SENECA

SENECA formed in mid 2005 and on the back of recording a 5 track demo that received rave reviews by local press they won the Limerick heat of the Jack Daniels 'Hardest Working Band' Competition on their first ever live performance. They followed this up by winning the 2006 University of Limerick Battle of the bands competition. Hotpress have commented on SENECA'S live performance as mixing "Doves-y waves of sound with the perpetual motion of Arcade Fire". The Limerick Leader suggested that SENECA "Combine the heartfelt sincerity of Damien Rice's lyrics with the lush and anthemic sounds of Snow Patrol to startling effect." 2007 is already becoming an excellent year for SENECA with them having opened shows for 'THE REPUBLIC OF LOOSE', 'DIRECTOR' and 'VESTA VARRO' as well as having one song ('So Beautiful') from their forthcoming album placed on the Ceol '07 album that was launched in March and which includes songs from Bell x1, The Corr's and many more popular Irish acts. On top of this they have been touring around Ireland as much as possible, headlining in venues such as Crawdaddy; Cyprus Avenue; Roisin Dubh; Dolans; Auntie Annies and many more in preparation for their soon to be released debut album 'SWEETER THAN BOURBON'
