"Tornado Lovely hits home town Mullingar"

Local boys Gerard Wayne Doyle, Clive Doyle, Ciaran Fagan, and Vincent Kearney make up Tornado Lovely. Though plans are afoot to enter the studio shortly, the Mullingar fourpiece are currently concentrating on honing their live act - with a little help from The Stables, Mullingar. That’s right, the boys are to put in an apearance this weekend on Saturday January 5.

The rock band came together just over a year ago in November 2006. After a couple of months rehearsing and writing new material, the band played their first gig during the Maynooth RAG Week Battle of the Bands. Over the next few months they played with noted Irish bands The Beat Poets, Hybrazil, We Should Be Dead, and The Fewer The Better in The Stables.

The lads began to play gigs further afield in Athlone and Maynooth, as well as regular trips up to Dublin to headline shows in Eamonn Dorans, Radio City, and The Voodoo Lounge. Their second gig in Voodoo proved to be one of their most memorable, with a great turnout and fantastic crowd response spurring the band to put on one of their most energetic and powerful live performances to date.

In July 2007 the lads entered Redlab studios in Dublin to record their debut EP, Rum. Four songs were recorded over a hectic three days, consisting of pop rock sing along Rum, crowd favourites ‘Sleeping in the Trees’ and ‘Deeper into You’, along with the destructive live set closer ‘Sonic Fuck’. The Rum EP later gave the guys their first radio airplay when barely a week after mixing it was chosen as demo of the week on ICON, a new Irish music program on Phantom 105.2.

Catch Tornado Lovely and their wealth of as yet unrecorded material this Saturday, January 5 in The Stables, Mullingar, before they hit the studio - and the big time. See www.myspace.com/tornadolovely for updates on the band.

Bio

Tornado Lovely are a four piece alternative rock band from Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. Hailed as "local heroes" by the Westmeath Examiner, Tornado Lovely have both headlined shows and supported such noted Irish talents as Hybrazil, The Fewer The Better, We Should Be Dead, The Beat Poets and Oppenheimer in The Stables, Mullingar. With regular trips to Dublin, the lads have cut their teeth in some of the city's best live music venues headlining gigs in Eamon Doran's, The Voodoo Lounge and Radio City. In July 2007 the lads entered Redlab studios in Dublin to record their debut EP, Rum. The Rum EP later gave the guys their first radio airplay when barely a week after mixing, it was chosen as demo of the week on ICON, a new Irish music program on Phantom 105.2. Their second EP, I Was Not Expecting This, gained them their second feature on ICON in April 2008 and led to a hugely successful EP launch night in Eamon Doran's on 7th April 2008. The band have recently been selected from a list of dozens of acts for the Mullingar leg of the 2fm 2morrow 2our, opening for The Caronas, Boss Valenti, and Juno Falls in the Stables, Mullingar on the 25th April 2008. Plans are afoot to re-enter the studio in the very near future, with a view to recording a mass of new material and hitting the road for a series of dates around the country. In the meantime they're to be found smoking, sweating, breaking and beating it out at their rehearsal space in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath.
