Travega are an original five-piece band hailing from Dublin & Kerry, Ireland. The band is composed of Andy Scott (Vocals), Daragh Hogan (Guitar), Moia Rowsome (Keys), Brian Pemberton (Bass) and Danny Sparkes (Drums). They have crash-landed onto the Irish music scene in the last year with their dynamic rock sound, wowing audiences and critics in Ireland with their raucous, high-energy live shows.
It's this drive and passion for music that inspires Travega to write songs that make their mark on all genres of music. Travega site a wide range of influences, running the gamut from Pink Floyd and Rory Gallagher to U2, The Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro.
After conquering their home towns by at first playing gigs in some of the more modest pubs such as Sin E and Holly’s through to the more prestigious venues such as The Academy, The Village and Whelan’s, they have cemented their status as one of the city’s leading bands. This past year has seen them tour Ireland tirelessly in support of their radio single “Bullrun”, including numerous festival appearances and as part of the IMRO 2008 tour.
Travega are beginning to make their mark aided by the popularity of their last radio single "Rewind”. The song was a perfect vehicle for Travega to draw people in with the intimacy of a ballad, while making them move with infectious rock hooks. Radio single “Rewind”, is typical of their new album, produced by Garth “Ggg” Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Biffy Clyro, Nickelback etc). Together, they've teased out the group's strengths – lyrics, harmonies and passion – and brought them into the foreground where they're impossible to ignore.
After months of recording in both Vancouver and New York, the band has crafted a mix of hard rocking songs and sublime ballads. This highly anticipated album is now set for release on July 9th 2009.
A band of true musical prowess and caliber, Travega are very much set to take the Irish music scene by storm in 2009 and 2010!!!
Hotpress Magazine had this to say about Travega: Good Irish hard rock has been a bit hard to come by, but this is a very, very promising debut Phil Udell (Hotpress Magazine)
