WHY?

Fri 28th March, Róisín Dubh - on sale now

For nearly three decades, WHY? have thrived in subverting expectations. Across seven unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the band led by Cincinnati songwriter Yoni Wolf has stretched the fringes of psychedelic pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. No matter the genre experiments and thematic departures, their discography is remarkably consistent, anchored by Wolf’s disarming lyrical transparency. His writing is provocative, self-lacerating, and always considered, coming from a place of blunt emotional openness. The Well I Fell Into, the eighth full-length from WHY?, is Wolf at his most cohesive and poignant. An autopsy of heartbreak, the album charts the ups and downs of a devastating breakup while trading bitterness for healing. Self-released on Waterlines, Wolf’s new label that follows in the footsteps of Anticon, the trailblazing artist-run collective he co-founded, its 14 tracks stand as the band’s prettiest and most immediate work yet.

“He was a king and a god in the world he knew, but now he comes to civilization merely a captive - a show to gratify your curiosity.”

I can’t believe you haven’t seen...KING KONG
Wednesday 27 November / 8.30pm / Pálás Cinema
Free can of White Hag with every ticket

“In 1933, a colossal gorilla clambered up the Empire State Building, forever imprinting an iconic image in cinematic history. This was King Kong, an opus of human imagination, pioneering special effects, and reflecting its era...King Kong stands as a testament to filmmaking genius. Its creators used stop-motion animation, miniatures, rear projection, and matte painting to weave the story of Kong and the mysterious Skull Island. Co-directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, alongside animator Willis O’Brien, were the masterminds who breathed life into this epic tale.”
