    'halves' is a pretty new group, but most members have been playing for
    about a decade in dublin (former bands include 'skylight' and 'oakroom').
    we decided to try something different and 'halves' is the result. heres the
    press blurb, we hope the gig will be something worth seeing:

    Already creating a stir with their unique live show, Halves are a
    distinctive new Dublin-based group. Fronted by four talented
    multi-instrumentalists, Halves' rich and idiosyncratic sound crosses
    genre, challenging convention as guitar meets accordion, violin meets
    melodica. Diverse and truly novel, Halves blend a range of instruments
    – the glockenspiel one moment, the piano the next – over guitar crescendos,
    haunting strings and both acoustic and electronic drums.

    Members Brian Cash, Elis Czerniak, Tim Czerniak and Dave Scanlon run their
    live show on the adrenaline of improvisation, as layers are made and
    sampled on the fly. This is all complemented by live projection from visuals
    duo "slipdraft"

    Halves are exceptional on the Irish scene. Broadly influenced, Halves
    craft intense, deeply resonant sound-scapes. Delicate classical motifs
    expand over electronic distortions while ambient drums and bass create
    depth and immediacy. Theirs is a rich, multi-layered sound, ambitious,
    lush and cinematic.

    Their eponymously titled EP will be available on May 11th from Tower
    Records, Road records, and online from www.ahomeforhalves.com

    Gigs:
    Tower records - Saturday May 12th, (Instore 2pm)
    Crawdaddy - Tuesday 15th May (Launch gig, 8pm, €8)
