Concrete Soup New Psych Music Afternoons

Concrete Soup & The Twisted Pepper Dublin

The title to this blog ‘Concrete Soup at the Twisted Pepper‘ could have you reading for a really bad review on some terribly bad thick soup but you’d be fooled dear reader, you’d be fooled BIG TIME because this blog is all about Dublin’s UNDERGROUND New Psych Music … you didn’t see that coming did you!

How about something that is so underground it ACTUALLY HAPPENS UNDERGROUND?? From the black deeps of the Twisted Pepper Basement, the 3rdSaturday afternoon of every month, Concrete Soup has been bringing together international, national and local avant-garde musicians of all colours and stripes for nigh on a year now. Hosted by new psychedelic improvisers ¡NO!, Concrete Soup features a monthly guest and fuels itself on wailing walls of guitars, space jazz bass, brain bending keys, stair collapse drums, nuclear winter clarinet, high wire sax and generally mutant noise. Oh, and it’s often washed down with heavily psychedelic visuals. If you have a penchant for a mash-up of the styles of Can, Pere Ubu, Captain Beefheart, Sun Ra, 70s Miles or early Sonic Youth, this will fix you nicely. (courtesy of Concrete Soup)
