Martina And The Moons
Martina And The Moons are a Dublin based all-female four-piece rock band who have released several great singles since late 2023. Their most recent single ‘Laundry Mat’ was released through Rubarb Music – the newly launched artist development label from GRAMMY award-winning producer Ruadhrí Cushnan. Since the summer the band have performed at two key music showcase events in Ireland – Output Music Conference in Belfast and Ireland Music Week in Dublin.
Delush
Delush are a fun-loving rock band from Tallaght with big sounding songs and an infectious energy. They recently signed a publishing deal with Magic Mountain Songs and Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol) and over the summer were hand-picked by Jerry Fish to perform on his stage on the Saturday evening of Electric Picnic 2025 as well as a recent headline show in The Grand Special. Their debut EP – recorded in Attica Studios – will be released over the coming weeks.
Alky
Alky is musician Barry Reid – an indie-rock artist from Dublin – who released his debut single in August 2024. He has a very distinctive sound which is a blend of up-tempo rock and driving rhythms, juxtaposed with introspective lyrics and a baritone vocal style, exemplifying the indie-rock genre. This year he has performed headline shows in Whelan’s and The Workman’s Club and on 24 October he released his debut album ‘Rinse And Repeat’.
Admission to Tilt #36 is free, with doors opening at 7:30pm. This is an over 18s event. Free tickets can be reserved at Ticketmaster.ie/Tilt and on the Universe platform.
