language.

Today on the podcast I am delighted to announce that Evan Prendergast will be making his return on the podcast!
Normally having a guest on like Evan, we would be focusing on his work with his band Low Violent, Uncultivates and Worn Out but for this particular episode, the primary focus is going to be about how Evan is the proud owner of Dead Cult Promotions, a staple of the Metal, Hardcore, Punk and Alternative music scene here in Ireland.
I'll be chatting with Evan about why he started Dead Cult in the first place, how he built it up to what it is now, what are some of the major things he's learned along the way, what he looks for in band's to put on and what the ethos of Dead Cult is all about.
There has been many mornings where I've looked at my Instagram stories to see incredible shows after shows that Dead Cult put, it was a huge pleasure to have Evan back on to pick his brain about the inner workings of putting on shows.
The next Dead Cult show is tomorrow night in Dali, Cork where they will be putting on the first date of the Irish and UK Tour for a American Hardcore band SPACED with fellow American Hardcore band Dry Socket, Stanton's Grave and Poser.
