Calling themselves the ‘Misfits of the Irish Society’ this band have been formed in Dublin with the intention of encouraging freedom and individuality. They believe in expression through creativity and range within a few genres like hip hop, rap, soul, indie, alternative and electronic. The Blackfish collective did not believe that they were growing up in a society that held their vision, so they decided to make their own. The members of this band do not see any lines of limitation and instead create alter egos that bring to life any experimental sounds that their heart desires with one thing in common, excellence.
The characters within this band are called DemiGosh, Prettyboy Francis, The Vice, Mo-Tabs Caleb and Prncss. This world they have created consists of heroes and villains and they do not want to be put in a box but instead let their creativity run free.
