Anybody heard Director?

Okay, so basically. I've heard 'Director' on 2fm and Pet Sounds, but I cannot for the life of me find any info for them on the web at all!

I really liked what I heard and would really like to find out more about the band if anyone can help? It would be muchly appreciated!

Rock on.

One of my friends is the drummer. Theyre not my kind of music, too poppy, all but they play it well.

They supported Keane at the Olympia last year, went down really well, lead singer very geeky looking

Winter Slide · 14-09-2005 07:23PM

Yeah I've heard of them. They're **** but good luck to them

I'd be a fan of Director. Thought their track on 'Faction 1' was one of the ones that really stood out, actually...

Directors single Reconnect is well on the way to becoming Pigheads single of the year. Its fantastic. I was flabbergasted when I was told they were Irish. And even more flabbergasted that it wasn't a huge smash hit. They are way way too cool to be Irish. And I don't mean cool as in good I mean cool as in The Fonz. Playing in the Ambassador this Friday night and in The Village in 2 weeks. These boys are GONNA BE HUGE!

AKA The Irish Interpol - that song reconnect, as Pighead so rightly pointed out, is a good 'un. Shame they're on crappy Faction Records

Faction is a good label for new bands. Director got a deal with Atlantic UK out of it. There's a great live acoustic version of "Reconnect" on the Ian Dempsey podcast. They even got a mention on a Gift Grub! You should check out the video on the website if you get a chance...

jmc · 24-05-2006 11:09AM

"Reconnect" went Top 10 here btw so not bad for a first single

Repli · 24-05-2006 11:11AM

Saw the video for reconnect on that channel 6 show with brian deveraux.. then I went looking for their cd but they don't have 1 yet.. looking forward to the album whenever it's released!

If you think being a good label is picking up new acts and then pimping them to the Big 4 then yes, they are a good label. Personally I prefer my indie labels to act as more than major label A&R men. Creation, Domino etc.

I love "Reconnect". It's got a bleak, eighties Killing Joke meets Talk Talk meets House of Love sort of vibe. My kinda thing!

jmc · 25-05-2006 06:27PM

Good description! Think you hit the nail on the head

JustCoz · 28-05-2006 02:52PM

They're from Malahide, their song reconnect is pretty good. You know that station that took over MTV a while ago? They play their video a good bit. Apparently they're set for big things....as they say about everyone with a good first single!

willowmegs · 30-05-2006 09:46PM

I love "Reconnect". Amazing track!

Dudess · 31-05-2006 02:42PM

Yeah, superb song all right. I don't like their name though. Director? Sounds lame.

magpie · 31-05-2006 03:10PM

Presumably its from the "Hmm - Editors are a successful band, so what'll we call ours? Key Grip? Dolly? Director... Eureka!" school of thought.

Red Organ Serpent Sound - now there's a name for a band. Cracking single as well.

Hee hee! Totally! Yeah, but they're being a bit different by dropping the "The" and changing the noun from plural into singular. Wow! How innovative! Reeks of pretension and trying to be clever. A bit like The Music. Sorry. Not trying to be mean. Reconnect rocks.
Yes. Red Organ Serpent Sound is indeed a wondrous name.

myself and justcoz went to see them in the village last week. v good gig. the marshals supported them and i thought they were quite good but director took the biscuit. i remember seeing them in school in their uniforms etc and now they are on tv! i think they are brilliant and hope they go on to bigger and better things. looks like they have a busy summer ahead of them!

Peyton Manning · 13-06-2006 09:21PM

Seen them as a warm up act before the Goo Goo Dolls in the Ambassdor. Very good band live. Havent heard the studio material yet.

As far as I know, they used to be called 'Business' but there's a Dublin band called 'The Business', so they required a hasty name change. Hence, 'Director'. So there you go.

Awayindahils · 14-06-2006 11:16AM

They're the only band I can clearly remember seeing play at Trinity Ball. They seemed good, got some free badges. Above anything else they just seemed really likable, I hadn't heard them before and within a couple of minutes was jumping around with the my friends.

you are correct.

I used to love the first album from this band back in '06. Anyone know what ever happened to them? Did they break up? I can't find any info on them past 2010. Their website looks like it hasn't been updated in over 2 years.

lordgoat · 18-06-2012 06:43PM

zombie..... ugh....braaaaiiinnnnnssss

They were dropped by their label and then split up as far as I can recall. It's a pity, their second album was pretty good too. Seriously old thread to be posting in!

lordgoat · 21-06-2012 05:09PM

thought i'd locked this!

have now!

Anybody heard Director?
