Just Mustard

On Saturday, May 9, 2026 at Fox Cabaret in Vancouver, Just Mustard take the stage with special guests for a set that traces their singular path from Dundalk, Ireland to the heart of today’s guitar music. Built around Katie Ball’s airy vocals and the twin guitars of David Noonan and Mete Kalyoncuoğlu, with Robert Hodgers Clarke on bass and Shane Maguire on drums, the band folds shoegaze, trip-hop and post-rock into a sound that’s both tactile and weightless. After Wednesday (2018) and Heart Under (2022, Partisan Records), they arrive with We Were Just Here, a third album that pivots from the dense, pressurized moods of its predecessor toward a clearer, more open energy. The guitars still grind and smear, the low end stays deep, the sound design remains sharp, and Ball’s voice hovers above the noise like a steady guide through the haze. Live, these contrasts lock into a tight pulse: hypnotic textures, sudden surges, and a sense of motion that keeps each track edging forward. Expect a focused set that moves between shadow and brightness, with the guests rounding out a night built for immersion rather than spectacle.
