BAND BIO
It's easy to be in a band - four instruments, three chords and a voice is all it takes. You write lovelorn ditties about girls you've never met, loopy songs about everyday trivialities, or maybe just streams-of-consciousness in an effort to sound meaningful. Get drunk, score girls, build an ego, forget yourself, fool yourself, write the same song twice, be content in-or-around the middle, not small, nothing too fancy. Just enough.
For Bob, Neil, Damien and Ruairi, it wasn't possible to be in a band like that.
In the dark heart of the Blackpitts three years ago, A Futurist Theatre became the fruition of four friends in love with creating something new, unheard and unique. In 2009, the band's debut Caviar To Pigs was completed and welcomed with kind words from critical sources; words like: 'exciting', 'original' and 'challenging'. The band has vowed to write the greatest music possible, because there's no point in trying anything less.
For Bob, Neil, Damien and Ruairi, it's very easy to be in a band like A Futurist Theatre.
