THE DEAD FLAGS at CRAWDADDY Saturday 11th July (Press Release)
“THE DEAD FLAGS are not just good, they’re irritatingly good. Your daddies died in the punk wars for this”- HOT PRESS Magazine
Friends, lend us your ears. THE DEAD FLAGS play a special show at Dublin’s renowned Crawdaddy venue this Saturday 11th July and you, the public, will not want to be elsewhere.
Straight outta Sligo, the band have spent the last year building a sizeable national following and establishing a reputation for energetic and life-affirming live performances on a seemingly endless national tour. Three men banging out guitar pop with an emphasis on witty lyrics and melodies you’ll still be humming this time next week, the band cite Eels, Supergrass and early Violent Femmes as their main influences.
Their song “I Can’t Be Held Responsible” will be familiar to many from Alison Curtis currently using the track as a jingle for her nightly Today FM show as well as regular airplay on BBC Radio One, 2FM, Phantom and more. The song is taken from the band’s 4-Track EP “We’ve Got The Ways And The Means”, produced by rising Irish producer Karl Odlum (Ham Sandwich, The Frames).
The release of their infectious debut single “O My Love! O My God!!” in August 2008 brought them critical acclaim - “Pick Of The Fortnight” (Hot Press), “Single Of The Week” (Irish Daily Star) and “Song of the Month” (Campus.ie) - as well as Chart Success with the single peaking at No.22 in the IRMA Irish Singles Chart and No. 1 on DownloadMusic.ie.
With a European tour just rapping up, the band now enter the studio with Odlum to work on their debut album. Saturday’s show will showcase new and old material, all on the shortlist for these imminent recording sessions, as well as helping to provide the means to make those sessions happen.
