DF Concerts Presents: The Sophs
Apr
18

DF Concerts Presents: The Sophs

When Ramon sent a demo reel out to his favorite indies, he wasn’t expecting any replies.

But Travis and Lee were in his inbox the next day, asking if he’d hop on a call. Rough Trade heard the sort of creativity and variety — and “don’t expect me to act pretty” sentiment — that could get The Sophs — including Ramon, Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass) — a slot on nearly any stage.

DF Concerts Presents: Kasador
Apr
23

DF Concerts Presents: Kasador

This is dressed-down, cheeky, pirate-radio indie-rock. It’s tender and carefully considered, but also raw and wild and burnt around the edges, a sonic and compositional thumbprint that nods to classic and alternative rock history while pushing into something new, something exciting.

If you want more dirty, raw, celebratory rock and roll in your life, stay tuned. Help is on the way.

DF Concerts Presents: Burglar
Apr
28

DF Concerts Presents: Burglar

Burglar is an alternative rock band based in Dublin, Ireland. Willow and Eduardo formed Burglar after meeting in college in 2021 and bonding over their love of alternative acts such as Stereolab and Smashing Pumpkins. Their backgrounds couldn’t be more different; Eduardo grew up around the punk rock scene in his hometown of Goiânia, Brazil, while Willow comes from the indie-pop scene in Dublin. However, their blend of inspirations has given Burglar a unique and addictive sound. Willow’s dissociative lyricism and Eduardo’s confessional style result in energetic and catchy songs with interchangeable vocal leads and omnipresent harmonic work, alongside distorted guitars and buzzing synths.

Emerging from secret raves, the infectious energy of their live performance  has prompted lightning-fast sellouts for dates across Europe including a sold-out 3000 capacity warehouse show in Dublin, two sold out nights at the 3Olympia as well as sold out shows in London and Spain. After appearances at festivals like Forbidden Fruit, All Together Now, Secret Garden Party & Latitude, Le Boom captured euphoria on their latest singles ‘Orange Glow’ and ‘Class’. The  spoken word lyricism offers cathartic contrast between tongue-in-cheek narration & iridescent synth work. The tracks garnered national radio play in the UK and Ireland with notable support from Pete Tong, Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
