About Me

We are an up and comin young Dublin Band, or a fresh new power-trio, making their way into the industry. Whatever floats your boat on that one. We formed in December '04 for a new years eve gig, which went so well that we decided to stick together. We met up when we could in '05 for the craic, but then we started to get offered gigs....so now we've decided to get relativley serious about the whole thing. The bands influences are as wide- ranging as their musical ability...., from the funk of The Meters and Prince, the classic rock of Zeppelin and Hendrix, to the legendary Django Reinhardt, and of course any gypsy band from the balkans i.e Taraf de Haidoucks. The reason for the gypsy influence is cos our guitarist, Stephen, and sax player, Jack, are also members of "The North Strand Klezmer Band", which plays this style of music. You can also find them on my space. Thats about all for now!

Band Members: Stephen Daly - Guitar, Eamon Hall - Drums, David Harrington - Bass, Plus special guest: Jack McMahon - Saxophone.
Influences: Well....here we go, actually do ye know what, fuck that....there's only two types of music...Good music and shite music....we're influenced by anything thats ever been good. Which would take all day to list.
Sounds Like: Just what you want to hear if your sick of James Blunt and the likes of that fucking shite. Some people have compared us to a modern day Cream, Hendrix Experience and also, for some reason, Supergrass.....(probably cos they're all rock trios). We, with a pinch of salt, somtimes call ourselves a POWER TRIO. Come to a gig and make what you want out of it. You won't be disappointed!
