Black robots.jpg

BLACK ROBOTS IN SESSION - MONDAY FEB 8:

Waterford's Black Robots draw on a strong, raw punk ethic, drawing influence from a slew of bands like Sonic Youth, Death From Above, Wavves and Autolux to name but a few.

Having already played with bands such as Katie Kim, Neosupervital and Tricky as well as playing the Working Class Heroes Festival in Dublin, The Coors Light Peak festival as well as the legendary The Hope and Anchor venue in London. Black Robots have truly found their live feet. Sarah's primal beats drive the songs and Dean's raw guitar style is straight and to the pointless and serves as a carrier for the melody.

Sleep Thieves.jpg

SLEEP THIEVES IN SESSION - MONDAY JAN 25

Formed in the summer of 2008 Sleep Thieves quickly began writing, recording and crafting songs. After a promising start to their existence they are looking to bridge the gap between quirky-indie and dancey-electro, according to Analogue Magazine Sleep Thieves "create music that in one moment trips lightly along in a swirling hush of gentle vocals, dainty keys and stomping electronic beats, while the next moment swells with driving electronic drums and growling, dirty synths."

THE HOLY ROMAN ARMY IN STUDIO SESSION - MON, DEC 21

| No Comments
Holy Roman Army.jpg

The Holy Roman Army are Chris and Laura Coffey, a brother and sister from Co. Carlow who offer up their own distinctive brand of loop-laden electronica. Having spent their teenage years messing around at home with Casio keyboards and tape recorders, they started writing music together again in late 2007 when Chris found himself with a load of self-produced, half-finished beats and soundscapes, and sorely in need of inspiration. The introduction of Laura's ethereal vocals and guitar provided a more melodic influence and offered an intriguing counterpoint to Chris' dense synth-and-sample-heavy tracks.

Their self-released debut album 'How The Light Gets In' is a distillation of their idiosyncratic musical tastes, fusing glitchy laptop beats with melodic sensibilities and referencing acts as diverse as DJ Shadow, The Notwist, Portishead and Mum. From the hushed ambience of opening track 'Berlin' to the dubby 'Lastwood' and electronic pop of 'Neon In Our Dreams', the album covers a broad terrain of musical influences over its eleven tracks. The album was released to considerable critical acclaim in June 2009.
