Katie and the Carnival are an energetic and engaging group hailing from Belfast. Fronted by the transcendental Katie Richardson; the stereotype of the quirky female vocalist. Katie creates the kind of smokey jazz that Norah Jones might make if you snuck a load of vodka in her diet coke!

The bands music is soulful and harmoniously driven with influences from folk, pop, jazz, rock and a little bit of dark cabaret!

Listen to her single Fancy Face below, which is out Nov 1st!

What’s that I hear you saying??…I KNOW THAT VOICE, you may indeed have heard in on the telly!

K&TC recently recorded and arranged the track ‘Bring me Sunshine’ for a Dale Farm advert, which began its TV run in the Summer of 2011.

Well done to Henrietta Game the band that the Irish Independent hailed as the Irish Arcade Fire! After having a very prominent buzz around the release of their debut album ‘Black Ship’ this year, and receiving critical Acclaim along side being awarded RTE Radio 1 Album Of The Week; they were recently shortlisted as the TOP 3 Breakthrough folk acts of 2011. The band being shortlisted so early in their career is a sign of great things to come.

Hailing from Dublin’s North inner city, The Original Rudeboys formed in early 2011. Taking their name from a T-shirt rhyme master Neddy was wearing at an impromptu house party gig, the band have created a unique and refreshing sound combining guitar and ukelele with soulful vocal melodies and street smart lyrical word-flow. The viral smash ‘Stars In My Eyes’ out now on iTunes download.

The Wonder Villains have soared high above teen angst and anger. Having just completed their A-Levels they’re now busy dishing out helpings of joyful, blistering anti-pop, while finding out how high they can push the distortion on their homemade keyboard sounds. Single ‘Zola’ has recently been serviced to Radio in Ireland and The UK and with much buzz about them, for an indie act they are rising and have come in as one of the TOP 5 chart radio entries this week. Along with R.E.M, One Direction + The Saturdays.

They have also been getting spins over in the UK on BBC Radio1, a high coup for an Indie band!

Listen here to see why Wonder Villains are getting a buzz going:

//THE SAW DOCTORS// Single ‘HAZARD… AKA THE COUNTRY IS FUCKED”

Out Fri. Oct 14th

Taken from The No. 1 charted Irish Album:  ‘The further adventures of….”

“Album of the week” RTE Radio 1 ‘Made for crowd sing-a-longs’ Irish Times

“Celebrating the parts of real Ireland that most other bands don’t reach.” HOTPRESS****

In the last year, The Saw Doctors blazed back phoenix-like, to their rightful place as one of the nation’s most-loved bands. It’s 2011 and here is a band withstanding the odds of the current music age, who still know how to recreate and procreate the songs that put them were they are now; part of Irelands elite, well-known and most loved bands of the past two decades.

‘Hazard’, their new single, is a song about post-Celtic tiger Ireland where almost half a million people are back on the Dole. Born into a repressed, catholic, conservative, small-town, agrarian, angst-ridden and show band infested society, The Saw Doctors are trying to preserve the positive elements of their background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally invaded their milieu through TV, radio, 45’s, fast food restaurants, 24 hour petrol stations and electric blankets.

The Saw Doctors play the following Irish shows:

01 October Saturday, Fontwell Racecourse

12 November Saturday, Dublin Academy

18 November Friday, Belfast Mandela Hall

20 November Sunday, Derry Millennium Forum

See lyrics below.

Hazard aka The Country is F**ked (3.27)

(D.Carton/L.Moran) Please note there is no actual swear words in this song.

The days won’t matter,

And the weeks won’t matter

And the months won’t matter

Shoes won’t matter,

Your tie won’t matter

Your hair won’t matter

So hold on tightly

I’ve handed in the car keys and the phone

The Hazard is back in The Cellar

And me well I’m back on the rock and roll.

Your watch won’t matter

Your phone won’t matter

Your files won’t matter

Targets won’t matter

Deadlines won’t matter

The pressure won’t matter
