Children Under Hoof are five people from various regions of Ireland, brought together in college by a mutual love of Risk, Father Ted and 7"s played at 33 RPM. Members include Limerick's Miss Junior Teen '99, the co-founder of the original Ted Fest, 1/2 of experimental band Ixchel, 1/1 of Patrick Kelleher, and IADT's Best Tash 2006. Their music, vl tone busting/sax swarming/vss sampling/floor tom pounding noise creates a sound that could be described as trying to channel the souls of Robert Rendal, Michael Karoli and Porter Wagoner but failing in a wigi board inferno. Children Under Hoof were recently included on Peek Sounds of the Irish Underground record released by Analogue Magazine. They are busy working on a self release split 12" with Hunter/Gatherer, a couple of cassette EPs and a full length album, all out before the end of the year.
