Somebody's Child

In the organizer's words:

Somebody's Child bring their fresh indie sound back on tour

Presented by kulturnews, bedroomdisco and curt

Cian Godfrey, frontman and creative mind of Somebody's Child, is leading a band that is redefining indie pop. Growing up in Dublin, Godfrey began his musical journey at the tender age of five. Today, together with his band, he is at the forefront of a new generation of musicians who focus not only on melody but also on emotion. Somebody's Child's music is a balancing act between euphoria and melancholy. With colorful synthesizers, precise beats and a voice that oscillates between vulnerability and rebellion, the band creates a sound that stays with you. In songs such as "Broken Record", "I Need Ya" and "We Could Start a War", the group deals with themes such as isolation, frustration and the inner struggle in a world full of contradictions. It's no wonder that the self-titled debut album 2023 caused a sensation in Ireland and made the Irish band the hope of the national music scene. But Somebody's Child want more. Their new album "When Youth Fades Away", recorded in Connecticut with Grammy-winning producer Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), marks an artistic turning point. Inspired by electronic pioneers such as Kraftwerk, the band ventures into new soundscapes. The album reflects growing older - not sentimentally, but with the urge for renewal. "We deliberately took time out from writing to come back with a fresh perspective," says singer Godfrey. The creative process was radical: the band stopped consuming music in order to free themselves from influences. "We only wanted to listen to artists that we couldn't possibly imitate. Even if we had tried, we wouldn't have sounded like them." Somebody's Child is no longer an insider tip. Sold-out shows in the UK, Ireland and Europe, appearances with The War on Drugs, Bloc Party and Kings of Leon - their live performance is electrifying and authentic. 2024 sees the crowning glory: a headline show at the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin and a main stage appearance at the Electric Picnic Festival. And now the Irish indie whirlwind is coming to Germany. Somebody's Child will be playing five concerts in November, an opportunity not to be missed. Because as Godfrey himself says: "There is no Somebody's Child - it's just a performance that helps us process our lives." And this idea becomes reality on stage.
