Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Kinko: Being in a pub past midnight as a child the fleadh ceoil (Irish traditional music festival) and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Damien Dempsey, Seize the Day The Pogues, Rum Sodomy & the Lash The Scratch, Couldn't Give a Rats Tomas: Rum Sodomy & the Lash - This got me back into Irish music when I was rebelling against it Pádraig Ó: Seize the Day Kinko: Couldn't Give A Rats. It mixes funny lyrics w/ Irish slang words and a heavy beat. Funny while at the same time banging
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “A Health to the Company” Pádraig Óg: In comparison to the rest of the tracks on this album, this song completely alters the mood. After the madness and lunacy of the first 6 tracks, the listener is brought back to reality with this lovely duet between Tomás & Méabh Mulligan.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Tomás: The Scratch calling me up on stage at the Point was an absolute trip Aongus: Playing the 3 stage at Electric Picnic. Place was going mad - it was a bit surreal.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Adam: Play a head line show in the Olympia, Or the transport club in Crumlin. Aongus: World tour. Failing that Hull and Huddersfield. Kinko: Loads, play in America, get an album in some charts, learn more instruments and play Croke Park.
