Session Motts Announce Galway and Dublin Dates

Written by Breffni Banks on . Posted in News.

SESSION MOTTS’ first unleashed their unique sound, a hybrid of Northern Soul, disco, dream pop & post-punk, on their debut single ‘Chip Shop Fights’, released in January of this year. Nialler9 quickly named the MOTTS ‘New Artist of the Week’ in The Irish Times, and the group soon picked up similar accolades from DublinLive.ie and DublinConcerts.ie.
The single received regular plays on the likes of RTÉ1, Newstalk, 98FM, 8Radio and Dublin City FM.

Their second single Plundered Past was released in May. Plundered Past is based on the true story of the 1988 unsolved murder of 18-year-old German backpacker Inga-Maria Hauser, whose body was found in a County Antrim forest. Despite its tragic inspiration, Plundered Past is an uptempo dancefloor stormer intended as a defiant celebration of a life cut short. GoldenPlec premiered the video, Dan Hegarty (2FM) gave the track it’s first radio play, Tom Dunne (Newstalk) named it as one of his Top 3 Irish releases, and it went on to get lots of spins across regional and national radio – and in the USA and Canada too.

SESSION MOTTS was initially formed as a studio project, but the reaction to the track from fans and media was so great they decided to bring it out on the road. They are now playing live, and blew the roof off The Harbour Bar back in June and played their Dublin debut in Whelan’s in July to a sold-out crowd of mega-happy punters.

Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for their forthcoming single Back In The Day, due for release later in September. In the meantime, catch them live at Roisin Dubh, Galway on Thursday, 21 September and Workman’s Club, Dublin on Thursday, 12 October.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING…
“Dark, shimmering brilliance. A new voice in music” 
- Tom Dunne, Newstalk FM

“Song of the Morning: SESSION MOTTS’ Plundered Past. Smart Disco-Pop with a serious message” 
- Tony Clayton-Lea, The Irish Times

“Sporting the best new band name since you last had a gaff party, SESSION MOTTS are a band in thrall to the eighties: specifically Magazine, New Order, Microdisney and Aztec Camera” 
- Nialler9, The Irish Times

“Hot new Dublin act SESSION MOTTS…’Plundered Past’, an eerie, enthralling dancefloor pop tune” 
- Hot Press

“This band have already began making waves with their equally enchantingly-titled single, ‘Chip Shop Fights’, this is a band that’s as talented as it is witty….it’s equal parts delightful and charming. Their sound has a sort of dreamy, ethereal undertone to it, the vocals are wispy and haunting but uplifting nonetheless” 
- DublinConcerts.ie

“Song of the year so far perhaps?” 
- Dublin Live

Emma Langford Album Set for Winter Release

Written by Breffni Banks on . Posted in News.

Irish singer-songwriter Emma Langford’s hotly anticipated debut album, “Quiet Giant”, is due for release in Winter 2017.

Following the success of her self-titled EP in 2016 praised by Hotpress Magazine as “almost angelic”, Emma Langford returns with her debut album, “Quiet Giant”, set for release this Winter. The album showcases ten tracks, set against a stunning backdrop of strings, percussion and piano. The songs dance lightly between genres, weaving a coming-of-age narrative that explores love, heartbreak, and wrestling with self-doubt.

“Quiet Giant” was recorded amidst the rolling pastures of Portlaoise at Golden Egg Studios, with Grammy nominated producers Graham Murphy & Chris O’Brien of the Production Suite. The album lands as Langford embarks on a tour of Germany and Switzerland in October and November with the Irish Folk Festival. Irish and UK tour dates to follow.

Alongside the album pre-order, you also have the opportunity to grab a range of exclusive merchandise and tickets for the album launch at Dolans Warehouse in Limerick in December.

The album can be pre-ordered from Bandcamp at emmalangfordmusic.bandcamp.com/album/

Praise for Emma Langford’s previous work:

“A breath of fresh air… Very easy on the ear.” – Phil Coulter

“...there’s an almost angelic quality to her material.” – Roisin Dwyer, Commissioning Editor, Hotpress Magazine

“…a songwriter of great depth and personal soul searching and a voice to match.” – Carl Corcoran, Presenter, The Blue of the Night, RTÉ Lyric FM

Cado Shares New Track and Video

Written by Breffni Banks on . Posted in News.

Having been born half a century too late in 1990, Cado is a modern rock and roll artist with an obsession for music of the past! After stealing a Beatles’ album from a record shop aged 10, he was inspired to make music for people to dance to.

Cado, who grew up in County Kildare, Ireland, was mesmerised at an early age by the sound of The Beatles and Chuck Berry and from then commenced a lifelong obsession with music! His father would perform Johnny B. Goode to him, and when he heard the hard hitting opening riff featured in ‘Back to the Future’ at age 11, he did not hesitate to pick up a guitar and has rarely put it down since!

The multi instrumentalist has toured the UK and Ireland with The Shades and in early 2016 he began recording a collection of songs inspired by the music he adores. In August 2016 he released the “Take Me Back” EP. The singer-songwriter takes a completely DIY approach, self recording and mixing everything in his personal studio. Every instrument is performed by Cado
allowing him make music that he truly loves. Cado spent late 2016 and early 2017 recording his latest EP in a DIY studio in his hometown of Naas. The first single and title track “Satisfy My Soul” was released on Friday August 18 2017. Mixed by Martin Quinn (The Strypes, Heroes In Hiding) and mastered by Pete Maher, (U2, Jack White) “Satisfy My Soul” is available to stream and buy from all online music stores and streaming services. The accompanying music video, produced by Second Frame and starring actor Shane Casey, has just been released.

Eoin Glackin Announces New Single

Written by Breffni Banks on . Posted in News.

Eoin Glackin returns with his new alt-country infused rock single, ‘Wear It While You Can’, released 27th October.

With 2 albums, 2 EP’s as well as 2015’s Hot Press Award nominated eponymous compilation album under his belt Eoin has focused his new sound to a sharp, exciting blend of alternative country and rock and roll.

‘Wear It While You Can’ was inspired by the story of Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston marathon in 1960, who was infamously almost tackled off the track by the organiser when he realised a woman was running “his” race. The song developed into this barn burning, foot stomping single with the core message of do what you want while you are still able, “Why wait on the end when the end it waits on us?”.

Eoin’s love for the heroes of “outlaw country”, like Steve Earle and Kris Kristofferson, which he perhaps picked up on his summers spent in his mother’s native Co. Donegal, is something he has worn on his sleeve since childhood, when having “The Highwaymen” written on his school bag left some of his north Dublin class mates scratching their heads. This alt-country rock sound will be further explored on his new album, due 2018.

Having spent the last few years touring and opening for acts such as Joan Armatrading, Beth Orton, Damien Dempsey, Aslan, Shovels & Rope, Dick Valentine (Electric Six) and The Darkness, Eoin’s reputation as an exciting live act continues to grow. Whether surrounded by his full band or solo with a drum at his feet and harmonica around his neck, he makes quite an enthralling racket.

This, along with his lyrical song writing, drenched in poetic imagery and unique storytelling has garnered him praise from media and fellow musicians alike…

“Eoin’s lyrical imagery make me feel like I’m watching a movie in my mind” – Damien Dempsey

“His songs make an instant connection” – The Independent

“A genuine talent” – Dan Hawkins (The Darkness)

“Some of the best lyrics almost any listener will have heard” – Fatea Magazine

“Smashing it” – Ed Sheeran

Basciville Release New Single Ahead of Tour

Written by Breffni Banks on . Posted in News.

Basciville have released their anticipated new single ‘Diving Hour’ ahead of their nationwide tour starting this September.

New single ‘Diving Hour’ is an incredible follow up to their debut EP ‘Blues in Red’, and retains the sensibility of a band clearly at ease with their craft but eager to comment on the world as they see it. ‘Diving Hour’ is available for download now across all digital platforms.

2017 has seen Basciville cement their live reputation with a growing fanbase. They have just announced a nationwide tour for this September and will be calling at Galway, Cork, Limerick, Clonakilty including The Workman’s Club on 28th September. The year looks set to bring more music but more importantly the bands first shows outside of Ireland.

Cillian and Lorcan Byrne are two men growing up in a world that celebrates the short attention span. They are very much of this world, they understand it and indeed participate in this rush. Basciville however don’t operate in the world that you or I live in. They soundtrack a world that you or I aspire to. We all have glimpses of this world – where time moves at the pace that we dictate – where we have time to look around, time to breathe, time to truly live. Cillian and Lorcan are Basciville and Basciville makes sense of our world by stopping and looking around.

After graduating with degrees in music from Wexford Institute of Technology, Basciville embarked on their own never ending tour. Constantly on the road in Ireland they built up a formidable live following. They then took the plunge and released their first EP in 2016. ‘Blues in Red’ received major critical acclaim for the way it fused all their musical history, experience and skill with a spontaneous sound that instantly captured the sense of a band soundtracking a world as it should be seen. They launched the EP with sold out shows across Ireland culminating in Dublin’s iconic Pepper Canister Church.

Hailing from County Wexford, on the South East coast of Ireland, these two brothers Cillian and Lorcan Byrne have had their world view soundtracked by some of the greatest artists of our lives. Any home that reverberates to the sound of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Ella Fitzgerald would march to a more soulful drum. But throw in Jeff Buckley, Led Zeppelin, Ry Cooder and of course the seasoning of most Irish bloodlines: Van Morrison, what you’re going to get is a streak of blues cutting through that soulful heart.

‘Diving Hour’ is available for download now across all digital platforms.

Nationwide Tour Dates
Weds Sept 27th : Roisin Dubh (upstairs) – Galway
Thurs sept 28th: The Workmans Club – Dublin
Fri Sept 29th: The Roundry – Cork
Sat Sept 30th: Dolans (upstairs) – Limerick
Sun Oct 1st: DeBarra – Clonakilty

All tickets available at Ticketmaster and box offices

Culture Night @ IMRO – Line-up Announced

Written by Press Officer on . Posted in Featured Articles, Industry News.

Meet The Music Managers with Ken Allen, Joe Clarke & David Rowell
Live Music from ZALI and I Draw Slow

Bookings: (FREE event – Booking essential) events@nullimro.ie
Location: IMRO, Copyright House, Pembroke Row, Dublin 2, D02 HW59
Time: 6:00pm – 9.00pm
Date: Friday 22nd September

The role of a music manager in the D.I.Y. age is less that of an advocate and cheerleader, and more that of an analyst and adviser. Appointing the right manager at the right time is one of the most important decisions a songwriter will take during his/her career as a professional musician. As the music industry has rapidly evolved in recent years music managers have had to adapt quickly to face new challenges as well as knowing when best to exploit opportunities as they arise.

This upcoming IMRO seminar offers you the unique opportunity to learn from the experience of a number of Ireland and the UK’s top music managers with advice on when and how artists should seek management and tips for those looking to break into management.

David Rowell’s marketing background spans 20 years. David began his career as an intern at James Grant Management in 1993. Later that year David made the move to Chrysalis as Product and Label Manager on the Curb / Hit Label, working on frontline and back catalogue. 1995 saw an internal change to the newly established, Chrysalis-owned Echo Label where David rose to the position of Marketing Director and looked after the careers of Feeder, Moloko, Ray Lamontagne, Nerina Pallot and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club amongst others. David and business partner Richard Engler first worked together on the hugely successful compilation series ACOUSTIC while still being respective Marketing Directors at Echo and V2. Vicious Music was set up in 2006, which expanded upon the operation and experience generated via their solo marketing ventures. 2008 saw the expansion of the team and company when Autonomy Music Group was formed with the addition of a recorded, management and publishing and sync division. In 2010 alongside Richard, David became a co-owner of the Communion Music Group.

LIVE MUSIC

Change is in the air and the time is now for a new face of music to emerge in the form of multi-talented singer-songwriter and dancer ZALI. The Dublin based rising star has been singing for as long as she can remember. Discovering her talent and passion for singing in the church choir during her pre-teen years, she found a love and comfort on the stage.

She landed on the Irish music scene in January 2017 and since then gained attention through her music through performances across Dublin as well as with the release of her debut Single ‘Cant Stop’ which to date has amassed over 100,000 streams worldwide on Spotify, quickly making a name for herself among rising Irish artists to watch in 2017. ZALI has been hailed by the likes of Nialler9, Hot Press Magazine, Lovin Media Group and is slowly gathering support from industry movers and shakers who support her music and vision in Ireland and the UK.

With influences ranging from the likes of Amy Winehouse, Toni Braxton, Duffy, Whitney Houston, Frank Ocean, Maxwell, Luther Vandross, Rebecca Ferguson, and Emeli Sande, ZALI has surprisingly separated the influences and managed to form a cross-genre unique sound. ZALI possesses an intensely powerful and wide vocal range honed through years of vigorous vocal training to produce a sound reminiscent of old school R&B mixed with Soul-Pop.

ZALI is set apart from the rest of her peers through her distinct ability to feel the joy within every song, be it a sad love song or a song that brings to mind the pain and struggle we all go through in life, she weaves life experiences and expertly transforms them through captivating lyrics and a combination of lively and soul filled beats to form a resonating bounce that puts listeners in a state of intoxicating good vibes.

For ZALI as an artist, the creative process carries as much of a thrill as performing. She is restlessly creative and looks at herself not just as a singer and songwriter, but as a writer in the truest form writing fiction, short stories, poems, and inspirational quotes – anything to express the multifaceted woman that she is within. 2017 has a lot to see from ZALI as she gears up to release her brand new single!

Dublin roots band I Draw Slow have been consistently honing their craft over the course of the last 10 years. They have been selling out venues in Ireland and releasing their records to critical acclaim. However, they haven’t only focused here. It’s been five years since the 5 piece band made their debut US appearance in Nashville, following the Number 2 Irish chart position of their second album, Redhills.

Fifteen tours and 24 states later, they’ve moved into a dominant position on the American folk music scene and are receiving well deserved recognition from some of the biggest festivals in the US.

2017 has been a busy year for I Draw Slow. They have just signed with Compass Records, one of the most important independent roots labels in the U.S., who also feature Ron Sexsmith, Altan, and the Waifs on their roster. Announcing the signing, Compass Records CEO Garry West said: ‘First, we noticed how they got the crowd involved in what they were doing. Their energy is truly infectious. Then we noticed that their CDs and merchandise were flying off the shelves in the festival store. That kind of immediate response is always going to get our attention! But more than anything we’ve been impressed with the strength of the songwriting, the sibling harmony and the musical proficiency of the band. They are truly dedicated to their craft.”

In May the band released their fourth album, ‘Turn Your Face To The Sun’, which was funded entirely through pre-sales to a large, loyal and growing domestic and international fanbase and reached number 1 in the Irish Independent Album Charts. Written entirely by Louise and Dave, it features vocals by the brother and sister duo, with Dave also playing guitar/mandolin, Konrad Liddy on double bass, Adrian Hart on fiddle and Colin Derham on banjo. Recorded in Wicklow with Brian Masterson, the album also introduces brass into the mix for the first time. The band then set off on their 14th North American tour amidst a buzz of anticipation on the US roots scene. This month the band have been invited to perform at the prestigious Americana Music Association showcase in Nashville.

The music has also brought I Draw Slow to play in some weird and wonderful places – such as deep into the Canadian prairie after a two hour horse-drawn buffalo safari, at the residence of the Irish Ambassador to New York and to an audience of thousands at the iconic Grey Fox Festival playing with a roots collective that featured folk legends Chris Thile, Gerry Douglas and Tim O’Brien.

Part of the band’s appeal lies in their live performances, which really showcase the exceptional musicianship of I Draw Slow. The instruments and vocals blend organically on stage, giving audiences a sense of intimacy and connection to the performance. The albums are recorded to reflect this dynamic and offer the most faithful representation of the live experience. ‘Turn Your Face To The Sun’ was recorded completely live with all five band members playing together in the live room for every track. My Portion, the lead track from the record, is a song about addiction, and showcases the beautiful vocal harmonies of siblings Louise and Dave Holden.

I Draw Slow will be presented with an IMRO Award on the night in recognition of their album ‘Turn Your Face To The Sun’ reaching the top of the Independent Irish Album Chart.

Ivy Nations Release Live Video For ‘Live By Design’

Written by Breffni Banks on . Posted in News.

Ivy Nations have had quite the summer following the release of their third single “Live By Design” last spring. It received national airplay, they dominated the Irish festival scene with performances at Sea Sessions, Indiependence, Electric Picnic and the main stage of Castlepalooza, their debut music video premiered on UK blog ‘London on the Inside’ and they traveled to London for their first ever overseas headline show.

Now they return with a live video of their latest single, filmed in Station Studios Dublin. It’s the first in what will be a three-part mini series in which the band perform some of their favourite songs to play live.
