Artist - Eithne Ni Chathain Track 1 - Gui Gigs
Bio Eithne Ní Chatháin is a performing artist whose singing, playing and song-writing comes from the heart and speaks to the heart. A native of Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Eithne is currently living in Dublin. Music has always been a natural part of life for Eithne and for her four talented siblings. Her Grandad taught her how to hold a 1/4 sized fiddle at the age of four. Her gift for singing became apparent from an early age and Eithne began singing sean-nós at the age of ten, learning from her own mother and from recordings lying around at home. North Kildare is not known for its sean-nós singing and Eithne was lucky to receive sound guidance in this art from Máire Uí Raghallaigh, mother of The Ó Raghallaigh family from Co. Meath, a well known family of musicians who taught and greatly influenced Eithne. Much time and effort was spent by Eithne's parents bringing the family all over the country to lessons, festivals, competitions and house parties. In this way, Eithne's talent for performing publicly and communicating through her music developed quite naturally and organically. Eithne is blessed with a pure and true voice, haunting and very beautiful. She has a gift of interpreting a song and offering it in a beautifully honest way. In the past four years, Eithne has taken to performing a wide range of material as a solo performer and has been exploring and developing her song-writing talent both in English and in Irish. She began singing with fellow Kildare singer/songwriter and friend Luka Bloom in various venues around the country and for a while formed a band together with Luka and two other friends, Bernie Pháid and Claudia Chambers. This experience helped Eithne realise that music was something she especially wanted to focus on. Her vocals and fiddle playing are to be heard on Luka Bloom's recent album 'Innocence'. Eithne's deep love and connection to the music and language of her country inspires her singing and playing as does her desire to give expression to her own unique voice. Eithne's gig is a wonderfully intimate, fresh and varied experience. Her repetoire includes her own songs accompanied with piano and guitar, beautiful sean-nós songs, fiddle playing, contemporary folk and other music that inspires her. Two years in the making, Eithne's debut album, entitled simply 'Eithne' is a reflection of her varied musical journey to date. It was recorded in Dublin and Lahinch, Co. Clare and produced by Eithne independently. This gem of an album is now available to buy at Eithne's gigs and through this website. |

SpudShow 156 Tessa Perry Track 1 - Fragile Buy the music at CDBaby Bio Steeped in the country-blues and folk traditions of Suzanne Vega and Beth Orton, Tessa Perry is rapidly picking up fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Her songs emerge startlingly fresh … shot through with lyrics that are wistful and punch-in-the-gut candid. Whether playing to a sold-out concert hall, or an East Village dive bar, Tessa spins images and observations of the world around her into soulful, intimate communication with her audience. Born in England, and raised on the west coast of Ireland, Tessa hit the road in her teens with a dilapidated guitar, three (not to be named) cover songs, and a mind to educating herself. Soon, bored to tears with those covers, she realized it was time to come up with some new tunes … and proceeded to write them herself. Thus began a career that would lead her to performances across Europe, opening for the likes of Ani DiFranco, Damien Rice, the Indigo Girls, the Corrs, the Hothouse Flowers, and many more. Tessa’s debut recording, Live at DeBarras, was released in 2001 in Ireland to widespread acclaim. The album’s subtly raw compositions, delivered in a boldly improvisational style, were hailed by music critic Cormac Looney as “solemn … heartfelt … neatly funky … shoulder to shoulder with the best of Irish songwriting.? With the release of her new album, Weightless, Tessa is continuing her path to world domination. Recorded in New York City, where Tessa has found a fertile new home base, the album is a peep into the life of an outsider trying to make it on the inside. A collection of songs harvested from the rich landscapes that surround her, Tessa’s ‘sweet-as-honey’ voice tussles with some ‘lyrically brilliant’ songs with both hands, and holds them out for you to taste and savour. Co-produced by Brad Albetta, who has recently gained deserved praise for his work with Martha Wainwright, the album is the next phase of her extraordinary career, because ‘it’s the only way she knows’. Stay tuned …

SpudShow 155 Guards of Metropolis Track 1 - Don't wanna be like you
Bio The first time the members of Guards of Metropolis came together to rehearse, it wasn't in a dank basement, a state-of-the-art recording studio, or any of the other traditional locations bands typically use to hone their musical vision. It was in an abandoned chocolate factory on the outskirts of Oslo, Norway while a furious blizzard raged outside. Within 3 months of their first string of European concerts, the band left the Old World behind them for a 50 date U.S. tour which quickly garnered them glowing critical reviews, industry attention due to the "considerable buzz" (Hits Magazine) the band was creating, and an enthusiastic public response to their melodic pop rock sound, confrontational lyrics and intense live performances. Now you can discover what the excitement is all about with the release of their new 4-song EP, "Whatever It Is". Along the way they've endured immigration hassles, hurricanes, and even a band name change (they first toured the U.S. as Softcore), but they're still the same band: Two girls from Scandinavia’s Arctic Circle. Two guys from sunny California... Influences from the laid-back northern reaches of Norway and the frantic West Coast of America collide in a shimmering example of the best that both countries have to offer. A fistful of angst-driven rock and roll riffs tempered by the layered harmonies that Scandinavian groups are famous for lay the groundwork for this rock-pop manifesto. Think ABBA meets AC/DC...and then think again. Rage never sounded as pretty as it does on this stunning debut! "Accomplished songwriting and a stylized sonic flamboyance" "Pick of the Week... Nifty!" "Loaded with talent and intellect"

SpudShow 154 Artist - Gum Track 1 - Is everybody happy Bio If there is some parallel universe in which bands get into the charts because of great tunes and intelligent lyrics, and not just because they are hyped by marketing bozos in suits, Gum would be prime candidates for super-stardom and Leigh Myles would have her face on a million bedroom walls. The band released their debut album 'Low-flying Kites' to very favourable reviews in 2003. Featuring a clutch of great tunes and some spooky instrumental touches, it brought Leighs mellifluous vocals to a wider audience. One reviewer described them as sounding like Hope Sandoval fronting OK Computer-era Radiohead. Now signed to Serali Records, their current mini-album 'Seven Feeble Alibis' sees them move into slightly more muscular territory. Gum songs are usually deep and often brooding, but this album sees beefier epics like 'Beyond the Horizon' and the future James Bond theme 'Cross your heart, hope to die' take them to another level altogether. And through it all, Leigh's multi-layered backing vocals lift the killer choruses to truly dizzying heights. Both 'Seven Feeble Alibis' and 'Low-flying Kites' are available to buy from Serali Records, CD Baby and iTunes.
