NEWDAD
Thursday 25th September
at St John's Church, 7:00pm (14+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event). To celebrate the release of 'Altar','NEWDAD visit Kingston to play at St John's Church.NewDad, fronted by enigmatic songwriter and vocalist Julie Dawson, are an alternative three piece from Galway, Ireland. Their influences vary from legendary bands like The Cure, Pixies, R.E.M., and My Bloody Valentine, to more contemporary acts, such as Big Thief and Beabadoobee.NewDad make music that confronts the horrors of the modern world. Julie’s lyrics find beauty in her pain, with a unique perspective on her generational despair that resonates broadly. With writing that regularly evokes imagery of water and religion, she reflects on the band’s upbringing on the West Coast of Ireland through her songwriting.‘Altar’ is the second album from “Ireland’s next great guitar band”, and the third album from their prolific frontwoman Julie Dawson in less than 2 years. It’s a grungey alt-rock future classic that jolts between anger-fueled anthemics on the one hand, and darkly intimate and melancholic introspection on the other. They’ve built a dedicated cult following with their acclaimed debut ‘Madra’ and if they’re good enough for the godfather of goth they’re good enough for you…“I liked the NewDad album, that’s been on in my car for a long time” (Robert Smith)-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with a stage time of 8:00pmEveryone attending needs their own ticket.

Friday 26th January
at Banquet Records, 6:00pm
To celebrate the release of the new album 'Madra', NEWDAD visit Kingston to play an in-store set.Irish alt / rock collective NewDad release their debut album, MADRA on Fair Youth / Atlantic. Awash with spiralling guitars and a hypnotic bassline, singer/guitarist Julie Dawson finds inspiration in TV show Euphoria, as she ruminates on the destructive relationship of characters, Rue and Jules: a storyline that she herself gravitated towards.MADRA(meaning “dog” in Irish) is an 11-song, guitar-stacked visceral outing, as singer/guitarist Julie Dawson embarks on a journey of self-exploration, self-sabotage, and reflection. Soaked in dysfunction, MADRA searches for solace in pain, tackling themes of bullying (‘Where I Go’), self-medication/depression (‘Madra’, ‘Let Go’), destruction (‘Change My Mind’, ‘White Ribbons’), co-dependency (‘Nosebleed’) and resistance (‘Nightmares’). The album artwork, photographed by Irish creative, Joshua Gordon, shows a broken doll that serves as a metaphor for the album’s themes of fragility and vulnerability.-In-store Grade B.Priority will be given to anyone who orders a copy of 'Madra' from us. If there's space on the day for more people, we'll let you know!Admission will be via order number, please bring yours to the shop.
