Soda Blonde

Irish alt-pop foursome Soda Blonde headline Fox Cabaret in Vancouver on September 29, 2026. Formed in Dublin after the split of Little Green Cars, the band brings together vocalist and songwriter Faye O’Rourke with Adam O’Regan, Donagh Seaver O’Leary and Dylan Lynch. On stage, they lean into detailed arrangements and close harmonies, drawing from art pop and 80s-tinged textures while keeping a clear melodic throughline. Early EPs Terrible Hands and Isolation Content set out their palette; the albums Small Talk and Dream Big pushed it further with lyrics that probe identity, relationships and everyday city life, carried by refrains that stick without forcing it.

Live, O’Rourke’s distinctive voice sits upfront over elastic bass lines, chiming guitars and patient grooves, giving space to slow-burn builds as much as punchier, rhythm-led moments. The group’s interplay favors balance and clarity, with dynamics that shift naturally from intimate to full and open. Guests join for the night.
