Homeless Mafia are an alt/funk/reggae/punk/rock band based in Sligo in the north west of Ireland. The band consists of Darren Regan (Vocals, Lead Guitar), Conor Browne (Keyboard) and Christopher Regan (Bass). The band first formed in January 2012 as a pub cover band under the name The Vanities, however we realised that we were all a bit too ugly and a bit too humble to deserve such a moniker and considering that the last three venues we had played had since closed down (and we swear it was nothing to do with us) we decided to switch to the name Homeless Mafia. Our sound covers a wide range of whatever the hell the previous night's drinking has produced in our heads and we have such diverse influences as The Smiths, Talking Heads, Jeff Buckley, Alice in Chains, Bad Brains, Elliot Smith, The Low Anthem, My Bloody Valentine, Weezer and of course, Jedward (that last one was a joke just in case the sarcasm was a bit difficult to spot there). We hope you like the chunes and even more so, we hope you come see us live, cos we're actually much prettier in real life than on our facebook profile. 

Keepers of Doubt (commonly referred to as The Keepers) are an Irish indie rock band. 
Formed in 2010 Dublin Ireland, the band currently consists of Marc Roche (lead vocals), Fergal O’Kelly (guitar, backing vocals), Alan Dempsey (guitar), Kieran Harrington (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Tiarnan Johnston (drums). 
Keepers of Doubt have a playing style which is largely influenced by indie rock, punk and reggae.
The band has released a four-track demo: Keepers of Doubt (2010) and their first studio album: Uncertain Silence (2012). 
Uncertain Silence comprises of 10 songs that are the brain child of the band songwriters Marc, Fergal and Alan. When asked at a recent interview with 2XM (RTE Radio’s Digital Station) to describe what was their inspiration for writing the album, they said: “We write about our lives and share our views on hangovers (Blackout), broken hearts (Out of My Hands), ruined societies (Cash Cow) and ultimately keeping the faith (No Time for Doubt)”. 
In a bid to retain a certain rawness & freshness our debut album Uncertain Silence, was recorded in just 8 weeks and with most of the tracks being recorded in a single take
Keepers of Doubt have begun to track new songs for their follow up to Uncertain Silence which they hope to release at the end of 2013.

Ka tet are a Galway(Ireland) based, three-piece rock band whose sound focuses as much on 3 part vocal harmonies as it does on crunchy guitar riffs, gripping rhythms and chunky bass undertones.
Their hard hitting music has been compared to the likes of Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures. The band encapsulates elements of all of these influences, combining them to create a unique and exciting new sound.

2013 was an unbelievable year for Ka tet, which saw them release their début album ARCADIA, and tour Ireland extensively in support of its release. The album has received fantastic reviews from some of Ireland's most respected music writers and was recently named in Chew Your Own Fat's Best of 2013 list!

Ka tet we're also featured and interviewed twice on The Mix Up with Colm O'Sullivan on Today FM following the release of their first two singles 'Let my Lady' and 'Bob n Charlie'.

2014 is shaping up to be even better, with a UK tour already under their belts, the band have been confirmed for several Irish festivals this summer including Vantastival, Kfest, Philfest and Light Colour Sound Festival. Ka tet have built up a reputation as an act that needs to be experienced live.
ARCADIA REVIEWS
____________________________________________________________________________
“This is GOD. Baby on the Brink is an international radio hit!”-Kim Fowley(ex-manager of The Runaways)
____________________________________________________________________________
“An exciting, raw debut album Arcadia works to show Ka tet musical talents and abilities in a strong introduction from the Galway natives that contains flashes of real brilliance.” -Stephen White, TheJournalist.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“The Waiting is laced with the menace and World’s Edge with its rousing sing-a-long chorus “treat me better” is one of those tunes that will stick in the head for days on end.” -Frank Hughes, Goldenplec.com
____________________________________________________________________________
"With rock being so predictable these days, it’s nice to hear a band that is willing to be adventurous. They are able to craft songs that make you want to bang your head but also allow you to sit back and enjoy the ride. Across the entire album the sheer quality of songwriting and musicianship never lets up for one single second. Add to this, the fact that snippets Heavy Rock, 60′s pop melodies and Rock n’ Roll combine effortlessly on this album, then its unique sound and status becomes clear. ‘Arcadia’ by Kat tet really is indispensable for any discerning rock-music fan!"- Rick Jamm, Jamsphere.com

“Seamlessly shifting between heavy desert stomp and mellow passages, with the odd jazz noodle thrown in for good measure, the Ka tet lads are taking the term “radio friendly” and ripping it apart.”-Pauly K, chewyourownfat.com
____________________________________________________________________________
“Their new album, “Arcadia”, is a delightful combination of a rockabilly pounding and a more relaxed, softened out music essence. Moreover, there is a slight presence of jazz added to the mix to provide this wonderfully heavy rock offering. Ka tet are unafraid of educating Irish audiences on what real, and deliciously imperfect music sounds like. Instead of cramming a debut album with a handful of classics and multiple filler tracks, “Arcadia”, is an album that is pure gold from start to finish.”- Elaine McDonald, dublinconcerts.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“The rhythm section powers the whole album along, mixed with some great harmonising and guitar work result in producing a strong debut effort. ‘Baby on the Brink’ is held together by a riff Mr Iommi himself would be proud of. Personal highlight is ‘Bob N’ Charlie’, an acoustic led song very different to the rest of the album but demonstrating the eclecticism of the music on offer. One band I’ll be sure to catch live at the first opportunity.”- Ross Scott, chordblossom.com
____________________________________________________________________________
"Ireland has produced a batch of incredible rock bands in many styles over the years i.e. Thin Lizzy, U2, Van Morrison, Rory Gallagher, Boomtown Rats. Ka tet, c'mon in, your pure rock is embracing both musically and lyrically. If the album "Arcadia" is an indication, it will only get even better from here on out"- Jonathan L Radio Programmer and Presenter, Lopsided World Of L

PRESS QUOTES
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet produce a slightly abrasive style of math rock, using a fantastically
inconsistent rhythmic backdrop to add multiple dimensions to their sound” -AU
Magazine
____________________________________________________________________________
“If you’re a fan of Kyuss/QOTSA then Ka tet will be right up your alley. The band take their art pretty seriously too, which is a breath of fresh air in these days of every chucklehead with an M-Audio box ham-fistingly recording every note they play, and expecting some sort of pay off. The point is; keeping it old school works. Which sorta sums up Ka tet.“ -chewyourownfat.com
____________________________________________________________________________
“If ambitions stay true and continue in the direction that they are going,
then this could be a big year for them. Their sound is rock and funk and God damn, it’s good! “-Ray Wingnut’s BIG ONES, Drop-d.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet employ a wide variety of musical styles and subject matter in their
songs. From the haunting ballad “Bob ’n’ Charlie” which tells the story of one man’s descent into the seductive world of addiction and his subsequent battle for freedom to the quick and heavy “Worlds Edge”.- Denis Mannion Drop-d.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet have, through their electric live performances and quality demo
recordings, built up a solid reputation and fan base as one of the best rock / alt / experimental bands around, with grinding guitars, pulsing percussion and Tommy rocking the mic with powerful Eddie Vedder-esque stylings ...”-Limerick Entertainment Guide
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet performed an incredibly tight live set. The lines “Wake up, wake up
now” still ring in my ears as many elements of their live set edged their way into my brain for the rest of the weekend.”-Ros Madigan, Goldenplec.com
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet are one of the west’s hardest working bands. With their original
sound, creativity and enthusiasm, these guys are ones to watch.
“-Fergal D’Arcy, i102-104
____________________________________________________________________________
"This is an example to any band out there who wants to take the game seriously; make an album, put out some killer singles, make the effort with your videos, and gig your asses off. Music wise, the lads switch between down beat and sombre, to soaring and scuzzy, with consummate ease. Another solid tune. I reckon if you’ve got a Kyuss record in your collection, then you need Ka tet in your life." - Pauly K, chewyourownfat.com
____________________________________________________________________________
"How I let this band slip me by is questionable. They have an essence of
Josh Homme’s Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age about them, and I don’t just mean in the vocals. It’s scuzzy rock music from the west..." - 7billionpeople.net
____________________________________________________________________________
“Their combined passion and lively energy together with Tommy’s soaring lyrics creates many surreal moments during their performance. These guys are a hard act to follow!”- The Dublin Randomness Meetup, Meetup.com

“Ka tet’s star is only just beginning to rise and there’s no telling how high
it will go.”-mayonews.ie
