Noah Takes The Jungle

Formed in late 2003 Noah Takes The Jungle have been showcasing their "catchy" and "uplifting" sound throughout Dublin and Kildare in venues such as TMBC, Voodoo Lounge, The Sugar Club, The Village, The Hub, Eamon Doran's, Riverbank Theatre and many more. In 2003 at the ages of 15, 15 and 16 NTTJ recorded a 7-track E.P of original material entitled "The Alkoladic Surrealist" thus moulding their sound. Later that year they took part in the Shockwaves unsigned competition and were highly praised for their professionalism and musical ability for their age. By May '04, having written a bunch of new material, they decided it was time to hit the studio again this time taking two weeks to record a 9-track album entitled "Last Stop San Agrinas". The recording,mixing,mastering and pressing of the album was completely funded by the band without the backing of management or a label. Soon after the recording of the album the band resumed gigging until November at which time two members of the band had to break from gigging in order to "study" for their upcoming exams in June '05 thus delaying the release of "Last Stop San Agrinas". During that time NTTJ did continue to write new material and as of now have 10 to 12 new tracks written for the next recording described by drummer Stephen as "bigger and more experimental than before". You can catch some of these new tracks at NTTJ's upcoming gigs.In October 2005 They took part in the Global Battle Of the Bands.Having won their semi final heat,beating off stiff competition from 7 other bands in the process,They qualified for the regional final,only to be denied a place in the final by the overall winners.Soon after GBOB their then bassist was relieved of his services due to other commitments.Enter Mr Sean McGowan.They have recently qualified for the Emergenza Worldwide music festival semi-final to be played in late May '06.At recent shows they have been described as "explosive", "uplifting" and "musically mature way beyond their years". Set to release their album in 2006 they have high hopes for the year,and who would bet against them? Don't be fooled by their age! This is a band bound for big things.You have been warned! ---Thank you to John Crean for this article.---
