Rock it out with Redtwelve and Crimson
Irish rockers Redtwelve are hitting the road to promote their debut album "Mines'", playing The Stables on Saturday, February 20, with support from local rockers Crimson. Recorded in their own studio, they have put their heart and soul into an album, which they will be promoting on their tour around the country in 2010 Over the years Redtwelve have taken part in some of the most prestigious music events in Ireland and played with some of the top acts on the circuit. From their first ever acoustic gig as support to folk-hero Josh Ritter, to winners of 'Colleges Band & Song of the Year', they have shown great diversity in their appeal to fans of different styles of music. They have been finalists in the IMRO Showcase Tour and the O2 New Bands Competition, wowing the crowd at both events. They have played alongside established acts such as Duke Special, the Wall brothers (aka The Stunning), Bellx1 and the now defunct Turn. As a result of their live performances both at home and in the UK they were invited by 2FM to record a live session for the Dave Fanning show, which was well received in music circles. Following on from nationwide tours they decided to put all the hard work, energy and passion from these shows onto disc. Redtwelve have poured blood, sweat and tears into an album which has been a long, but hugely rewarding journey for them. Redtwelve will be supported by local alternative rock fourpiece Crimson. After many years of paying tribute to their heroes as a covers group, Crimson left the covers circuit and began writing their own material. Supporting many bands, Crimson's fan base is rapidly growing throughout the country and the boys are currently recording their debut album which is due for release later this yea, so watch this space! But for now, you can catch Redtwelve and Crimson on Saturday, February 20 in The Stables.
