Dark Room Notes - big Irish band for 2007

magpie

I read a live review of this band Dark Room Notes in this week's NME Ireland (I know, I know...) and they seemed pretty enthusiastic about them. I had a look at their myspace page and I have to say the single is a bit of a cracker, and they've already got some high-ish profile support slots lined up.

Anyone heard of them before, or know anything about them? They seem to appeared out of nowhere.

EDIT/ found the review online if anyone's interested

Went to see these guys playing with The Films at the club NME gig last night. Seriously good performance. If you get the chance to check them out then do so.

Yeah caught them there with psapp in galway the other night..impressive..

I've heard this a couple of times on Phantom - good stuff.

Thought I'd revive this thread and see if anybody has hopped on the Dark Room Notes bandwagon since. They're fantastic, both on record and live. Anyone else feel the same?

Never heard of them.

Saw them at the Coors gig in Limerick the other week, pretty impressive. Shame they never lived up to the "big Irish band for 2007" tag.

Maybe there'll still be home for them to be "Big Irish Band for 2009" if I try to convert more people in the next couple of months!

No one ever seems to.

great band - seen em a good few times. Unfortunately I've always thought they probably need to be a little less challenging (crapper) for mainstream listeners to really catch on and explode. Hopefully I'm wrong and they can crossover soon

I got to interview them for wired....cool band

I have their album. They have a lot of really good ideas but in some songs they just dont really work out. Lyrics arent the best either but they get away with it because of the nature of their sound. Evens out as a pretty average album. They still deserve to be better known though.

Synthpop is being done to death at the moment and the fact that there are so many bands who do it better doesnt really help their cause.

when the sugababes jump on the bandwagon you know its time to start on something new!

GonzoRecords

They've now been signed to BBE Records, and the album will be coming out worldwide in 2010. See www.facebook.com/darkroomnotes or www.myspace.com/darkroomnotesireland for more...
