Music career

After a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007, Stack returned to Galway to launch Latchico, the first recording featuring his music. Stack, along with Tim Scanlan and former Saw Doctors drummer, Éimhín Cradock make up a Gaelic gypsy hip-hop band, The Latchikós. They released their first single, "Off to Bondi Junction," and one 10-track CD, "Sugarbeat Sessions" in 2013.[citation needed] Aindrias and The Latchikos are popular internationally for their hybrid of Spanish Gypsy Music and Hip Hop.
