Local not-for-profit gig promotions company Disturbance, in association with host venue No.58 in Central Bar Letterkenny, are proud to present Dublin based Space Rock heroes Wild Rocket, launching their new album Dissociation Mechanics on Saturday 15th July.
Based in Dublin, Wild Rocket have been developing their combination of heavy psych and kraut-infused space punk for the past five years. Since the release of their debut LP Geomagnetic Hallucinations in 2014, the band has gone from strength to strength, performing at the Distorted Perspectives and Reverberation Festivals in Ireland and the Hostsabbat Festival in Norway.
Wild Rocket have shared stages with internationally renowned contemporaries such as Slomatics, Ufomammut, and The Cosmic Dead.
Fronted by Letterkenny man Cian ‘Moose’ Megannety, they’ve built a large following both in Ireland and abroad during this time and this home-coming show is sure to raise the roof off Letterkennys No. 58 venue, upstairs above the Central Bar on the Main Street.
Wild Rocket have gained a reputation for pummelling and immersive live shows laden with infectious energy. This energy has been captured perfectly on their second album
Dissociation Mechanics, which will be released on July 7th through Art For Blind Records.
Dissociation Mechanics explores themes of deep sea and deep space, the repetitive cycles of depression and the self-destruction of civilisations.
The subtext of the album is influenced by the inability of the human race to learn from past mistakes and break calamitous cycles, instead looking to alternate dimensions for escape rather than efforts to change the observed reality. To put it more bluntly, it’s all about getting through life with savage riffs.
In a double headline act, opening up the ‘launch special’ night are Disturbance favourite Gaeilgeoirs, Tuath, headed up by Gaobh Dobhairs Robert Mulhern.
As featured on The Thin Air’s top tracks of 2016 with the eerie and catchy ‘Existence is Futile’, Tuath describe themselves as an “experimental, electronic rock band with psychedelic characteristics”..
Based mostly in Donegal, Tuath are taking a break from their busy schedule of putting together their new EP and getting ready for festivals this summer to treat us to their blend of what top reviewer Nialler9 described as ‘heavenly white ambient noise that wears its wildness proud’.
Having represented Ireland and the Irish language at SUNS Europe in Italy in 2015 and played festivals such as Electric Picnic, Swell Festival and more recently Distorted 
Perspectives Tuath are one not to be missed.
This is an extra special Disturbance as both bands will be launching new material. Tuath are launching a new single entitled ‘Youth’, and as previously mentioned, Wild Rocket are launching a new LP, ‘Dissociation Mechanics’.
Doors are open at 9:30pm with Tuath on stage for 10pm. Admission into No. 58 is only €5.
