Mark McCausland (McKowski)
Known as being one half of The Lost Brothers, along with collaborations with M. Ward, Howe Gelb, Jolie Holland, and Nick Power (The Coral). He recently composed the score for the feature film The Spin, which is also based on one of his short stories.
Declan McManus
Declan McManus is a drummer from Omagh and has been playing drums in various guises for more than 20 years. He has played and recorded with multiple artists and bands, including The Basement, Malojian, and The Breeze.
DEAD GOAT was born from four musicians being in a room together, chasing nothing more than the joy of each other’s company and music.
What began as casual jam sessions quickly turned into something more. Songs started to form. Before long, they had amassed more than enough material to record a full album. But when they listened back, they realised the demos already were the album, capturing a rare serendipity that can only exist when four friends record a song moments after it is written.
The self-titled debut album, DEAD GOAT, will be released in March 2026 by AV8 Records.
