Bricknasty / Easy Tide / Sloucho – Black Law tour live gallery and review from 3Olympia Dublin 06.12.25

Ballymun’s Bricknasty blew the roof off the Olympia on Saturday night. Their singular groove proving once again why they might be the most underrated act in the country.

A packed hometown room gave them the welcome they deserved. From the first riff, the band had the place in a frenzy. In true Bricknasty fashion, almost predatory basslines shook the room to bits. Frontman Fatboy’s vocals swung effortlessly between a soulful clarity and raw improvisation while the band behind him were given all the space to breathe and improvise. The set unraveled like a mixtape – each track bled seamlessly into the next. It was slick and executed with a looseness that made everything feel alive in the moment.

If there’s homegrown talent to keep your eyes on, it’s these guys. Hearing something so genuinely fresh coming from an Irish act should make anyone optimistic for the country’s still-evolving soul movement.

Support on the night came from Navan’s Easy Tide and the genre-bending DJ Sloucho, setting the tone for what became a standout evening for new Irish music.
