Death Milkshake
Energetic live-looped dance-punk music made in a yurt in the west of Ireland
About Death Milkshake
Death Milkshake is an Irish multi-instrumentalist live looping artist who fuses electronic sounds with an alternative rock edge, creating a unique beat driven hybrid sound. Playing all instruments live, a Death Milkshake live show an impressive a piece of mental gymnastics and an irresistible call to get your body moving.
Taking inspiration from electronic acts like Digitalism, Daft Punk, and LCD Soundsystem, simple driving beats underpin Bass guitar and synth tones layered beneath heavily effected vocals. The danceable disco-punk songs produced have natural flow and dynamics, and in the main, take cues from electronic dance music, post punk and progressive rock with Lyrical content ranging from deliberate social commentary to utterly ridiculous nonsense.
The Death Milkshake project was launched in 2022 and the live show has become a hit at Irish music festivals wit appearances at All Together, Night And Day, Livestock and Éalú Le Grá. Other notable shows include playing support to Daithí and Elaine May, and a sold out home-town EP launch show in April 2024.
That EP, ‘Shiny Things’, the debut from Death milkshake, included 3 previously released singles Shiny Thing, Megaphone & Algorithm, each released with their own quirky music videos in various styles in the lead up to the EP release. The Singles and the EP itself have received hugely positive feedback from fans and media, having been featured on Hot Press, Today FM, RTE 1, RTE 2XM, 8 radio, and various Irish regional radio stations. Megaphone was chosen as the ‘Nessy-Recommends’ track of the week on RTE 2XM during it’s release week.
The EP was celebrated with the first Death Milkshake live-in-studio radio performance on Galway Bay FM, followed by a sold-out EP launch show in the historic Edmondstown House in Ballaghaderreen Co Roscommon where the artist is based.
2025 will begin with the next Death Milkshake single ‘Gravity’ to be released on January 8th.
