About Me


Audium are a 4 piece alternative rock/pop band who are currently based in Dublin, Ireland. They formed in November 2006 with their first live performance to a sold out crowd in Radio City, Dublin. Their music has been compared to everything from Ben Folds and The Fray to Muse.
Sonically driving the group forward is John Joe Daly on Piano and main vocal. After years of classical playing, he has turned it into his own style which goes a long way in helping to make up the bands big sound. Barry ‘Buzz’ McGee’s (life long friend of JJ) creative approach to the electric guitar has also helped the band to stand out sonically from their peers. His ability to produce unexpected sounds has in some ways saved Audium lots of time and money that would be otherwise invested in Synths. This style variation continues into the rhythm section as well, with Dave Ivers being able to play drums and percussion in an extremely musical complimentary fashion to each song. Alex Cecilia’s intimate relationship with the bass guitar and multicultural background has helped him to produce a truly provocative style which fills out the bands sound perfectly.
Audium have played in some of Dublin and the UK’s top venues (including The Temple Bar Music Centre,Crawdaddy, The Pod, Tripod, Whelans, The Sugar Club, Eamon Dorans, Radio City, Voodoo and The Manchester Academy, to name a few) and always manage to capture the audiences attention with their very intimate, involving stage presence. They have also been know to occasionally bring a small string section to their more acoustic gigs to reproduce some of their more delicate songs.
Audium spend most of their time rehearsing and recording in their own studio space, where they recorded their debut single ‘Stop the Clocks’.
