We are psychotically thrilled to present in association with the good folks at Downtownsounds, the astonishing GLASS CANDY for an exclusive show in Dublin. This is their very first visit to Ireland in what is a rare outing to Europe for the Portland based duo.
Theirs is a sound unlike any other with JOHNNY JEWELS moroderesque synth lines complemented by the austere yet soulful vocal of IDA NO. They also have a fierce live reputation so this is a show not to be missed. Plugging the gaps between no wave, italo soulful house and neu disco will be the Maximum Joy and Downtownsounds DJs.

GLASS CANDY
Portland's Glass Candy started out as a glammed-out no wave/ disco band back in 1996, but over the years they have transformed into a full fledged dance "band"- leaving the live drummer behind and going 100% electronic. Taking cues from cosmic/space and Italo disco, Glass Candy takes an organic approach to writing music, using all analogue gear and not a single computer. Comparisons have been drawn to Cerrone and Moroder for their approach towards making music without compromise. They have toured the USA seven times, released over 20 records in every possible format, and have a rabid fanbase throughout the world.
