Basement Demos: Arcy Drive
UK/Ireland Tour '25
Earlier this year, word got out that our pals in Arcy Drive were headed across the pond to play their first shows in the UK and Ireland. What we lacked in plane tickets to tag along was made up by 6-7 disposable cameras to document the journey for us. The result far exceeded our expectations, and when we came to the band with a rough draft of a magazine covering the tour, all of us thought, “Sick. But how the hell could we make this thing even cooler?”
Enter Nick, Brooke, Pat, Austin and their manager, Lou. What began as a small zine turned into a full-blown 100-page collaboration full of stories, drawings, blurbs, and even more photos from the road taken by Arcy Drive’s photographer for the tour, Cara Kealy. Follow along as the band toured through Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, London and more. Trips in the van, shots from soundcheck, show after show, and a pint of Guinness here and there.
Introducing the first edition of Basement Demos - a collaborative project between artist and publisher that ventures beyond the walls of the basement. A big thank you to the Arcy Drive crew and Cara for helping our vision go to print. Copies now available at basmentmag.co. Cheers mate.
