Factro literally exploded from a malodorous basement room to greet the world at a house party in Dublin's Stoneybatter on May 08 2004. Soon the three piece, made up of Patrick, James and Billy, would play several low-key shows before making their debut at the Ballroom of Romance that December.
With their music gradually changing from Beat Happening/Guided By Voices inspired indie to a more energetic and punked-up sound, Factro unleashed a fourth member, axe-man Sean McGrath, on a suspecting public (it was a poorly kept secret) in March 2005.
Unreasonably, Factro gave Sean a mere month to learn the band's back catalogue for a raucous headline gig at Crawdaddy, supported by Betamax Format and Dublin stalwarts The Holy Ghost Fathers. Thankfully Sean was ready to do it for the kids.
Since then the band have kept themselves trim and built up a well-dressed following thanks to a glut of gigs, most notably at The Basement Club, The Village, Project Arts Centre, Tralee's Club Head Bang Bang and the Sugar Club.
In March 2006, Factro returned to headline the Ballroom of Romance in the Lower Deck, before heading into the studio with Steve Shannon to record two new tracks, both of which will be available shortly.
