  • On this edition of Upgrade Sounds - I'm joined by Irish alternative artist; Bambie Thug. Bambie tells us all about their journey from the very beginning in rural Ireland to where they find themselves now, about to perform on Eurovision in front of the whole world. This was an incredible conversation that left me thinking about it for days after. Welcome to Upgrade Sounds.

    It’s intriguing to have someone visually be so unique and yet talk so gracefully and profoundly.
    A true artist.

      yes, Bambie Thug is such a graceful yet profound name. Also there's nothing unique about her look, it wasn't edgy 30 years ago and it isn't edgy now, she's hiding behind it.

    When they are speaking about their mental health I feel we are in the very similar state and it really saddens me that they are probably suffering just as much as me. Depression sucks so bad. Stay strong Bambie! Sending you all my love!

    FINALLY a longer form interview with Bambie - I've been dying to hear more from them - I'm a bit obsessed at the moment! FWIW, I've been visualizing Bambie winning Eurovision. Anyone else into Bambie, and prayer, or workings, or visualizations, or rituals, or straight up witchcraft - however you want to call it - let's give the universe a little shove in the way we'd like to for Bambie. ;P

      i am russian, we (country) completely forgot about Eurovision, but I really wanted to watch Eurovision, it was wonderful, Ireland impressed me very much. I'm so sad to know that our russian audience did not appreciate Eurovision 2024. and there is still very little information in Russian about Bambie, and my English is not very good.

She's from Cork so she wins anyway but this interview answered all questions and @Nels you did a great job , less is definitely more when it comes to interviewing.
