''The brainchild of Lydia Des Dolles & Danda, Sweet Jane's origins lie in early 2007. After recording in their home studio, they realized each of their songs true potential and decided to put more focus into a band. Almost 2 years on they have successfully become one of Ireland's most exciting new bands. The duo and their 3 accomplices have been spending the last year gigging furiously throughout the UK & Ireland, gaining plenty of riveting live reviews and a firm following to keep them busy for the foreseeable future.
Shows over the past year have seen them share stages with greats such as BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB, THE DUKE SPIRIT, THE DILLETANTES, SKY PARADE, FIGHT LIKE APES
Their live set could only be described as an energetic roller coaster of sleazy guitars achingly sexy vocals, which are split between Lydia & Danda, and of course they top it all off with their trade mark droned out dream gaze rock 'n roll. ''
They are currently self - managed but have recently joined forces with DEAD FLOWER RECORDS and these recent weeks have seen them complete their long awaited mini album Blackboots Blackhearts which was recorded in Dublin, Ireland and mixed in Philadelphia, USA by none other than the Asteroid No. 4's very own Ryan Van Kriedt.
As they prepare for the release of Blackboots Blackhearts, they are already knee deep in demo recording's for their first full length studio album due for release in early 2009, accompanied with a strong tour schedule to keep them sweetly occupied and content for the forthcoming months.
If you only set your ears on one band this year - we recommend that band is SWEET JANE
