The Arrangements are a four piece Indie/Rock outfit from Waterford (Ireland), officially grouped April 06, making their first public appearance in Paul Flynns, Waterford 20th April, followed by a support slot with UK Chart Toppers The Feeling in Whelans, Dublin, 2 days later. The following month saw the band embarking on a mini 5 date tour supporting Polydor's latest signing, Irish indie outfit The Flaws ,Their music is a blend of Indie Rock with a good helping of pop sensibilities, blending the occasional synth/piano melody into the mix to adjust the colour and contrast. This is not a manicured pop affair, but a hard edgy infectious aural assault, with the rhythm section delivering a driving thunderously tight performance. Add the outstanding emotive falsetto vocals from your front man, coupled with urgent lead lines from Kenny, and you have a 4 piece packing one major punch. The Arrangements have a no-filler policy, and with an arsenal of hook-heavy catchy tunes, they are ready to make a major impact on the music scene. In November they were picked as the local support (Waterford) on the 2FM 2moro tour, and in December their track Mr.Frazier was featured in the Coke-iTunes Irish podcast. January 07 saw the band being invited to perform a 2FM session for the Dan Hegarty show. With invitations to the IMRO showcase tour, the National Student Music Awards & a video from Tisch, 2007 is shaping up to be a very interesting year for the band.
