Tadgh Billy King

Tadgh is an Irish name. This is how you pronounce it: (English: /taɪɡ, tiːɡ, teɪɡ/, Irish: [t̪ˠəiɡ])

Tadgh's cathartic musicality spans post-punk, goth, noisy hardcore, and math-y punk, and is inspired by such artists as Bauhaus, Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, Joy Division, Nirvana, Radiohead, and contemporary Irish bands such as Fontaines D.C., The Murder Capital, Gilla Band and Just Mustard. At times brash, at times sublimely ethereal, Tadgh’s latest musical project will be introduced through a series of singles.

Tadgh’s earliest memories are of living above a beloved New York City music venue on Houston Street his parent’s owned and operated. During that formative time, he soaked in the rock, punk, jazz, and pop that soundtracked the bar’s existence. This melting pot of sounds would be a template for his own unbound musical explorations.

Tadgh’s parents relocated back home to Ireland, and there, he began seriously studying and performing as a musician and as an actor. His first successful band, The Last Boys, tasted regional success with well-attended shows; buzz-band press coverage; and radio play. But that band only allowed for a part of Tadgh’s prismatic musicality and artistic expression.

"These songs come from personal explorations of trying to make sense of the worlds we inhabit, both on the outside, and within us."
