First Fortnight come to the Button Factory this Saturday with a Super line up !! Doors at at 7pm.. The first unmissable gig of the year, First Fortnight’s annual Button Factory soiree brings together another typically diverse bill of musical talent aimed at challenging mental health stigma and provoking discussion about mental health issues. We Cut Corners are no strangers to the festival having performed in 2012 and 2013 to huge acclaim. Since then the two-piece have ratcheted up countless more critical plaudits with the release of their fantastic second album, Think Nothing, a record bursting with short, snappy start-stop/ rock-pop performed on drums and guitar. Expect a sensational headline slot. Booka Brass Band are Ireland’s premier New Orleans style brass band. With regular shows all over Dublin, alongside stomping sets at Electric Picnic, Sea Sessions and Longitude, their incredible live energy has brought them a well-deserved level of success. The 8-piece have been known to cover Beyonce’s Crazy In Love and Jason Derulo’s Talk Dirty. We wouldn’t be surprised if collaboration with We Cut Corners is also on the cards. The night will be opened by two of Ireland’s brightest prospects in 2015, the sublime, folk-tinged I Have A Tribe and up-and-coming band, State Lights. We are delighted to announce that Le Galaxie DJs will be closing out the night in style. For just €12 you can expect a night of sublime musical entertainment, but this is also a bill designed to start a conversation and hopefully send you into 2015 with the goal of making real social change and challenging mental health stigma.
