  • Bio

    "Effortlessly blending an explosive punk energy with a pop sensibility, Machismo's uplifting songs are as sharp as a knife and as tight as a proverbial gnat's behind" - Evening Echo (Feb 09) .. .. Machismo are a Cork based band who are just beginning to make a name for themselves in Ireland's thriving music scene. The band was set up in the seaside town of Kinsale (Co. Cork) in September of 2006 and since then, they've spent endless hours crafting a unique, ear-opening brand of music. The band's expression fueled live performances are definitely their asset where strangers often leave as impressed fans. .. .. 2008 was a big year for Machismo, winning the CIT Battle of the Bands (April 08), qualifying for the UCC Battle of the Bands Final (Oct 08) and perhaps more impressively qualifying for the National Finals of the Blastbeat / Sunday World LA or Busk competition in The Village in Dublin. (Sept 08) .. .. Machismo recorded their debut EP "The Swell" in Data Recording Studios, Kerry through September and October 2008. They released it to a packed house on the 29th January in The Pavilion, Cork City and have since secured and played support slots with bands like "The Blizzards", "The Dirty Epics" and " Vesta Varro" but to name a few .. .. The first track on the EP - "Don't Free Your Ego" reached number 4 in the weekly download charts on download.ie and has received airplay on Ireland's Today FM and more locally on Cork's RedFM and 96FM. .. .. Machismo recently saw themselves sharing the stage with rock veterans "The Charlatons" as they were chosen as the Cork act to play the coors light peak festival in the docklands. An experience that has only fueled their ambition to take on the World. Or Ireland at least. .. Their debut album is set to blow some minds (and eardrums) in 2010. .. ..

    Hopefully we sound like our own band. If we sound like some other band is there really any point?
