Basht.

Basht. brings its Dublin-born quintet to Button Factory, Dublin, on 7 November 2026. Led by singer Jack Leavey, with Sam Duffy and Rossa Healy on guitars, Louis Christle on bass and Luke O’Neill on drums, the band moves between alternative and guitar-led indie rock, where melodic vocals cut through saturated textures and taut rhythms. The writing favors direct impact without losing an introspective streak, playing on contrasts and dynamics.

On stage, Basht. has built its backbone across clubs in Ireland and the UK, then further afield in Europe, opening for acts like Wunderhorse, Been Stellar and Goo Goo Dolls. That roadwork shapes a live set that leans into tension-and-release, guitars in the foreground and hooks that stay sharp. Their first EP, Dirty White Lies, set the tone before Bitter & Twisted (Lab Records, 2025) refined their approach, keeping melody at the heart of a dense, guitar-centric sound.

At Button Factory, expect tight interplay, rising layers of distortion and clear vocal lines that carry the songs forward—nothing flashy, just focus and momentum from a band honing its identity where it counts: on stage.
