Roisin Dubh presents: Dead Bob. After the release of “Life Like” in April of ‘23 John Wright (Nomeansno, Hanson Brothers) had unwittingly launched himself back into the music world. Forming the live band with the amazing talents of Ford Pier (DOA, Reostatics, Vengeance Trio), Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), and Colin MacRae (Pigment Vehicle), Dead Bob began to hone a live sound and quickly became a juggernaut on stage. From the fall of ‘23 they clocked in 130 shows in 2 years in 15 countries and released a single in ‘25 on Antena Krzyku in Poland for the first extensive European tour. Over this time a second record was in the works and as ‘26 dawned the final touches for “Nothing Changes Everything” were completed and preparations for an April 21 release, exactly 3 years after Life Like, were underway. So was a new set. 
Featuring new songs and new old songs and showcasing the range and talent of these players, Dead Bob continues to be dynamic unpredictable and of course, f*****g loud! Doors 7 PM.

Pyramid’s renowned Sunday gig takes place in The Kings Head from 8:30 PM with Ailbhe Hession on keys and vocals. Not to be missed!
