Music Producer and Mixer from Dublin, Ireland

Amy Kelly cut her teeth fronting Dublin act ‘The Stoney Brokes’ and providing backing vocals for a number of acts in Ireland including ‘The Hot Sprockets’, ‘This Other Kingdom’ & ‘Vernon Jane’

ANDI is the new project from Amy in which she steps out into the spotlight. Amy is a performer and ANDI showcases not just her presence as a live act but also her skill as a songwriter.

ANDI started as an acoustic 2-piece and initially developed into a full band for a performance at Knockanstockan Music Festival in 2019. A stream of shows later that year lead to the recording of ANDI’s debut single, ‘Hermit’.

‘Hermit’  took influence from Tame Impala, The Pixies, Jeff Buckley & Elliot Smith. It was featured in Nialler 9, Hotpress, The Last Mixtape, it was featured on a number of Spotify Playlists and received national radio airplay.
 
In 2021 ANDI will release Housewife. Housewife is a dramatic song about feeling trapped in everyday routine, societal expectations of women and the boredom of normal life. This will be the first single from the upcoming Cedar Ward EP.

New Secret Weapon somehow magically formed on a make-shift stage in the campsite for KnockanStockan 2007. After several months of faffing about with their soon to be former bands they realised they couldn’t do without the intensity of the music that was created that magical night in Wicklow. They then embarked on a full scale assault on the Dublin music scene amassing a tally of hundreds of live shows. 

Never easily pigeonholed, New Secret Weapon’s  sound is as unique as it is intense. Punk/rock/prog/pop/psychedelia; Devoid of all gimmicks their music is written and performed with an honesty and integrity  that lend this album an importance not much seen anymore. Their Debut Album is no mere throw away, this is a life changer.



All in all, if STiiLBiRD had lived in the balmy days of the horse drawn wagons, he might have been a sculptor revelling in the plenty of reasons for life and travelling far and wide upon the back of a wild dappled grey horse, deciphering the bird song and writing novels in soliloquy while metering the road’s between his deal’s, meals and lovers. Singing his way across the land.  

"In this modern day STiiLBiRD uses rhyme, rhythm and song to convey the undeniable bonds between music, myth and the mysteries of man. Observing and absorbing the creative plights and plunders of all the life on earth. To then, with the fervour and intensity of a hawk, swoop in silence in an attempt to awaken and inspire the very essence of one's earthly existence".

 Plenty O’ Reasons to get off the familiar track, away from the storm and into the sweet summer rains in order to giveaway one’s reflection to the rivers running deep within this soul riding moment of our dreams.
