Party Weirdo
This all girl three piece claim to express feminist ideals through
driving, happy, melodics music. In truth they are so much more. Their
raw melodic nous and no wave fuelled energy is like imagining how a band
featuring Kim's Deal and Gordon might have sounded had they played
together back in the early 80's. Completely unpretentious, totally
fearless and shockingly good.

StoatStoat is a 3-piece oddball indie-pop band from Leinster, comprising
Cormac Parle on bass, piano and vocals, Stephen Whelan on drums and John
Hearne on guitar and vocals. Veterans of the Dublin underground scene,
the band's two songwriters have been writing together for 18 years and
have evolved a highly distinctive sound incorporating nursery rhymes,
angular post-punk, Russian folk music and classic pop melodies, with
lyrics reminiscent of Myles Na Gopaleen. They have a reputation for
hugely entertaining live shows, involving theatrical mayhem, high jinks
and audience participation.
The band's debut album, Future Come and Get Me, was recorded in Westland
Studios in Dublin and mixed in Crystal Sound, Helsinki. It contains 12
tracks from throughout the band's existence – sea shanties jostling for
elbow room with dark-chocolate pop songs and weirdcore punk rock, all
filtered through Stoat's unique musical sensibilities and is available
at http://www.stoatmusic.com and at selected record shops.
