The Null Club
Known as being the guitarist of Gilla Band as well as a producer, Alan Duggan-Borges returns with a new single as The Null Club featuring Miss Grit. Alan has spent the last few years writing and producing music using an array of old synths, drum machines, and guitars – leaning into noise, techno and experimental hip hop, as well as post-punk. This project has created an opportunity to explore genres and styles of music outside of Gilla Band that Alan has never done before, as well as being completely in control of the production and instrumentation.
On 4th April, he released his debut EP under the same name of The Null Club, featuring Faris Badwan of The Horrors, Valentine Caulfield of Mandy, Indiana, and ELUCID of Armand Hammer. Since then, The Null Club has been performing live as a solo entity. There are numerous synths, noise machines, guitars, and many pedals on stage all being looped into different amps to bring the songs to life in a live setting. Northern Transmissions described the debut London show as “incredible; it felt very interactive, almost, and raw, witnessing not just the actions but the thought process and preparations as well.” The Null Club has performed in Ireland, The UK, and Germany as well as supported Model/Actriz in Brussels and Paris and The Horrors in Dublin.
The new single “Overgrown” features Miss Grit and leans heavy into Techno and Noise. It is self-released on a limited run of 100 12” records on a label ran by Alan and his wife. It was mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), and mastered by Jamie Hyland (M(h)aol). The instrumental was performed and recorded by Alan in his rehearsal studio in Dublin, Ireland.
