Saturday 12 September - smachoface - 3 p.m. - Join us for a new demo driven collaborative indie music project “smachoface” featuring Adam O’ Donovan (M'ADAM), hegrá and guests

smachoface is a lo-fi demo driven indie project by local artist and songwriter Adam O’Donovan. Formerly releasing two studio albums under the indie-folk moniker M’ADAM, Adam introduced this new chapter with the lo-fi single Run of the Mill Guyin summer 2024. Under the name smachoface, he explores a hazier, more nonchalant sound, collaborating with local artists to create music that feels half-awake, casual yet existential, ironic but sincere. The project celebrates low-stakes everyday moments, searches for fun amid the quiet disasters of the modern world, wrestles with second-hand cool, and lingers on flashes of hopeful nostalgia.   Book on their Eventbrite.
