About this event
Starting as a light-hearted idea between two sixteen-year-olds in a sleepy fishing town on the southern coast of Ireland, a whole joke-taken-to-heart later and their difference is marked by an early immersion in Cork’s live music scene, "we were into what we were hearing but knew we could never be part of it, we wanted to juxtapose ourselves," says front man Euan Manning, "not for the sake of doing something different but because we have pop-leaning influences and didn’t want to shy away from that." Now barely twenty, the six-piece are next in an Irish line changing the sound of alternative music.
Perpetually keeping outside of their comfort zone, their sound has echoes of Big Music, of the effervescence of 80s indie, conjuring up an eclectic, gothic amalgam of shoegaze, Irish trad folk and alternative music for an ambitious sound that has already carved them out as a marked side-step to the recent bands who've broken through around them.
Following a filmed performance for Other Voices in their homeland, and the enviable support of Fontaines D.C.'s Grian Chatten, who called them "one of my favourite new bands" during an interview with Radio 1, Cardinals play a show at Cyprus Avenue this May.

No, I'm afraid an over 18s show is strictly over 18s.
