DUBLIN

2008 -

OVERVIEW Reader's Wives are the kind of band we've all missed. Their avant garde pop music is the result of the four people involved, both musically and socially. They are Dubliners Niall James Holohan, Chris Morrin, Doug Farrell & Disko, and Reader's Wives is where these four guys’ hectic lives meet. In 2008, songwriter Niall James Holohan produced an album of his best twelve tunes with a view to starting a band called Reader's Wives. Once tracked, Niall passed rough mixes of the album among friends in the Dublin underground, looking for the right combination of beautiful madheads to build on it's musical blueprint of eclectic, tidy indie rock tunes with teeth. The band took to the road, fast becoming one of Ireland's most active bands in Europe. Eighteen months on, Reader's Wives are now a solid four piece with a sound like no other independent band doing the rounds. Following two memorable nights at Electric Picnic last summer, their debut 'Secrecy & Sex' EP was released to critical acclaim in Ireland, the UK and Europe in November 2009. The band played shows in both London & Dublin to promote the release, making friends & collecting fans along the way. Now, with recording well underway on the brand new Reader's Wives album (due for release in summer 2010) the band release their second EP, featuring the lead track Victor's Mother Juliet and four additional songs. Written & recorded in it's entirety at the band's squat off Dublin's Dame Street, the artwork was created by local indie club Tranmissions' in house photographer Kevin Breen. With a tailored social media campaign supported by Ireland's answer to YouTube, MUZU TV, the Victor's Mother Juliet, the EP simply couldn't have been made anywhere else in the world other than Dublin. To celebrate the EP's release, the Wives will play two headline nights in Dublin's Shebeen Chic to kick off a series of Irish shows and a hectic period of activity. Domestic TV appearances, radio sessions and interviews on and offline are being scheduled. The band will support the release with UK and European shows to be announced shortly and will be augmenting activity with the kind of fun & active campaign that sets them apart from their contemporaries. Plug in to ensure you don't miss out on the rise of Ireland's finest four piece. 2008 - Release of 'Advertising Heroin' single - Release of 'Reader's Wives' album [29 March] 2009 - Release of 'Secrecy & Sex' EP - Release of 'Summer Mugging' EP - Release of 'Entr'acte' mini album [03 March] 2010 - Release of 'Victor's Mother Juliet' EP [15 March] 2011 - Release of 'Rachel's Appartment' album [01 July]
