Oddsocks are a Sligo 4-piece who aspire to remember the importance of the elements that make for great music: melody, harmony and groove. They have developed their sound over the past 4 years to create a music style that is rich in vocal harmonies which they describe as Rhythm and Groove.

In late March, Oddsocks will release their new  EP “Something Going On”. This will be their third release under their own label Jeanie Mac Records after their debut album ‘It’s Time’. This will be preceded by the online release of their single and music video for the title track ‘Something Going On’ on March 18th.

On the record, the band are joined by keyboard player Kieran Quinn who, through the use of the Hammond organ, Rhodes piano and grand piano, helps to create a different mood not heard before with Oddsocks. Funky guitars, stacked vocal harmonies and vintage piano sounds skillfully colour each of the Ep’s four tracks proving that these boys are as dedicated to the craft of songwriting and making records as they are to playing a dynamite live show.

Oddsocks are Anthony Mannion on guitar/vocals, Luke Mercer on guitar/vocals, Michael Conefrey on bass/vocals and Danny Young on Drums/vocals. The four met in Sligo while still in school through a love for classic rock music and have since been on a journey of musical exploration which has lead them around Ireland and the UK and to their current base in Dublin’s north inner city. 

The band have gigged across Scotland, England, France and Holland as well as hitting the festival circuit ( electric picnic, Edinburgh Fringe, Volvo Ocean race, Sea Sessions). Now with a new Ep and further releases penned in for later in the year and a tour of Germany planned, 2013 promises to be a busy and fruitful year for Oddsocks.

Since forming in 2009, Crow Black Chicken have earned back-pats aplenty for their dirty southern blues sound. This power trio of Christy O Hanlon (Vocals, Guitar), Stephen McGrath (Bass) and Gev Barrett (Drums, Backing vocals) combine elements of folk,hard rock and the blues of bands like Gov't Mule to create their greasy no bullshit blues rock sound. 
 
CBC gained their first big break by winning the All Ireland battle for Glastonbury in 2011 thanks to their EP "Organic" and their raw live show. Upon the release of debut album "Electric Soup" in 2012, the trio from Ireland's deep south have won the adoration of many playing major festivals and countless venues across Ireland. 2013 saw the band return to Glastonbury and travel to Texas to record with country blues legend Ray Wylie Hubbard. 

This was the biggest year yet for CBC with their sophomore album "Rumble Shake " reaching #12 in the Irish charts as well as the subsequent rumble shake tour stopping off in Holland, Germany, Austria and Italy as well as a comprehensive All Ireland tour. The band also had a 4 page feature in Classic Rock Blues magazine with their track "Rumble Shake" on the cover mount CD

When Gallagher invited him into his dressing room, Reece started playing the opening chords of 'Wonderwall' and Gallagher sang along.
