Jinx Lennon and Wasps vs Humans bring their mix of punk Antifolk, beats and noise when they return to play Fred Zeppelins on Friday November 1st.

Jinx has been at the periphery of the Irish music scene since the mid eighties playing in Novena Babes, Silver Seeds, Sneaky Pete and The Ostrich before going solo in 1999. Described as ''Ireland's Premier punk poet'', he writes about his own head wrecks, the local oddballs, the drama and the characters of Dundalk border existence and beyond.

2024 has seen Jinx with two Irish tours under his belt, two nights at Glastonbury, a performance on the East European fishing ship 'Ms Stubnitz' in Hamburg, Electric Picnic and recently a stint in Glasgow. His next album, 'The Hate Agents Leer At The Last Isle Of Hope' is set for release in April 2025.

Wasps vs Humans was initially a solo project for punk poet/drummer, Carl Antony Plover. Having partnered up with musician wife Linda Plover, they have honed their distinctive alt punk/folk sound over the last year, releasing their debut album 'Scratchcard Empires' earlier this month.

A reputation for their high octane live performances, their debut album reflects the raw energy, typical of the WvH's sound; an anarchic mix of drums, bodhrán, whistles, punk poetry, songs and beats. Featuring singles, '20 million Andrew Tates', 'Price You Pay' and 'Ugly America', Scratchcard Empires is a dark take on life’s expectations; dealing with disappointment, inner city crime, an obsessive fame craving culture, with a huge dollop of desperation.

Both Jinx and Wasps have shared the stage with the likes of John Cooper Clarke, The Fall, Whipping Boy and Christy Moore. The last Cork gig for 2024, they team up once more with antifolk border schizo fffolkmusic, spoken verbal bile to pull the good side out, neanderthal beats and lyrics with a garage rock state of mind.
