" 'Not Waving But Drowning' picks up where their debut EP left off in early 2007 and once again find the group in fine form, ewaving rich, delay-laden, snakes-and-ladder like guitar tapestries of post-rock beauty that calls to mind Unwed Sailor and Explosion in the Sky. " Graham Lynch, Cork Independent.
Sideproject is a Cork based post rock 5 piece which formed in early 2006.
Since its formation the band has been fortunate enough to have shared the stage with superb acts such as Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, God Is An Astronaut, Tubelord, Blakfish, Stanley Super 800, The Subplots, Delorentos,Vesta Varro and Fight Like Apes.... aswell as supporting London illumanaries Cars In Walls and local legends REST on their national tours respectively.
The band has to date released two EPs 'Take Shelter From The Stars'
and ‘Not Waving But Drowning’ both recorded by the fantastic Ross O Donovan (Waiting Room's “Catering for Headphones”, Hooray for Humans “Safekeeping” and Cars in Wall's "Seven Cars In A Room").
As well as seeing the band embark on their first co-headline tour of the country with local greats Burn Us Both., this summer also saw the addition of the superb David Lynch (ex-Standard Deviation) to the Sideproject family.
Sideproject’s music is best enjoyed when played at half volume through pink fluffy headphones in wide-open spaces. Socks should not be worn.
Great gig Friday lads, we think ye're lovely! I was drunk off my hairy tits though and can't even remember which one of ye I was talking to about getting my hands on your first ep. Remember anything about that? Mini.
We'll be flying the flag over here alright for the weekend - Donal Dineen is coming to do visuals too...not to mention the fact that I'm from the REAL capital myself....so tis all in safe hands!!! :)
Thanks a million lads. Cork was too class. 'tis a 'Wondertown' indeed. We had a ball. Ye should come up to Kilkenny during the summer to play a gig. Check out the lads at myspace. com/patph they're mates of mine who always put on great gigs of all sorts of sounds and such. I'll get onto them. do it!
