Just Mustard & guests IMBAU
Formed in Dundalk, Ireland, Just Mustard consists of vocalist Katie Ball, guitarists David Noonan (also backing vocals) and Mete Kalyoncuoglu, bassist Rob Clarke, and drummer Shane Maguire. Their heady blend of noise, trip hop, and electronic-influenced music has helped them build a reputation as one of Ireland’s most thrilling new bands, both live and on record. Their 2018 debut ‘Wednesday’ earned acclaim at home and abroad – most notably capturing a RTE Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish Album of the Year.
In summer 2021, the band announced their signing to Partisan records (Idles, Fontaines D.C., Cigarettes After Sex) for their sophomore release ‘Heart Under’. The album was produced by the band and mixed by David Wrench, whose previous collaborators include Frank Ocean, The XX, FKA twigs and beyond. ‘Heart Under’ was one of the most acclaimed rock records of 2022 so, landing #1 on the Independent Album Chart in Ireland, and a current spot at #8 in the
Metacritic Best Albums of 2022 Chart. Within a full marks review NME described the album as ‘thrillingly untraditional’ and warned ‘the Dundalk five piece won’t be put in any boxes at all’ while Pitchfork dubbed the album as ‘immersive and bewildering’.
Just Mustard continued to grow their fantastic live reputation as one of the most talked about bands at SXSW in March 22 ("There’s simply no precedent for much of what Just Mustard is bringing to Shoegaze" - Austin Chronicle) and with a triumphant performance opening the John Peel stage at Glastonbury (“One of the best sets of the weekend”- NME).
The band who have previously supported The Cure, wrapped a worldwide tour with Fontaines D.C. and joined Wolf Alice for some dates before finishing the year with their headline, half way round the world tour of ‘Heart Under’. The band’s second album earned them their second nomination for the RTE Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish Album of the year and was also crowned as Resident Records #1 Album Of The Year.
