About Me


Finally. Something stirs. The sleepy creature that is alias glee puts one cautious foot in front of the other and leaves its shadowy cave for the world outside. This ten-legged musical beast, easily mistaken for five, instrument- weilding humans, is making its way to a music venue near you. please, do come along.
alias glee are an original and progressive-alternative outfit. Their sound is a mesh of rock and electronica which has drawn comparisons to the likes of Massive Attack, Radiohead and Tool. Sweeping instrumentals and melodic, vocal-driven songs course through the veins of their intense live performances
alias glee's self adapted studio is located in one of the oldest parts of Dublin. From a seemingly derelict house under the shadow of the Guinness brewery, they slowly churn out their distinctively dark brew of rich soundscapes, intricate rhythms and textured vocals. Their existence in this building, as part of a small, underground musical collective has allowed the band the luxury of almost complete independence from the rest of the Dublin music scene. This in part, has contributed to the infectious originality that embodies everything that alias glee do.
