Cheers ballroom dude. The date of the launch has been pushed back by 24 hours. Details below: Mumblin’ Deaf Ro – The Herring and the Brine Album Launch. 16 June 2007. The Sugar Club, Leeson Street, Dublin. Admission: €10 (Includes a copy of the new album). Doors 8pm. Support on the night comes from excellent cool-big-sister rock band Medea and atmospheric musicmaker/effect wiz Fairlights. Medea. Medea is a Dublin based three-piece comprising of Edel Coffey (guitar and vocals), Mary Carton (bass and vocals) and Lynn Millar (drums). Since they formed in 2003 they have developed a sparse, melodic sound which has been likened to bands such as Joy Division, The Breeders and Sleater-Kinney. All three women share songwriting duties and are due to release their first album at some as yet unspecified future date. Medea have played several gigs throughout Ireland in the last year, including an IMRO showcase and a set at Dublin Ladyfest where they were praised for their quality sound and engaging stage presence. In January the band was hailed by Hot Press as one to watch out for in 2005. "There's an insistent brooding quality about the Medea sound, that's leavened with shafts of light and beauty" Niall Stokes, Hot Press. http://www.myspace.com/medeamusic. Fairlights. Enda Bates writes, records and performs rock/electronica under the alias Fairlights. His first release, the Deadweight EP, was recorded in 2003 and the debut fairlights album, entitled Scraps, was released on the Alphabet Set label (www.alphabetset.net) in 2005. Fairlights have played numerous gigs around Dublin including the Ballroom of Romance, Lazybird, the King Kong club and the Deaf festival. The new Fairlights album, Quarterworks was released on March 2nd. For more details see our homepage, www.fairlights.net.. http://www.myspace.com/fairlights
