Two Door Cinema Club

It doesn't seem like your typical Irish, Celtic ensemble when you initially stumble upon this electropop trio. But then again, whats the use of living in the past, drenched in tradition, when you can soar like an eagle, and make music thats both catchy, and charismatic? So, their name derives from the obvious; a local cinema in which seemed to stick like glue, and become the tag that divinely intervened the three band members. Two Door Cinema Club evolved from your typical medium of uploading material onto networking phenomena Myspace, and with a constant growing interest, the band members came to a halt with their university studies to immerse their selves into the live art of music. By 2009, the band was well on their way to a more recognisable image, and recording commenced, with their debut album following suite. Tourist History was released in the earlier months of 2010 here in Australia with a tour shortly to follow when Alex Trimble, Kev Baird, Sam Halliday head down under for whats sure to be an extravagant string of shows for the Irish musicians, and a spot on the bill for Splendour In The Grass toward the end of July. With a thirst for "anything quirky", heres hoping the band feasts their fangs into some Australiana when they're down under, and become regular visitors! You can catch Two Door Cinema Club at Splendour In The Grass at Woodford on July 31 and their sideshows at Sydney and Melbourne.
