A gig held at The Mothers Ruin on Wednesday 8th April. The event starts at 20:00.
ELASTIC SLEEP
Elastic Sleep are a cin -pop shoegaze five piece that play a dreamy blend of noisey pop songs about everyday melancholy. Having spent most of 2014 gigging across Ireland following the release of their debut EP'Leave You' on Big Tea Records (UK) and FIFA Records (IRL), the band have built up a reputation for their dynamic and visceral live performances and haunting soundscapes. Their sound travels across darkness and light; from the tranquil to the uncontrollable taking influence from Broadcast, early Goldfrapp, My Bloody Valentine with a lush cinematic quality that has was won them much praise over the last 18 months.
2015 is shaping up to be a big year for the group; having received much praise for their debut EP they were chosen to perform at Whelans'Ones to Watch' 2015 and have also been hotly tipped by the Thin Air, Hot Press and Golden Plec for big things this year.
'An Irish five piece built upon electric slush, dizzying glides and male female vocal murmurs, Elastic Sleep follow the classic shoegazing formula.'
NME Radar
"Their'Leave You' EP shows that they are making some of the best sounds in Ireland right now. "
The Irish Times
' 'Elastic Sleep have mastered the art of dazzling dreampop with endearing boy/girl vocals and shimmering soundscapes that Slowdive would be proud of'
Hot Press.

BEAT HARLOWS
A bittersweet indie-ish 5 piece with an authentic unpredictability. A Wailing 60's organ blends with sweet and tender guitar parts, backed up by a pounding manic rhythm section. Soaring falsetto backing vocals intertwine with a broken baritone lead. The vocals dip in and out of shyness and genuine frustration, sarcasm and ecstacy. Balancing well in the light between garage rock and sweetly crafted songs, they have only been together under a year, but are gaining a reputation rapidly.
