Kerbdog, will perform their entire self-titled debut album across four Irish cities this September and October. The cult Irish alt-rock quartet will play in Kilkenny, Cork, Belfast, and Dublin and will be supported by Aoife Destruction & The Nilz in Kilkenny, Dublin and Cork, The Hujas in Kilkenny and Sky Pilot in Belfast.
Originating from Kilkenny, Kerbdog comprises Cormac Battle (guitar/vocals), Colin Fennelly (bass), Billy Dalton (guitar), and Darragh Butler (drums). Celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1994 debut, the band is eager to reconnect with fans who have supported them from the start. Known for their blend of indie and metal, Kerbdog quickly rose to fame in the mid-90s, signing with Mercury Records and recording with renowned producer Jack Endino. Despite setbacks after their promising second album "On The Turn," their dedicated fanbase has kept their legacy alive. Following a successful sold-out tour in 2023, Kerbdog is poised to captivate audiences once again with their heavyweight sound in 2024.
Tour dates for their 30th Anniversary Shows include:
Friday 20th September (Supported by Aoife Destruction & The Nilz and The Hujas) - Kilkenny, The Set Theatre - SOLD OUT
Saturday 21st September (Supported by Aoife Destruction & The Nilz) - Cork, Cyprus Avenue

Aoife Destruction & The Nilz from Dublin, born out of a late night drink fuelled conversation at an afterparty at Rebellion Punk Festival in Blackpool England in August 2023 where both bands were performing (Aoife is co-vocalist in Paranoid Visions).
Aoife had previously contributed to The Nilz debut album 'Unicorn Hardsports' in 2021 on the track 'So' and had jumped up on stage with the band a couple of times to perform it live.
Aoife Destruction & The Nilz combines aggressive comedic tones with catchy laments and choruses that will haunt your dreams.
Skypilot
Born in 2002, Skypilot have been following their own distinct path through the past 15 yrs. Drawing their influences from a wide and varied collection of bands and genres SKYPILOT simply play what feels right, making them notoriously hard to pigeon hole into any one area of the rock music spectrum.
This approach has served them well so far. Numerous Irish tours have come and gone with bands such as END OF LEVEL BOSS, FIREBIRD, GENTLEMANS PISTOLS and SUNS OF THUNDER. Full UK tours with fellow NI band STAND-UP GUY saw SKYPILOT cement their reputation on the mainland and win new fans wherever they played. More high profile gigs followed with the like of BRANT BJORK AND THE BROS, PLANET OF ZEUS and the mighty CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, shows that boosted the bands profile and proved SKYPILOT are comfortable in the big venues as well as the regular club stages.
With 4 EP’s and a full length debut album under their belt, Skypilot show no signs of slowing down.
The Hujas are a Kilkenny based trio consisting of Alan Lawlor's guitar/ vocals, Barry Muldowney bass guitar/keys and Conor Brett on drums. The Hujas debut album Somethings Broken is out now on Spotify , iTunes , YouTube
