Irish indie rock.

Basht. is made up of lead vocalist Jack Leavey, guitarists Sam Duffy and Rossa Healy, bassist Louis Christle and drummer Luke O’Neill.

The group’s trajectory significantly rose in 2023, marked by tour support for Wunderhorse in both the UK and Ireland, along with performances alongside Bdrmm and Goo Goo Dolls. They also graced several festivals, including Mutations, Electric Picnic, and All Together Now, and achieved the milestone of selling out their first two London headline shows at The Sebright Arms for a Communion Music showcase and The Social.
In 2024, Basht released their debut EP, Dirty White Lies, through Our House [Freak Slug, ELI, OhEm], produced by Thom Lewis [Sam Fender]. The EP's tracks were featured on Spotify’s Hot New Bands, Melomania, and Proper Belters playlists.

In April 2024, Basht embarked on their sold-out debut headline UK and Ireland tour in support of Dirty White Lies. In September they return supporting Dead Letter.
