PictureHouse have announced plans to perform a limited number of shows based around their 1998 hit album “Karmarama”, including a special acoustic show in the intimate surrounds of The Unitarian Church in Dublin.
Released in 1998, “Karmarama” featured hit singles like “All the time in the world”, “love in the streets”, “A thousand years of evolution” and the monster summer smash single “Sunburst” which went on to become the most played Irish record in 1999.
The album’s success and popularity ensured that PictureHouse became a household name and the band played sold out shows in The Olympia, The Point Depot, The Opera House in Cork, and headlined the Big Days out in Marlay Park to over 30,000 people. The accolades kept coming; Elton John bought 50 copies for his family and friends, The Corrs invited them onto their stadium tour and ended up having to start each show 10 minutes later when the queue to by PictureHouse CD’s had subsided and fans went back to their seats. The record achieved gold status in Ireland.
Recently united after a 10 year hiatus, PictureHouse returned with new album “Evolution” which saw the band score another radio hit with “rules of science”.
“15 years later we still see people at shows or on the streets telling us how these songs were a special part of their lives and their youth. We really can’t wait to play these songs again, even the ones that were never played live before!” – Dave Browne
