This will be Dream Wife’s return to Dublin following their spectacular performance at Energia Park.
The band consists of Rakel Mjöll (lead vocals), Alice Go (guitar and vocals) and Bella Podpadec (bass and vocals). Since forming in 2015 as part of a performance art project for college, Dream Wife have become one of the foremost up-and-coming bands out of the U.K. They have garnered praise for their ferocious live shows, which saw them sell out venues across U.K. and Europe, tour the U.S. with the Kills and play festival stages all over the world.
Their name- Dream Wife- was chosen as a commentary on society’s objectification of women. “The 1950s American Dream stereotype package. Having the dream house, the dream car and the dream wife,” they explain. “We want to flip the script on that. Women aren’t objects; we don’t just fit into one mold. At the start, we joked around calling each other our wives, but by supporting one another, celebrating achievements together and finding strength in female solidarity we’re reclaiming the concept of a ‘wife’. Being in a band is a marriage in itself.”
The show will take place on 17th October.
