DOORS 7PM | SHOW 8PMBAR OPENS AT 6PM ADV $20 | DOS $2521+ Soda Blonde are a four-piece alt-pop band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2019 by Faye ORourke (vocals), Adam ORegan (guitar/keys), Donagh Seaver-OLeary (bass) and Dylan Lynch (drums). The group emerged from the ashes of critically acclaimed indie rock outfit Little Green Cars, moving toward a bolder, more cinematic and emotionally charged sound that blends evocative lyrics with adventurous production. Their music traverses the tension between introspection and ambition, pairing ORourkes distinctive, expressive vocals with genre-defying arrangements that draw comparisons to synth-infused art-pop and emotionally honest songwriting. Soda Blondes debut single Swimming Through the Night immediately marked a stylistic shift for the members, establishing the bands commitment to cinematic hooks and atmospheric grooves. The bands first studio album Small Talk (2021) showcased polished, self-produced songwriting and was nominated for the Choice Music Prize. Their sophomore record Dream Big (2023) expanded their sonic palette and solidified their reputation as one of Irelands most compelling contemporary acts. In 2025, Soda Blonde released the People Pleaser EP and completed an ambitious live orchestral project with the National Symphony Orchestra at Dublins National Concert Hall, captured in both a concert film and a live album. Known for their emotionally charged live performances, bold visuals and genre-spanning sound, Soda Blonde continue to push beyond conventional pop boundaries while maintaining a deeply personal connection to their lyrics and visual storytelling.

Soda BlondeFollowing two successful introductory EPs (2019's “Terrible Hands” and 2020's “Isolation Content”), Soda Blonde released their debut album, “Small Talk”, in 2021. The LP was subsequently nominated for RTÉ’s Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year and received rave reviews from Paste Magazine, Atwood Magazine, and The Irish Times, who called it "a record so articulate and expressive that its title has to be a wry in-joke." Dream Big - the second studio album from Irish band Soda Blonde, is far more than a collection of catchy and cathartic pop songs; it’s a mantra – a mission statement from four lifelong friends. It’s their promise to themselves, and a message to all who come along for the ride: A reminder that life is precious, fragile, and fleeting, so we might as well dream big and hold nothing back.
