The Jades - Live set from Oxegen 09

By 2FM Moderator on July 20, 2009 11:19 AM

All members of The Jades come from Kilmuckridge in county Wexford and first met at primary school.
As Yvonne says, "We have been in a band together for what feels like forever at this stage! We learned our spellings together in primary school and formed the band after finishing our leaving certs. We have taken a year or two off in between the time to pursue college and other things, but hey!, what good relationship hasn't!"

Before the band came together, each member had built up considerable experience performing locally in musicals and shows, but The Jades was the first formal band any of them joined when they came together after finishing school. They first came to public attention in Ireland through their colourful live shows and their appearances on the RTE series You're A Star.

IMRO Stage - Cap Pas Cap

By 2FM Moderator on July 16, 2009 9:53 PM

"Edgy, daring and sparky, Dublin band Cap Pas Cap play a hugely alluring post-everything game. There has only been a handful of releases to date, but each one has seen them pulling new shapes from the bag. Their best moment to date was last year's hypnotic and spacey We Are Men single on the Skinny Wolves label, a pointer to the new-wave-no-wave-what-wave terrain they're calling their own. Cap Pas Cap's debut album should be one of this year's highlights."
- Jim Carroll, Irish Times. 'Top 50 Irish Bands right now, Article'

Concerto for Constantine Live from Oxegen 09

By 2FM Moderator on July 13, 2009 4:11 PM

Concerto for Constantine are three Dubliners: singer and guitarist Mark Greaney (formerly JJ72's frontman and songwriter), bassist Gavin Fox (formerly of Turn, Idlewild and Vega4), and drummer Binzer (formerly of The Frames, BellX1).
They got together in late August 2007 and began rehearsing. It was raw. It was visceral. And having enough gigs under their collective belt from over the past decade they knew immediately that it worked. Bones shivered, hearts beat faster and ears hurt. A beautiful thunder was born. As individuals, the experience and talent is impressive. As a band it is colossal. This is three men at the top of their game, playing the music that they have always wanted to play.

Have a listen to their Oxegen set here:
