Molossus, Laura Sheeran and Diarmuid MacDiarmada play backstage at The Tivoli this Saturday

Molossus
‘Molossus are a 5 piece alternative band from Dublin featuring members of The Jimmy Cake, Hands Up Who Wants To Die and Percolator. Molossus is the sound of an owl and a bear fighting over a mason jar full of electricity. Imagine a cloud full of razor blades ; you’ve just imagined Molossus. When you find yourself screaming into the abyss, Molossus will whisper back.’

Laura Sheeran
Laura Sheeran sings and performs on a loop station, bowed saw, melodica, accordion, flute, ukulele, and used a TC Helicon Voice Live 2 to manipulate her vocals and create harmonies. She frequently incorporates improvisation into her performances. Blending classical influences with heavy electronic production and filtering it all through a dark witching gauze Laura’s music is both melancholic, rich and powerful and has led her to be described as “an episode of Twin Peaks in female form”.

A ‘creative dynamo’, Laura has an extensive back catalogue of work to date including a number of soundtracks that she has done for various theater shows and short films, her solo (and collaborative) CD/Vinyl/digital releases, not to mention a series of videos she herself has filmed, edited and released in tandem with her music.
