Koesher

Pat and Diarmaid learned their craft together during the spotty years with one thing in common, a hunger for musical creation. From the beginning song writing was the main aim in the band. The hazy teenage learning curve took them to different places apart from each other only to arrive back playing together in 2003. With accomplished musicianship the band began to create the sound of "Koesher". Von a friend and local, musical writing machine was drafted in on keyboard. From the off, a group writing system was developed. Rozzie's jerky, soul-funk guitar licks, whisked together with Wally's funky melody bass and garnished with Von's inventive, rocker ideology created a new, positive, foot stomping sound. After playing with different drummer's Rob arrived (mandatory madness intact) to complete the Koesher line-up. They began to build up their name in the South East. "Lark" (known as Cula now), an annual 1000 capacity outdoor event has been organized by the band since 2003 in Gorey and this has helped to cement thier reputation for energetic, good-feel, alternative rock seen in all thier live performances. By 2005 a good momentum had been reached and with the launch in August of their first EP "Atmospheric Pleasure" to rave reviews in the local media and Hot Press, Koesher were out there. In between full-time jobs (not music unfortunately) they continued to craft their songs and performed in venues in Dublin and around the South East, rehearsing weekly in their self-built studio. 2006, a gear is stepped up, gigging every week as far afield as possible, which included supports to Fairuza and The Blizzards, getting to the last six in the "Emergenza" National final Vicar St. in June, and receiving airplay on Beat FM and South East Radio, things are building fast. By the end of the year a new EP is set for release online and the usual record stores with a tour to follow in the new year. They hope to build on their fan base in order to play bigger and better venues........
