Following the announcement of their eagerly-awaited debut album ‘Holy Show’ last month, Dublin four piece Big Sleep are back with their new single “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo”.
Described by the band as “A doo wop/rockabilly break-up tune”, “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo” finds the band in one of their more upbeat guises to date. While normally ones to pursue a more atmospheric and emotive aesthetic, this new offering highlights some of their more energetic ideas, and sets the stage for ‘Holy Show’ to be a truly eclectic and diverse listen throughout.
At its core, ‘Holy Show’ is an album about transience; the messiness of love, the beauty in impermanence, and the constant transformation that occurs as we stumble through connection, heartbreak, and growth. Named after the Irish expression “a holy show” (a scene of emotional chaos or public embarrassment), each track on the album becomes a chapter in a coming-of-age story grounded in vulnerability and cinematic lyricism.
Over the last 18 months, Big Sleep have featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday, The Other List, and All New Rock, while clocking up consistent international radio play, being named one of RTÉ’s Rising Artists of 2024, and appearing at Forbidden Fruit, Indiependence, All Together Now, Beyond The Pale, Latitude, and Electric Picnic.
ABOUT BIG SLEEP
Big Sleep are a Dublin-based rock band making their name the old-fashioned way; through tireless gigging and a shared passion for live performance. From underground tunnel shows beneath the M50 to sold-out European tours, their journey is one of instinct, connection, and constant evolution. Formed by lead vocalist Rónán Connolly and Italian drummer Matteo Poli, the band later solidified with bassist Aidan Gray and guitarist Naiara Clarke LaFuente, who joined after a chance encounter involving an illegal rave, a forest, and a homemade stage.
Their debut album ‘Holy Show’ is a conceptually rich and emotionally vulnerable collection that explores love, loss, and identity. In Ireland, a “holy show” refers to a messy situation, and each of the album’s ten tracks delves into its own emotional chaos. Whether it’s the Whether it’s the dream state melancholy of ‘Top of the Pops’or the more volatile, rhythm-heavy cuts like “Flatline” and “Bruiser,” Big Sleep balance introspective storytelling with raw unpredictability.
Split into two thematic halves, ‘Holy Show’ moves from youthful nostalgia and idealism on Side A, to heartbreak and disillusionment on Side B, before circling back to hope and gratitude closing tracks “Be Alright” and “Old Friend.” It’s a bold, dynamic debut that draws on influences from The Cure to Pixies to Bon Iver, but remains distinctly their own.
Having already earned fans from Bristol to Copenhagen, Big Sleep are currently on their biggest UK and European headline tour to date. With a live show that transforms their studio sound into something visceral and raw, the band are quickly carving out their place in modern rock.
