Black Jam By Fried Plantains Collective
A showcase of powerful live music and ballads from Dublin’s alternative composers. Their experimental dark-wave, Afro-electro grime and hard hitting punk will explore themes of intimacy, esotericism and loneliness in our current state of being.
Acts include the Dutch lesbian rap duo LIONSTORM, gothic sounds and visuals of Nicol Faer and Leo Pellegatta, Coolgirl, Cami, melodic mantras from Ruairi Conneely, and many more.
So, put on your stomping boots and get ready to dance.
