ZEALOTS
Their sound has been compared to Depeche mode, Interpol, Stereo Lab and Wire although it is difficult to pinpoint a direct influence. Theirs is an undeniably unique concoction. Ruth Kennington's angelic vocals drape over sound scapes that can shift from expansively liberating to claustrophobicly paranoid.Zealots have had rapturous responses from the growing crowds at home and away and are steadily building a loyal fan base. The gigs are intense, energetic, vibrant and above all else loud as f@@k!

KATET
KaTet are a young, up and coming 3 piece from the west of Ireland that deliver a punch or rock and roll
that remind a crowd that it is not in fact dead.Utilizing their voices and instruments,these young fellows
have blown away un-suspecting audiences across the country in the last 12 months and even earned themselves a spot at this years Electric Picnic

GAVIN MEE
Whether its a song about a quirky choir with belly dancers, revolving conductors and tap dancing altos , or a step by step guide to going in search of a New Year’s kiss, seduction in the west of Ireland, or a hair product that isn't commercial enough to have a jingle written about it so he wrote one , Gavin wants to bring the audience into his anecdote and one that they can relate to like a jovial conversation after a few liquors.

Cah-44
Performance Poet Cah-44 has been living in a ramshackle post-Gorey house in North Dublin with an international rotating collective of a dubious, if opaque, nature.
He needs a cat.
But no mere cat.
Perhaps a meercat.
