Cork Alternative Rock/Grunge band Paradox are happy to announce they will be supporting Irish 90's legends Kerbdog on Sunday October 27th at Cyprus Avenue in Cork.
Kerbdog was formed in 1991 by Cormac Battle (vocals/guitar), Colin Fennelly (bass guitar) and Darragh Butler (drums)
In early 1993, Kerbdog signed with Mercury Records subsidiary Vertigo Records. That summer, Kerbdog recorded their self-titled debut album. The album was produced by Jack Endino, who helped cement the Seattle grunge sound along with sub pop. Whilst recording, Kerbdog were also planning a major tour of the British clubs. In early 1996, the Mercury Music Group was bought over by PolyGram Records, and Kerbdog shifted to Fontana Records, Vertigo's sister label at PolyGram. That spring, the band returned to the recording studio to work on their second album. Produced by GGGarth, On The Turn was recorded in Los Angeles.In late 1996, the band recorded a session for Dave Fanning's show on 2FM RTÉ radio. Tracks recorded were ‘Sally’, ‘Hard To Live’, ‘Mexican Wave’ and ‘Secure’. Music magazines such as Kerrang! and Metal Hammer praised both Kerbdog's albums and featured them frequently, Kerrang! 's editor spent a weekend with the band in Kilkenny.
The album was repeatedly delayed before being released in the UK in March 1997. It sold poorly, their record label dropped the band, and their back catalog was deleted in 1997. The band soldiered on without a record label for about a year, but eventually disbanded and played their final gig at the Mean Fiddler, in Temple Bar, Dublin on 7 March 1998.
Kerbdog reformed in 2005. They played several gigs in Ireland that year, most notably two sell-out concerts in February at the Temple Bar Music Centre, Dublin, followed by a set at the Oxegen music festival in July. Kerbdog have continued to play occasional one-off shows, including a sellout at Cyprus Avenue last year.
Throughout the 90's Alternative music scene Kerbdog held the flag for Ireland as being a valid part of this scene and Paradox are delighted to be sharing the stage with this band
See you guys at the show!
