Basht.

On 27 October 2026 at Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, United Kingdom, Basht. roll in from Dublin with a guitar-led strain of alternative and indie rock. Fronted by singer Jack Leavey, the quintet — Sam Duffy and Rossa Healy on guitars, Louis Christle on bass, Luke O’Neill on drums — construit des morceaux où les lignes vocales mélodiques se frottent à des textures saturées et à des rythmiques tendues. On stage, the band plays with dynamics, gliding from clipped, driving riffs to broader, more atmospheric passages without losing the thread.

Basht. have road-tested their sound across clubs in Ireland, the UK and Europe, sharing stages with Wunderhorse, Been Stellar and Goo Goo Dolls, and appearing at Electric Picnic, All Together Now and Supersonic’s Block Party in Paris. Their first EP, Dirty White Lies, set the tone; Bitter & Twisted, released in 2025 on Lab Records, sharpens the focus with guitar-centred cuts that balance urgency and introspection. Live, those contrasts find a clear shape: songs that hit straight, leave space for hooks to breathe, and keep the tension simmering from start to finish.
