Death Milkshake

Death Milkshake is an Irish multi-instrumentalist live looping artist who fuses electronic sounds with an alternative rock edge, creating a unique beat driven hybrid sound. Playing all instruments live, a Death Milkshake live show an impressive a piece of mental gymnastics and an irresistible call to get your body moving.

Taking inspiration from electronic acts like Digitalism, Daft Punk, and LCD Soundsystem, simple driving beats underpin Bass guitar and synth tones layered beneath heavily effected vocals. The danceable disco-punk songs produced have natural flow and dynamics, and in the main, take cues from electronic dance music, post punk and progressive rock with Lyrical content ranging from deliberate social commentary to utterly ridiculous nonsense.

The Death Milkshake project was launched in 2022 and the live show has become a big hit at Irish music festivals with appearances at All Together, Night And Day, Livestock and Éalú Le Grá among others. Other notable shows include playing support to Houseplants, Kishi Bashi, Daithí and Elaine May. The live show has developed from a solo live looping show to a high energy show involving dancers, choreography, stage props etc. which was debuted on some of the larger festival stages in 2025.

‘Shiny Things’, the debut EP from Death milkshake, included 3 previously released singles (Shiny Thing, Megaphone & Algorithm), each released with their own quirky music videos in various styles in the lead up to the EP release. The Singles and the EP itself received hugely positive feedback from fans and media, having been featured on Hot Press, Today FM, RTE 1, RTE 2XM, 8 radio, and various Irish regional radio stations, including a live in-studio performance on Galway Bay FM to celebrate the launch of the EP

EP number 2 will be released in late 2026, with its first single expected to be released in June 2026. The songs which make up EP number 2 move away from the riff based sound in some of the songs on 'Shiny Things' and lean into a more polished electronic sound.
