Tune into TXFM 105.2 tonight from 10.00 to hear the K9 live session we recorded for Cathal Funge's new show starting tonight. We recorded 3 songs in total, including a cover (you'll need to listen to find out which one... think 90's, think eyeliner, think the murky side of Britpop!!). Barry and Nev will also be interviewed to talk about the session!
We were so happy to be invited on to John Barker's influential programme Totally Irish on 98fm. John is a die hard campaigner and lover of home grown sounds, so it was a huge honour to be asked to be on the show.
Here's a video of Darren and Nev performing a stripped back version of A Holiday for the Head.
You can listen back to show here, we're on after the first song by Ham Sandwich

We couldn't be happier to tell you that our debut album Morning Run | Evening Sun is out now. Its a massive achievement for the four of us to get this to you and at last you'll get to hear what we've been working on for so long.
You can buy it on iTunes, Play Store, Amazon, Bandcamp and limited edition 16 booklet physical CDs from our website here
Thanks to everyone who helped us along the way, your support will never be forgotten.
Now all that's left for you to do is buy it and get listening!

We're so happy to be awarded Dan Hegarty on 2fm's Album of the Week. To have support from a legend like Dan is an absolute honour...
A few weeks ago we were asked by director Jason Figgis to have our song 'In Slow Motion' to be used as the main theme song for his upcoming movie 'The Ecstasy of Isabel Mann'. After seeing a few scene's from the movie we jumped at the chance to be involved. Jason shot a music video for the song and here it is.
We would like to thank Jason for giving us this amazing video, Alan Rogers for his skilled cinematograpy, Matthew Toman for his production role and the beautiful Ellen Mullen who not only stars in the video, is the star of the film itself. I've been reliably informed that she's destined for big things. Hope you enjoy it.
We're so looking forward to this, its unhealthy. Join us in Whelans Main Room on 10th April, its one of the most important nights that we've had as a band and would love for you to be there too. Support comes from the magnificent Other Creatures
... and its a good one.
Sample quote:
Fusing various textural and stylistic elements together the L.P is an evocative musical tapestry.
Thanks to Stephen White from The Last Mixed Tape for this:

Last summer we were invited by Red Shoe Productions and Una Mullally to go to TG4’s studio in Spideal and record a few songs for their programme Ceol ar an Imeall. You can find out tonight how we got on with our first TV appearance airing at 11.30! It’s repeated tomorrow night at 9.00 for the early birds among us. We loved our time in Galway and were treated really well by TG4 and the crew. Thanks to Una, Gina, Eoin and the whole production team for making the experience so pleasurable for us.
Check out some behind the scenes action below!
