Purveyors of chiming, jangly pop songs, Hello Moon formed in Dublin in January 2010 and have since opened for internationally renowned bands such as Teenage Fanclub, Cloud Control and Lower Dens. Having played Whelan's Ones to Watch 2012 back in January, begun work on the follow up to 2011’s debut record Only Count The Sunny Hours and set to feature at the upcoming Hard Working Class Heroes showcase - not to mention the fact that track 'New Day' appeared on the soundtrack for Hollywood's Seeking a Friend For the End of the World starring Steve Carell & Keira Knightley - 2012 will have been quite a progressive year for Hello Moon.
The Great Balloon Race is a five-piece band based in Cork city. They formed their first line-up in 2009 with influences ranging from folk to psychedelic to jazz. They released their first EP in June 2011 and are currently in the process of mastering their debut album.
