Steeple Remove
Steeple Remove are 5 art-rock storm troopers from Rouen France, playing a unique blend of new wave layered atmospheric pop with hypnotic kraut flavoured, phaser driven analogue dance-rock floor-fillers. Summoning Brian Eno's ambient atmosphere and the ghost of 'My Bloody Valentine' expect to hear them on a Sophia Coppola soundtrack soon. Their new album 'Radio Silence' is being released in October.

Halfset
Halfset are an electronic quartet featuring Stephen Shannon (producer/engineer) , Jeff Martin (who has released two solo albums to date), Cillian Mc Donnell (formerly of Jubilee Allstars and electro act Hidden Fortress) and Sinead Nic Gearailt.

Originally conceived as a studio project to record one song, the dynamic worked so well that the band decided to rise to the challenge of taking their complicated set-up to a live audience. They employ an unusual combination of programmed beats and live instruments - including vocals, drums/persussion, guitars, glockenspiel, harp, trumpet, mandola and old analog synths. Halfset have played across the country and have performed with many of their contemporaries including - Pulse Programming (Vertical Forms), Telefon Telaviv (Hefty Records) and Fingathing (Grand Central).

Halfset released their critically acclaimed debut album "Dramanalog" in April 2005 on Elusive Recordings (home of Jimmy Behan and the Eklectra compilations). Produced, engineered and mixed by the band themselves, it took no less than 3 years to complete. However unlikely as it sounds their second album is almost complete, tracks of which are being previewed live to rapturous acclaim. Needless to say this will be the first eagerly awaited release on the New Year.
