ThinkPunk Xmas Xtravaganza - photos from the night

We knew that this was going to be epic. With such a vibrant and dedicated community we were expecting mighty craic! But what this turned out to be was possibly the best gathering of happy souls TP has experienced to date!

DONATE

LIVE MUSIC

Our line up was the one to remember - with JAKUB & MARTA setting the tone and bringing some melancholy to the room, with stunning vocals and mesmerizing guitar. Followed up by LIGHTING PHILL a one man blues orchestra, who simply took over the space and filled it with amazement, some sort of magic, of a guitar, harmonica, charisma and power of his voice. Next up it was HEAT - five musicians, filled with positive energy and happiness, taking over ThinkPunk stage and owning the vibes that were shared by the audience, dancing to space funk. And finally BELLA with her TP XMAS ORCHESTRA and truly out of this world vocals, beautiful arrangements and freedom of expression. A cherry on the top, jazz and energy, fun and passion. Music for our souls.

DECKS

DjFizzyWaters made sure that the DJ room was hopping. Not only that actually Kamil R was also the one who prepared most of the snacks with his magic Chef’s skills. We had Steven on the decks in his christmas spirit you could easily trade Jingle Bells for techno and never go back.

With guest Dj’s and the crowd definitely wearing their dancing shoes our rehearsal space, formerly known as Kondysya was taken over by the Beat.

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

An event like this does not just pop up out of nowhere. It was the people who helped creating it, preparing, putting their heart into making it an experience to be enjoyed by everyone in attendance. Ania looked after the logistics of collecting hand made Pierogi (by Ashka) and helped with getting the food counter operational. She also brought the smile, the one that she always bring to TP, the contagious one. Silent heroes Gustaw and Marta fixed our table tennis table and made some essential repairs ahead of the gig, but most of all brought delicious pastries those that all loved with Jakub being the biggest fan. :)

If anyone ever wondered how to sound good, they should talk to Dawid. The man who is responsible for the signature sounds of TP, a passionate sound engineer, praised by all who were ever performing at TP. Sound Dawid. Sound.

There was also Tomek who gets his cameras to record nothing else but a proper document about this time, the time we are alive.

And then it was this beautiful crowd - all of you crazy people, we thank you for being part of this journey with us. Keep on rocking!

MEMORIES

We all have our own. Some may have them a little bit blurred though, but surely the memories were good! Nonetheless we are blessed with Simon Lazewski who is our resident photographer and each time there is something going on in the studios, he takes his camera and turns our reality into beautiful memories. Btw he was also the one who cleaned the toilets and mopped the floor before the gig :). Pure Soul. Pure Art.

Here is a selection of the photos from the night by Simon! Enjoy!

South Dublin Live at ThinkPunk

What a night! Definitely a strong contender to the title of the most epic night at ThinkPunk Studios to date. We’re delighted to see on stage our own members with the project that was born in this very studio, rocking it!

Last Saturday, the 24th of June featured our final instance of BlueBellBeats Series where our community puts on live shows, featuring up and coming artists, giving the stage to members and friends as well as inviting guests to perform and immerse into the unique atmosphere. Our broad community is 200+ people strong and it was great to see so many cheering at Zibbster & Aerte (both on vocals) + Serenity in Chaos (Przemek on bass, Onofrio on guitar, Józef on drums), followed up by the After Party with DJ Other Angle, DJ Froydovsky, DJ FizzyWaters and DJ Marcelo Doval.

We are very thankful to South Dublin County Arts Office and NOISE music for the support. It is really reassuring when you know that the community that has built this place from ground up has such a strong and dedicated support in the county, we are very very grateful.

Thanks to the crew who made it all happen so smoothly and brougt so much fun to organizing yet another event in TP:

First Live Show at ThinkPunk Studios

On 2nd of July 2021 we have hosted our first Live Gig at ThinkPunk. It was a part of PolskaÉire Festival which runs continuously from 2015, and we have been involved in production and selection of music for the festival since then. This time for obvious reasons the concert had taken place online.

The idea for the festival and the concert itself is to showcase the talent from both Ireland and Poland, give the stage to up and coming artists as well as invite well established big names from the music scene in both countries. The musicians have been collaborating on our stage for years, enjoying the act of creation as well as meeting of the like minded musicians and working on something special to entertain the audience in Ireland.

This time with travel restrictions in space we turned to the internet, which in a way allowed us to expand the experience and involve both audiences and artists from far away as well as produced our very own set up in the studios.

With appearances from Greg Clifford, Marlea, Ronan O’Snodaigh, Jacek Szymkiewicz, Kayah and the Fusion Band with Dawid Kondraciuk, Jozef Rzepkowski, Barnaba Dorda and Marcin Nowak we truly had a blast and a fun evening.
