The group, who are aged from 13 to 17 years old, formed in 2020 and practised when they could during the restrictions in the Hive youth club in Kildare town.
They refer to their music as "Pandemic Rock".
Kovanta consists of - Alex Ponisi- Bass/vocals, Billy Moylan- Rhythm guitar/ vocals, Cillian McDonnell- Drums, Jude Herbert- Lead guitar/ vocals and Zak Lennon- Lead vocalist.
Two months ago they paid to put on a show for friends and family in the Moat to 50 people.
The Moat were so impressed that they gave them a show of their own.
