A three-piece experimental, improv, and psychedelic band based in Galway City, Ireland. Comprised of Brendan Pooley, Graham Keane, and Antonis Kalamoutsos, Xoanon is an emerging group gearing up to unleash its noisy cinematic sound upon an unsuspecting world. On March 16th, 2024, the band played live while screening the 1928 French silent film The Fall of the House of Usher, directed by Jean Epstein and based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe.

This event was the third in the Oh So Pretty concert series. The soundtrack was audio recorded and combined with the film and published online. Results can be watched and heard in the video above. Please like, share, and subscribe to our YouTube channel!
