Mascot

Newly formed Dublin based band.

Clara Tracey
Iain George
Emily Tracey
Hugh Creswell

New collaboration formed by Clara and Iain after they met in April 2017.

Clara had been on the hunt to find the right technological wizard to psychedelicize her songs when Iain waltzed in with not just the technological knowhow but the same visceral vision for performances, aesthetics and theatrics.

When an old Mascot Diamond series organ from the 70s turned up on Adverts.ie and they rescued it from an attic in Swords for fifty quid and started the band.

Clara, Iain and Hugh now live together and have set up the Mascot studio (pictured) where they have spent the last couple of months jamming out trippy analog arrangements to Clara’s songs and new Mascot inspired creations. Emily, Clara’s sister is a regular on the scene and adds a Staves-in-Wonderland dimension to the sound.

"Hugely promising new Dublin act whose Hard Working Class Heroes festival turn at the Workman’s Club was a lesson in infectious noise, driving Kraut-psych and alluring hard-knock grooves" Nialler9
