LITE

LITE are an instrumental quartet from Tokyo, Japan. Their members are: Nobuyuki Takeda (guitar), Kozo Kusumoto (guitar), Jun Izawa (bass) and Akinori Yamamoto (drums).

Formed in 2003, LITE’s cinematic sound combines math-rock dexterity and deft interplay between instruments with influences as diverse as Shellac, Tortoise and Italian prog giants Area and Osanna. Dealing in power and precision, their debut mini-album released last year was an unheralded gem - full of beautiful dual guitar melodies over a driving, propulsive rhythm section.

Following a successful UK & Ireland tour in September 2006 and critical acclaim in their native Japan (including a no.1 college radio single “Human Gift”), LITE return with the full length album “Filmlets”. Recorded early last year, "Filmlets" takes LITE’s dynamics a step further with a bolder, more confident production and a broader palette. From the explosive “Contemporary Disease” and “On A Gloomy Evening” to the more introspective “Dead Leaf”, “Filmlets” is an exhilarating record.

The Ghostwood Project

The Ghostwood Project formed in the summer of 2004. The band is Sean Mahon (guitar), Thomas Delaney (drums), and Conor Garry (bass). They met by answering an advert in a local music shop and since then the trio have been steadily building a profile for themselves on the irish scene. They have played over 130 gigs including support slots to the Redneck Manifesto, Electric Eel Shock, Jape, The Dudley Corporation, Waiting Room, Giveamanakick and an Irish Tour with iForward Russia!

Road Records discribed them best as "sounding at times like a more rocking Mogwai with some of the epic moments of godspeed and the off tune avant rock of sonic youth". They will be on tour with LITE around Ireland and are set to release their long awaited debut album this October.
