Dublin and London dates for The Lost Brothers

The Lost Brothers will support Jimmy Webb in The Sugar Club in Dublin on Monday next, 14th February . The group includes Oisín Leech from Navan and Mark McCausland from Omagh who both sing and play guitar. The duo will perform material from their new albums. Oisín says: "We have two new albums coming out this year. One, entitled So Long John Fante was recorded in a converted steel factory, Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield, where Jarvis Cocker works. The personnel included Richard Hawley's band which includes Colin Eliot, Shez Sheridan and Dean Beresford." The second new album, Hazel Wind, was recorded in Portland, Oregon with M Ward's band. M Ward - Matthew Stephen Ward, is a singer songwriter from Portand, Oregon. Oisín describes the music on the two albums: “The Sheffield album is a warm Summer's morning and the Portland album is a winter's day with frost and rusted bicyclesâ€. On the subject material for the songs Oisín says that he hopes that people can take their own meaning from them. The Lost Brothers have set up their own label Bird Dog Recordings. The music that is on their myspace site, www.myspace.com/thelostbrothersmusic, was recorded in the winter 2007 in The Blue Rooms in Portland, Oregon and the Type Foundry in Portland “We just did a London residency in the venue The Slaughtered Lamb with some friends,Drew and Sarah, joining us on double bass and cello. Drew is from Babyshambles played double bass and Sarah McMahon from Dublin played Cello," explains Oisin. The Lost Brothers have recently appeared on music shows on television.
