South Dublin Live at ThinkPunk
What a night! Definitely a strong contender to the title of the most epic night at ThinkPunk Studios to date. We’re delighted to see on stage our own members with the project that was born in this very studio, rocking it!
Last Saturday, the 24th of June featured our final instance of BlueBellBeats Series where our community puts on live shows, featuring up and coming artists, giving the stage to members and friends as well as inviting guests to perform and immerse into the unique atmosphere. Our broad community is 200+ people strong and it was great to see so many cheering at Zibbster & Aerte (both on vocals) + Serenity in Chaos (Przemek on bass, Onofrio on guitar, Józef on drums), followed up by the After Party with DJ Other Angle, DJ Froydovsky, DJ FizzyWaters and DJ Marcelo Doval.

It was such a special night…and a very cold one, but everyone had a blast with music on the main stage in the moderated jam session and a freestyle happiness in the rehearsal room, happening at the same time! It was a feast for music, improvisation and collaboration, it also was a celebration for the year for our members and supporters! Awesome night!

There are those nights one will remember for a long long time. Our final gig in the BlueBellBeats Twilight Series was one of them, for sure. Starting with a burst of energy and madness by an amazing Dublin band - Slightly Disheveled and finishing with Bajzel’s one man orchestra magic that got the room jumping in the frenzy of sounds.

Photos from the concert of SVIATYJ at ThinkPunk - a magical night of blues and folk from Galicya.
It was truly mesmerizing, the evening with SVIATYJ with his authenticity, power and magic. You could sense that something extraordinary was happening on our stage and it was taking over the whole room, embracing the audience with something more than just music and words, it was like travelling in space and time and exploring the essence of ones being, touching on the secret of the universe from a perspective of a human being lost at night in the magical forest of thoughts, dreams and fears.

ThinkPunk Friday’s are for games and jams and getting together, mixing styles, languages and smiles; people getting to know each other collaborating and enjoying the whole thing. We have table tennis, fussball table, darts…but most of all we have our music room with no sign ups, no lists, just plug in and play with others. Sometimes it is magical, sometimes not, but always it is unique and amazing.
We are so happy to welcome many new people every time. If you wanna join us for the next Jam&Games you can do so HERE!
Take a look at some photos below and have a listen to a quick selection of tunes from the night!

NEUBRÍ will open our BlueBellBeats Twilight Series on 17th September!
NeuBrí afrobeats mashup coming to ThinkPunk Studios as part of BlueBellBeats Twilight Series.
This autumn we have a packed and diverse programme of music coming to ThinkPunk. It is now the time to announce the band we are really excited to see live as our BlueBellBeats Live opening act on the 17th September. NeuBrí is all about energy, fantastic craftsmanship of the notes and pure happiness on stage and dance floor. The name comes from the word New, and the Irish word ‘Brí’. It means new expression, new energy new vibes. The band loves afrobeats, RnB, hip hop and pop music. But truly whatever genre they play there is always a unique spin on it.
NeuBrí came about quite organically. Michael and Stephen both grew up in Clondalkin and had played with each other a few times before 2020 at church events. Stephen and Leslie met online and had a jam session in early 2020..
We all became closer in 2021 as we began to play with each other more at church gigs and held jam sessions. Our love of music and wanting to do more was often the topic of conversation on journeys home. None of us were thinking about forming a group yet. We kept jamming and as a result became closer.
A close friend was going to hold a birthday party and asked that we perform at it, taking popular afrobeat songs and playing along to them. We jumped at the idea and put together a list of songs that would fit. The friend didn’t end up having the birthday but we had already done so much work that we decided we would release it anyways. This was where NeuBrí was born.
We agreed on what the band would stand for and what we hoped to gain from it. From there we got everything in order for our first release.
Since we started this journey we have been very lucky to play with Irish acts that we do like their music and also headline with one of the biggest artists from nigeria ASAKE.
The year is set to be an amazing run of gigs, we can't wait to announce lots more dates we will be performing live.
For more information, make sure to follow us on all our media platforms @Neubríofficial.
