Sun Mahshene are an Irish post-shoegaze band known for their expansive sound, blending layers of swirling guitars, ethereal synths, and driving rhythms.

Drawing inspiration from classic shoegaze pioneers like My Bloody Valentine and Ride, as well as the energy of psych and punk, Sun Mahshene craft music that balances melody and a full-on sonic assault. Their early work, including two EPs later compiled into Space Echoes: The EPs (2022), established their reputation for immersive soundscapes and hypnotic atmospheres.

The band's debut full-length album, A Place We’ve Never Been (2024), further refined their signature sound, featuring standout tracks like Pale Azure, Reverie, and Turning Tide. With its lush production, pulsing rhythms, and emotionally charged songwriting, the album showcased the band's ability to merge introspection with sonic grandeur.

Sun Mahshene’s lineup features Nathan Henderson (vocals, guitar), Robert Crosbie (guitar, vocals), Ian McGinn (guitar), David Hilliard (bass), and Dave Murray (drums). Their dynamic live performances, filled with waves of reverb and distortion mixed with singalong anthems, have earned them a growing following, leading to support slots with major acts—including The Brian Jonestown Massacre in Belfast’s Ulster Hall and Dublin’s 3Olympia.

As they continue to push the boundaries of shoegaze and psychedelic rock, Sun Mahshene remains a band on the rise, creating music that is both immersive and electrifying.
