SOMETHING'S BOUT TO RUMBLE IN DUBLIN! THEN THE WORLD!!!
MOEBIUS
Beginning life as a three piece outfit,
Irish Indie/Rock band, Moebius, have evolved
into a quintet and are proud to present
their debut album,
IF IT AIN’T HARD IT AIN’T WORTH DOIN
To date the band have built their own recording
studio, independently released 3 EP’s, 2 IRMA
charted singles and have had two music videos
produced.
The band consist of the enigmatic lead singer
and front man Michael Joyce, guitarist Paul
Farrell, bassist Dave Connelly, drummer Pawel
Bebenca and keys/programmer Keith Gamble.
Like most bands today, the boys have wide and
varied musical influences, ranging from The
Who and The Stone Roses, Oasis to DJ Shadow and
The Specials. Each band member has tried to
contribute from their own personal influences
to mould the Moebius sound, which we believe
has International appeal.
Displaying that old punk ethos of D.I.Y., the
band relocated to Poland and self
financed the production of the album and have
worked with Marcin Limek and Piotr Matysiak,
two established and respected Polish music
producers. Recorded in the Nintysixproject
Studios, the band have crafted an album that
has intensity, aggressiveness and attitude,
while in equal measure lilts into more melodic,
melancholic and upbeat moments.
Upon returning from recording the album in
Poland, Moebius have been busy rehearsing the
new material from the album and have played
some notable gigs, including the very first
PKO BP Festival held at the mighty Wembley Arena.
Other notable highlights for the band were
appearances at both Castlepalooza and Cork
Fringe Festivals, a highly successful single launch in the Sugar Club
as well as all the top venues in Dublin City to their ever
increasing loyal fan base.
UK, German and Dutch gigs are penciled in for mid '09. Try and catch them if you can, it will be well worth the effort! The new single and video BLACKSHEEP OF THE FAMILY is out NOW, GO GET IT:).
Press;
' since “Under Wraps”, Moebius have improved greatly. The new collection of songs shows a huge leap forward both in musicianship and technique. Assured, confidant and more than capable of breaking through, not just on the Irish scene but internationally also.
Your ears will thank you for checking out this band...'
RODDIE CLEERE - WLRfm

taking off…’
EAMON CARR - Evening Herald Review
‘ Moebius are a band getting to grips with
their own manifesto and moving relentlessly
forward…’
JACKIE HAYDEN - Hotpress Review
‘ with their debut single, Bring It On, they have
spawned a veritable whirlwind that picks you
up, spins you around and dumps you on the
mat…’
HOTPRESS PICK OF THE FORTNIGHT WINNERS REVIEW
' Fantastic stuff...'
MIKE HOGAN - 98 FM
‘ the new single has an anthemic quality about
the chorus and is instantly memorable. Clearly a
band to watch…’
DANNY MCEILHENNY - Mail On Sunday
‘ something has been stirring in the underbelly
of the Dublin music scene, and emerging from
this is a band that may finally breakout into the
mainstream, that band is Moebius…’

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!
Post-punk power trio Autoban bring their
fusion of guitar-hookery, punchy rhythms and stiletto-sharp lyrics to

Tribly or Top Hat, the possibilities are endless. So get your Thinking
Cap on and dig out your finest for a hat-tastic night of dirty dancing.
Hats are compulsory, dissidents will be shamed and ladies can
accessorize, obviously.
Support on the night comes from a motley crew of Dublin's finest party djs. Check myspace.com/autoban for details. Tix from ticketmaster.ie
