Wes Banderson are a band from England who are the brainchild of Adam Znaidi, bassist of The Physics House Band and The Go! Team.
As the name suggests they play songs and score featured in Wes Anderson films like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, Isle of Dogs and more.
The four-piece multi-instrumentalist band play the songs to on-screen animations, and of course are dressed as Team Zissou from The Life Aquatic.
Their first Dublin show happens at The Sugar Club Dublin on Friday 16th May 2025, courtesy of Foggy Notions and U:mack.
Tickets €25 plus fees now on sale.
