SPRITZ
September 4th
The Main Room
Spritz are an Dublin-based indie/alt rock band consisting of Rachel Quinn, Sarah Murnane, Rishi De, Loeka Ram and Holly Fitzgerald.
Rachel and Sarah started playing together after meeting through mutual friends in the Summer of 2023, taking inspiration from Beabadoobee, Pillow Queens and The National (as well as a lot of blaring My Chemical Romance as a teenager by Sarah). Loeka, Rishi and Holly joined them in Feburary, each bringing their own influences and ideas to the band.
Returning from a hiatus Raw Cuts have jumped straight back into gigging with recent sets at DU music x HotPress event, Whelans and their festival debut at Fuinneamh Festival. The four members began their connection as childhood friends, in their teenage years they grew over a love of sharing music until one began to play and assigned the others their instruments at the end of their school years. After a quick realization of a special spark the band produced sounds, lyrics and energy similar of bands like Gang of Four, Wolf Alice, Thumper, The Stone Roses and Viagra Boys. Gaining attraction from their originals and personalized covers of Kylie Monogue, Britney Spears and Horse Girl they are familiar to hauling in and bottling energy in a given room or field.
Alternative rock group Raw Cuts are ready and eager to showcase their new sound they have been working on together since the end of their hiatus offering a set with calmness and climaxes.
KLDD was originally formed by four schoolmates over a combined love of dirty riffs, thumbing bass lines and soaring melodies. The inspiration for getting the project moving was an interschools competition (in which they came second) and the musical and personal chemistry proved so good that they have stuck together ever since. KLDD are an eclectic band building a catalog of new wave, psychedelic, groove-based rock and indie.
