Bad Mothers Union

A whirling dervish of unbridled self-expression, Bad Mothers Union unleash torrents of euphoric psych-rock.

Established in Kilkenny by front man Conor Kavanagh, during Bad Mothers Union’s existence they have focused on forging a community of like-minded individuals, bands and artists with the view that no crowd or venue is too small.

They are driven by the unshakeable need to share their artistic vision with the world. Eschewing the standard approach to membership, the band act as a musical collective, thriving on collaboration and what each player’s voice brings to their sonic tapestry. The current line-up is Conor Kavanagh (vocals/guitar), Joel Pitcher (guitar), Shay English (bass), Ethan Corcoran (bass/vocals), James O’Neill (drums/percussion), Tomas Hynes (guitar/vocals) and Tim Flood(percussion/vocals/guitar).

Drawing on influences musical and beyond, the band cite Turnstile, Boris and Tool along with some David Lynch adding a surrealist twist to the expansiveness of their music.
