2008 has been a phenomenal year for The Coronas. Their debut album “Heroes or Ghosts” achieved platinum selling status in Ireland, they successfully embarked on tours in the UK and the US, and they ended the year with an amazing headline show in Dublin’s prestigious Olympia Theatre.
When asked their highlight of their year recently Graham Knox (Bassist) said, “It’s hard to pick a highlight because the year has gone so fast and we’ve crammed so much in to it. I think for me one of the highlights was playing the Ambassador Theatre in Dublin in February as it was our first big headline show and it went as well as any of us could have possibly hoped.”
Danny O’Reilly (lead Vocal, Guitar and Piano) thought Oxegen ’08 was the highlight for him. “ Playing the main stage at such a big festival was a dream for us. We had about 30,000 people singing our songs back to us. It really was a surreal and amazing experience”
2009 is looking to be an even busier year for band, after signing a licensing deal in Japan with JVC for their first album, the band travel to Tokyo in March for a string of dates.
2009 will also see The Coronas release their first single ‘Decision Time’ in the UK on the 23rd of March with the album ‘Heroes or Ghosts’ to follow in May.
The Coronas have just been nominated for two Meteor Irish Music Awards for 2008. For the second year running they have been nominated for Best Pop act along side The Blizzards and the Script. Their second nomination is for Best Live act with Republic of Loose and Swell Season.
With such a great year behind them The Coronas are very much looking forward to the next 12 months and getting in to the studio again to record their eagerly awaited second album
