NEUBRí - photos from the night of 17 Sept in ThinkPunk
It was a truly great night with NEUBRÍ energizing the space with their own take on some classics from around the world followed up by the super vibrant and multifaceted afrobeats set, that had the crowd dancing!
As we do with the concert over, we went smoothly into an open jam session which was one of the best this place have seen so far!
Take a look at some photos from the night taken by Lukasz Pedlowski!
Performances supported by South Dublin Arts Office and the Dept. of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media through their Live Local Performance Scheme.
NEUBRÍ will open our BlueBellBeats Twilight Series on 17th September!
NeuBrí afrobeats mashup coming to ThinkPunk Studios as part of BlueBellBeats Twilight Series.
This autumn we have a packed and diverse programme of music coming to ThinkPunk. It is now the time to announce the band we are really excited to see live as our BlueBellBeats Live opening act on the 17th September. NeuBrí is all about energy, fantastic craftsmanship of the notes and pure happiness on stage and dance floor. The name comes from the word New, and the Irish word ‘Brí’. It means new expression, new energy new vibes. The band loves afrobeats, RnB, hip hop and pop music. But truly whatever genre they play there is always a unique spin on it.
NeuBrí came about quite organically. Michael and Stephen both grew up in Clondalkin and had played with each other a few times before 2020 at church events. Stephen and Leslie met online and had a jam session in early 2020..
We all became closer in 2021 as we began to play with each other more at church gigs and held jam sessions. Our love of music and wanting to do more was often the topic of conversation on journeys home. None of us were thinking about forming a group yet. We kept jamming and as a result became closer.
A close friend was going to hold a birthday party and asked that we perform at it, taking popular afrobeat songs and playing along to them. We jumped at the idea and put together a list of songs that would fit. The friend didn’t end up having the birthday but we had already done so much work that we decided we would release it anyways. This was where NeuBrí was born.
We agreed on what the band would stand for and what we hoped to gain from it. From there we got everything in order for our first release.
Since we started this journey we have been very lucky to play with Irish acts that we do like their music and also headline with one of the biggest artists from nigeria ASAKE.
The year is set to be an amazing run of gigs, we can't wait to announce lots more dates we will be performing live.
