Otherkin Announce 2017 UK Tour
Grunge-pop band Otherkin are playing The Flapper in Birmingham on 9th March. Dublin-based band members Luke, Conor and David first had the idea for the band in 2013, but Otherkin did not coalesce until they found drummer Rob later that year, drawn together by a shared love of bands like The Clash, QOTSA, Ramones and Blur.
After a couple of hand-made, self-released tracks, Otherkin hit their stride with the rambunctious grunge-pop single “Ay Ay”, which came to the attention of our Irish indie label Rubyworks in early 2015.
The 201 EP – featuring “Ay Ay” and “Feel It” – was a quartet of quivering, shivering thumpers released to coincide with their UK festival debut at Leeds / Reading and their first full-length UK tour. Radio exposure came courtesy of support from Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 and John Kennedy on Radio X, while MTV Rocks added videos for both songs into their new music playlists.
Following the successful releases of the two EPs The 201 & The New Vice (click the links to stream) the band are currently in the studio recording their debut album, which will be released on Rubyworks in 2017.
OTHERKIN are a new band from Dublin.
