Eyedress to play at Whelans

Eyedress is the brainchild of 23 year old Manila based producer and filmmaker Idris Vicuña.

He experimented with music when moving back to the Philippines from Phoenix, Arizona when he was 15. Idris was quickly introduced to beat making.
“Eventually I started to think they could be songs so I started singing” he says, “I wrote about a girl I was with at the time. I was kind of miserable. She slept with someone else…”

On lead single ‘Nature Trips’. Some will be surprised to find it’s Idris singing, not a genderless super-computer. “I’m not the Alpha Male kind of guy” says Idris
“ I performed in front of ‘bro’ friends and tried to pretend ‘oh, I don’t sing like that duuuude."

He is famed for his constantly changing live performance, which can be confrontational, abrasive, or beautiful.
“I can get aggressive like a rapper,” he says, describing a performance with How To Dress Well in Manila this year that was 100% “turned p”. “I was being really wild at the time. I’ll stage dive. I’ll try to be like A$AP Ferg or Lil’ Wayne”.

It’s sure to be an intense and electrified evening.
