TP2D8 | Episode TWO - Vultures You Know + Afterwardness
The next wave is coming. After the explosive opening of TP2D8 — we’re stepping straight into Episode Two.
On 1st February, we return with the second iteration of our live series — If Episode One taught us anything, it’s that TP’s own AI — Authentic Initiative — is very real, and it’s fuelled entirely by you: our members, friends and crew.
What’s Happening?
This second instance of our live music series brings two incredible Dublin acts to the new TP home:
VULTURES YOU KNOW (VYK)
A noise‑rock force dealing in loud, heavy, discordant textures — channeling the modern chaos we all move through and turning it into something sharp, raw, and cathartic.
AFTERWARDNESS
An experimental trio sculpting hypnotic, propulsive, atmospheric soundscapes — the kind that pull you in and don’t let go.
Following the gig, all ticket holders are invited to a late‑night Jam Session
This continuation of the ThinkPunk journey of the same raw, unfiltered, community‑powered energy that defined the first night materializes in ThinkPunk’s live series - not just about music; it’s about our HEAVY MEITHEAL, about people building something together in the moment.
Tickets for Members — ON SALE NOW
The booking access is open exclusively to ThinkPunk Members, the people who keep the engine running and the doors open. If you would like to join us and become a member you can do so here.
Capacity in our new home remains intentionally limited — we protect the vibe, the space, and each other. Once it’s full, it’s full.
Live Music at ThinkPunk
TP2D8 is more than a series. It’s the rebirth of our live identity, something many of you waited for since the days of the red doors in JFK. ThinkPunk CLG was built to bring these nights back — nights where creativity isn’t performed at people, but with them. [thinkpunk.org]
See You on 1st February

TP2D8 | Episode ONE - Photos + Thank You’s
What a night! Think Punk was alive with sound, and pure energy as BAJZEL and UnDestroy took the stage and turned it into something electric.
What a night! Think Punk was alive with sound, and pure energy as BAJZEL and UnDestroy took the stage and turned it into something electric. From the first chord to the last encore, the room pulsed with rhythm, voices, and that raw magic only live music can bring.
Some would have a real difficulty to distuinguish between the artists, stage, audience or the crew. Everything became ONE. We learned a few lessons this evening. First of all we realized that TP has developed its own AI. The hype that turned into reality so different, so true, unassuming and authentic. Our own AI - Authentic Inititative :)
Huge thanks to the artists who performed on the night of 21st Novemeber at TP2. Mesmerizing UnDestroy with Mark McMannus (Bass and Voice), Paddy Gilligan (Guitar and Voices), Ross Lee (Piano and Voice), Keelin Lee (Vocals) and Józef Rzepkowski (who never leaves a drumkit unattended).
BAJZEL vel Piotr Piasecki our dear friend and guest - a one man mad orchestra!
We also learned that night a new word from Gaelige - MEITHEAL which refers to traditional practice of community collaboration. This word we embraced and will keep on repeating when talking about our people, members, crew, friends. Best things that happen in ThinkPunk are coming from the c(u)ore. It is the sound of HEAVY MEITHEAL of Inchic(u)roe.
Huge Thanks to the CREW! Our Meitheal consisted of Michał Misior (who produced and directed our first awesome live stream in the new home!) and his crew of misfits: Pawel Wach (on roaming camera), Mariusz Dujka (on Stage Cameras), Tomek Rydzyk (Stage Technician) and Dawid Kondraciuk (Live Stream Sound Mix Engineer). YOU CAN REWATCH THE LIVE RECORDING HERE.
Big thanks to everyone who came, who helped, who smiled and danced. To all members and their guests. Thank you to Maciek Pac for coming in last minute and mixing stage sound. Special thanks to Simon Lazewski for huge help in getting this gig on track and looking after the artists, and most of all for amazing photo documentation of the night below.
PS. and YES we had our Friday JAM too! :)

BAJZEL + UnDestroy | Friday 21 Nov | 20:30
TPD8 Live Music Series opens with BAJZEL and UnDestroy. #core
On Friday 21st November we will mark the start of our Regular Live Music Nights followed by a jam session till late. We thought of no better person to open them than > B A J Z E L < who has been a guest performer in the studio for many years, with first gig back in 2016 in JFK (Gas Sound pre TP1).
BAJZEL is a legend of alternative music scene, performing around the world with his one man orchestra symphony of sounds and fun.
We are also excited to announce that one of our own Mark McManus will perform as part of ‘UnDestroy’ a three-piece from Dublin/Drogheda formed from the ashes of previous incarnation ‘Zorilla’. Piano, Bass and Guitar, whirling noises and accompanying voices are what comprises their sound.
They like to create on-the-spot soundscapes based on prior conversations. Their compositions mark time and space then drift off into the ether. Though hard to define, their sound is akin to a lounge lizard arguing with a rampaging buffalo, while traversing the perimeter of an extremely unsteady helter skelter.
Members are Paddy Gilligan (AKA Gillo) on guitar and voices, Ross Lee (Piano and voice) and Mark McManus (Bass and voice).
Their self-titled debut Album will be released on Zorillapunk Records in 2026.
