Bricknasty

Spearheaded by Ballymun native, frontman and guitarist Fatboy, Bricknasty is the product of a group raised by the internet and grounded in community spirit. The result of Fatboy and producer Cillian McCauley’s chance encounter on Soundcloud, the pair’s online relationship later expanded to a fully fledged physical band with the introduction of Dara Abdurahman (bass), Korey Thomas (drums) and Louis Younge (sax/keys). Sitting somewhere in the venn diagram intersection between Untitled Unmastered era Kendrick Lamar, D’Angelo and the iconic punk-folk poetry of Dublin’s Damien Dempsey, their unorthodox sound and uncompromising storytelling is the product of dedicated musicianship as much as it is the chronically online resourcefulness of the DIY generation.
