Trasna presents Aoife Wolf, Pippa Molony & Venetian Tendencies
Trasna presents an evening of Irish music in the intimate La Chunky Studio, featuring three artists that blend between psych-folk, dark ethereal, and post-punk sonic worlds. Aoife Wolf melds searing psych-folk with lyrics that delve deep into uncanny worlds. Drawing influence from the songwriting of Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Pj Harvey and My Bloody Valentine. Aoife’s haunting vocals accented by off-kilter guitar embellishments make for an arresting performance all recorded to tape by Julie McLarnon at Analogue Catalogue. Pippa Molony is a multidisciplinary artist from Dublin. As a musician, she creates music in various genres but it is mostly experimental and electronic in nature. Her debut EP, Hungry Ghost (October 2024), is an eight-track avant-pop EP that explores consumption, folklore and dreams, and was created in collaboration with producer Rory Sweeney. In March, Pippa released a synth driven, atmospheric cover of the Irish rebel song The Foggy Dew (feat. Rory Sweeney), marking the beginning of a new body of work, with further releases planned throughout 2027. Venetian Tendencies is an interdisciplinary sonic art/music collaboration between Night Shift's Eo Stearn (Vocals, Keys) and Sarah Grimes (Drums, Percussion) of GRAVE GOODS. This gig is BYOB & NOTAFLOF. Please email us at [email protected] if needed and we can work something out.

Human Host / Raivo Sloan / Troutflies
We’ve a trio of acts, each with hot fresh releases to sink ye teeth into! Human Host are coming in hot from Pennsylvania for their first UK tour. Their latest release ‘For an Unknown Sign’ (out on Entropic Records now!), a whirly polyphonic mix of glitchy keys and janky drum loops, toss that with playful toy-tones and synth-pop vocals. Glasgow’s Raivo Sloan, is pulling up with darkly dense beats, swaying fantastically between ambience, thick layered vocals and driving dance motifs. ‘I Can’t Drive’ is Raivo’s first major release and a sublime addition to Glasgow’s premier purveyors of aural oddities GLARC. York / Glasgow based troubadours Troutflies are joining us with their droning, dislocated, trudge-pop(?) brilliance, it sounds like sulking in runny honey. The young lads have just dropped ‘Wild Troutflies’ a delicious second album on Private Regcords.
