2024-10-25 Zaska - The Grand Social, Dublin

I was looking over old photographs, wondering when and where I first stumbled across Max Zaska .  It turns out that it was back in 2019, at the now defunct Knockanstockan festival. Since then, I've been lucky enough to catch his show a few more times.  They're always a very upbeat affair, full of love, positivity and funky, neo soul vibes that make you want to shake your booty...

Anyway, go catch Zaska live the next time he is in town, you'll love it! Now for some photos:

King Kong Company is a rather interesting name for a band, where or how did you come up with it? The name is taken from the film Taxi Driver. If you look closely, Travis Bickle is wearing a badge which says King
