Slumberjet

Slumberjet are a Dublin based Powerpop trio led by Barry O'Brien.Barry was inspired to take up guitar at the age of twelve and played with various bands until he attended Ballyfermot Music College. After leaving, he formed his own band Peyote. They enjoyed mild success on the gig circuit. When Peyote went their separate ways he took a different route by singing and immersing himself in the craft of songwriting. Playing at various clubs around Dublin to develop his songs, he bought himself a 4-track recorder and assembled a CD of home demos. He quickly gathered momentum and formed Slumberjet with Keith Farrell on Bass and Aidan O’Grady on Drums. My intention was always to take what I had learned from the years of playing in singer/songwriter clubs and taking those songs back into a band format,we developed the songs I had written by playing live and then recording them. What you hear on the album are three strong musical personalities coming through on the songs.
