BITCH FALCON ON TOUR!

We are so excited to finally announce Bitch Falcon's first Irish tour!!!

The three-piece are set to embark on their first tour coinciding with the release of their newest single, “Clutch”.

Two years on from an initial explosive emergence, the Dublin-based three-piece haven’t so much discovered their voice as honed and refined it. They relish in frenetic declarations, their sound always moving forward while throwing occasional nods to the past. 

The sonic aesthetic is raw, even a touch frenzied, yet manages to harness the strongest elements of rock, grunge, metal, hardcore and melodic electro-pop. Bitch Falcon's end result is a distinctive, once-heard-not-forgotten voice. 

Pulsating tracks like ‘Wolfstooth’, ‘Breed’ and ‘TMJ’ are indicative of a band unwilling to sit still and stay quiet. These are songs of punch, grit and verve. They make an even greater impact up close and personal as the band’s deserved reputation as one of Ireland’s most engaging live prospects comes alive. 

In their short time together, the trio have shared the stage with the likes of Fucked Up, Torche, The ZZZ’s, Glen Hansard, Les Butcherettes, No Spill Blood and Red Enemy, unapologetically stealing the spotlight at every turn.

After a busy 2016 where they stormed the stages of Body & Soul, Indiependence, Knockanstockan & Electric Picnic; Bitch Falcon will take flight for Canadian Music Week and other international events in 2017 as well as releasing brand new material throughout the year.

The Blizzards @ The Olympia

After their six year hiatus which ended with a show at the Olympia theatre, the Blizzards returned to the stage last Saturday and blew the roof off the place!

The night kicked off with performances from Fallen Lights and Ivy Nations, who got the whole, packed out Olympia off their feet and ready for The Blizzards. (Thanks for the photos, Philip Magee and Dave Moore from Today FM!)

Ivy Nations played their upcoming single "Live By Design" and it was recorded as a live video, to be released before the new year!

The Blizzards hit the stage with some of their classics, new and old. They also performed their next single, "Second Wind", for the first time ever as well as their highly acclaimed cover of Neiked's "Sexual". (We'll have a video of the cover from Camden Recording Studios up by the end of the week!)

Thanks to everyone who came and had a dance with the Blizzards! See you at the following shows:

December 10 - Landmark Hotel, Carrick on Shannon
