Subterranean Sounds is hosting the return to Waterford of Whozyerman?
Following on from the conclusion of O Emperor and their Choice Music Prize-winning final album 'Jason', front man Paul Savage adopted the Whozyerman? moniker and embarked on new solo material which embraced a more low-fi aesthetic.
He has since released a single, a 4-track EP and in February 2023, the album, 'BLINK'. Drum machine and layered sounds allowed Paul's influences shine through, along with artists such as Lemonjelly, Laurie Anderson and Animal Collective to name a few.
