The New York-based queer punk duo will be making their their way to Ireland next April.
Formed in 2013 after guitarist Ben Hopkins and drummer Liv Bruce bonded over bringing drag culture and performance art into upstate New York's D.I.Y. scene, PWR BTTM launched their first EP, Cinderella Beauty Shop, back in 2014.
With its raw pop-punk and garage rock sound, it immediately drew comparisons to the likes of queercore pioneers Pansy Division and God Is My Co-Pilot.
Following extensive touring, the duo released their debut LP Ugly Cherries in the U.S. back in September 2015. Earning rave reviews for their take on queer punk, the album was issued the following year in the U.K. and Europe.
Tickets for the Workman's gig are priced at €13 and are on sale now through ticketmaster.ie & usual outlets nationwide.
