Beaming A Moments Reflection
Slap in the face for those hopeless, who continue to stimulate themselves with technologies idols.
Drifting somewhere between life and oblivion, re-emerge clean and unknown.
A blip into the past, constant rising and collapse, nothing changed.
The light has gone out, just carbon for the stars.
Thee U.F.O Started by Darragh Hansard & Beth Doyle, initially formed as an Industrial noise duo were the couple would wear wigs and boiler suits, they quickly shifted gears bringing forward some of Darragh’s Psychedelic Garage songs from a previous band and writing some softer Anti Folk songs. Thee U.F.O now find themselves melding their first incarnation of abrasive noise with psychedelic driven song writing. The Band began post covid gigs playing with the likes of Lifts, Search Results & Many more, Playing the Workmans Bank Holiday shows, Whelans Midnight Hour & Freehouse Gigs In galway, including DIY shows hosted by the Band themselves. The bands 2022 release ‘Ponderous Fug’ embodies these worlds meeting with songs like ‘Operator’ being a full aural assault, and ‘Transparent Seed’ giving flavors of Krautrock and Punk.
