Bio
............ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .. A chance meeting by Baltimore ex-pat Jason Serious and Donegal art teacher and former vocalist Grainne McMenamin in a local Munich park lead to the formation of Flea Market Poets during the lazy summer of 2008. Described as an "inspired and melodious version of the United Nations" by State magazine, the band recorded and released its debut album "Dirty Days" in March 2009 with producer Brian Reno. After randomly being introduced to Brian at a party by a mutual friend, Hazel x was significantly impressed enough to jump on board as a tour bassist, before joining the band permanently on guitar in the summer of 2009. .. .. Off the back of a glowing review of "Dirty Days" and a single-of-the-fortnight accolade for "Black Heart" by Ireland's premier alternative music magazine "Hot Press", these well-travelled oddities played a warmly-received tour of The Emerald Isle in October 2009, which included a prestigious in-store performance at Tower Records, Dublin. .. .. In the midst of recording its follow-up album, the band takes a break and returns to Ireland in July 2010 to play a select number of acoustic and full-band shows. With the inclusion of Johannes (Joschy) Jooss on drums and sporting its new streamlined four-piece line-up, the band will once again be re-united with its former backing singer Grainne on select dates. .. .. ..What people are saying about ..Dirty Days..:.. .. ..“Superbly textured stadium rock” (Dirty Days), “classy indie country” (Annie Superstar) and “sleek speed-punk” (Black Heart) ..- Hot Press .. .. ..“Great mix of rock, indie and punk sounds” ..- Helmet Löwe, koeln.de .. .. ..“Awesome music! Sentimental and beautiful” ..– Tanja Prade, Cool & Fresh.. .. ....“I like it” ..- Bob Geldof.. .....and some kind words from people that have tuned in to the album so far..... .. .."it's actually some pretty damn good music... ".. Vic, Puerto Rico.... .."This CD is an awesome mix of what happens when talented artists push themselves in all directions at once".. Xylla, Seattle.... ..“as a longtime listener, I will admit I have only heard snippets of the greatness that is within this CD. I will buy it. you should buy it. Obama should buy it!! .. Eric, Dallas.. ..
