ClubHeadBangBang at The Greyhound Bar is celebrating its 18th birthday tonight with a concert by two acclaimed music artists.

Music fans can sample a shot of ethereal electronica from Fears followed by a cocktail of post-punk, jazz, spoken word and noise rock from The Robocobra Quartet.

Robocobra Quartet has a rule: “No Guitars Allowed”. Their unique sound, concocted and self-produced in Belfast sees that ‘middle’ space filled by other instruments such as saxophones, samplers, keyboards and sound effects swirling around the melodic basslines and powerful drum rhythms which prop up the core of each of their songs.

On top of this music sits a single vocal from behind the drum kit amid a fury of rhythm, sometimes marrying perfectly with the pulse of the drums and occasionally at complete odds with it.

The result is a collective of musicians inspired by Stravinsky and Black Flag in equal measures, also invoking the likes of Fugazi, Talking Heads and contemporaries such as Black Midi, Squid and BadBadNotGood.

Fears is Irish artist, musician and producer Constance Keane. Combining reflective electronics, acoustic samples, and haunting vocals with organic visuals, Fears invites the listener on an ethereal journey, blurring the boundaries between music and visual art.

Fears has received acclaim across the world, with her music being covered by The Guardian, The Irish Times, The Sunday Times, Clash Magazine, i-D, DJ Mag Spain, Hot Press, Sunday Business Post, Irish Tatler, Noisey, Huck Magazine, BBC Arts, the Irish independent & Nialler9.
