LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES..    

 WHAT'S AVAILABLE........

DC Tempest are an Indie rock band from Dublin, consisting of Alan Starr (vocals/guitar), Lee Tomkins (guitar/vocals), Seán Hurley (keyboards/guitar). 

May 2008 saw DC Tempest release the "Into The Light" EP which was received with critical acclaim by Hotpress Magazine who described the EP as an "impressive statement of intent".  Radio stations such as Phantom FM and FM 104 also took note and the band started the summer with a stunning performance supporting Bon Jovi at Punchestown Racecourse.

Following an extremely hectic summer, the band released their single "Coming Back Around" in October 2008 which earned them a slot by way of public vote (hotpress.com) on the Live Stage at the celebrated annual Hotpress Music Show in the RDS.

2008 saw DC Tempest sharing the stage with the likes of Cathy Davy, Republic Of Loose, Razorlight, The Coronas, Kid Rock and Damien Dempsey to name but a few.  The band have built up a reputation as one of Irelands’ finest live acts with their ever-growing fan base enraptured by a captivating performances and quality tune-smithery.

2009 seen the release of their much anticipated 2nd single “Imagination”, taken from their debut album which is set for release in early 2010. The guys are currently working on their album jumping between their Dublin studio Area 94 and The Nutshed studio, Clara.

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
