fred Bio:
FRED are the most exciting band to come out of Ireland in a long time. The 5 piece from Cork City have exploded onto the Irish music scene and now look set to launch their unique brand of high-energy odd-rock on the rest of the planet. “Like Sly & The Family Stone in a swordfight with the Flaming Lips, refereed by Brian Wilson” according to national newspaper The Irish Post, FRED take everything that is good about music and put it in one giant sexy-**** package. Imagine your favourite song, now imagine your favourite song cooking you dinner. That’s how good FRED are. Releasing their magnificently glorious album ‘Making Music So You Don’t Have To’, to a sold out Opera House, the record has since brought feelings of tenderness and unbridled joy to all that have heard it, with some fans going so far as to say that their souls burst on listening. How can one band make so many feel this way? By bulldozing all musical boundaries that lay in their path. From being mere cult heroes in their native city one year ago, they have gone on to appear on every radio station, TV channel and stage in the country. From being used as theme music on national radio and TV shows (and beyond to the world famous BBC studios) enlisting droves in the FRED army everywhere they go……….. In the last year alone, they played to over 20,000 people at their own shows, excluding major festival appearances. This is the beginning of something special |
