Info/Biography
| Be Wide.....Here come's The Shades....!!! on Friday the 24th of June The Shades release their brand spanky new 4 track EP "Snapped Elastic" on cork's newest imprint Rok Records. In order to celebrate this fact the boys have decided to have a bash. The Shades play the Spiegletent on Kyrl's Quay in Cork city on the same date. Joining them for the evenings festivities are REST..sonic experimentalists in minimalism and musical mayhem.Your host for the evening is Red fm's very own Colm o Sullivan.Not only will you get to listen to his dulcid tones but also will get to flavour some of the musical smorgasbord that makes his show such essential audio candy. Snapped Elastic has to be surely The Shades finest hour (well actually 18 mins).More big band than beatbox,with bits of Bacharach, Spectoresque soundscapes and hints of the Blue Nile, the Shades sound has grown and matured like a fine Chianti.Athmospheric and lyrically lush the 9 piece will be joined in the Spiegletent by a string quartet to truly represent the EPs big and brassy sound |
