Cork noise-rock trio Therapy Horse set to debut at Fred Zeppelin's

Therapy Horse jamming sessions yielded the bones of a long form set for their live show.

“Myself and Cormac have known each other since, I’d say about 2022, because we met while we were both working in UCC 98.3FM. I think we bonded because we are, in the most affectionate way possible, a very nerdy band. I think we were actually just messing around in the UCC studio, when we were meant to be working, and I had a few songs that I’d messed around with, just a few little demos and scraps for fun, doing a lot of plucking away on the guitar at home.
That process of jamming things out has yielded the bones of a longform set that forms the basis of their live debut at the rock ‘n’ roll stronghold of Fred Zeppelin’s on Saturday, March 22 — a process whose stages of pre-production, rewrites and polish denote a careful foundation laid under all the reverb and ramification.

It’s a well-worn trope that Fredz is itself something of a survivor on Cork’s music scene — marking 25 years last year — but Dollery is also effusive in her praise for the red room upstairs on Parliament Street, explaining its role in her own life and those of her bandmates.
Therapy Horse headline at Fred Zeppelin’s on Saturday, March 22, with from Delph and Ether. Doors 9pm, tickets €5 available on eventbrite.ie, or on the door.
