Mhaol at The 13th Floor

Mar 14, 2025

12:00am – 12:40am CT

The 13th Floor

This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Thursday, March 13 at The 13th Floor

Based in Dublin, Belfast, and London, Irish intersectional feminist firebrands M(h)aol — Constance Keane (She/Her), Jamie Hyland (She/Her), and Sean Nolan (He/Him) — have built a reputation for thrilling live performances, fostering an atmosphere that encourages community and catharsis regardless of where they play. Signed to Merge after an electric SXSW set, the unit follows the North American reissue of Attachment Styles and February single “Pursuit” with “Snare”, a noisy and driving song that springs loose from gender expectations with sneering wit.

Pitchfork
The rising Dublin band M(h)aol are a testament to the vitality of Ireland’s current post-punk scene.

The Guardian
★★★★
“A series of fearless moments that centre on intersectional feminism and reclamation of power, underpinned by a soundtrack of clattering drums and jagged, dissonant guitars.”

LOUDER
★★★★ ½
“Delivered with innovation and imagination, Attachment Styles is vital, exhilarating, and an essential listen.”
