Bio
February 2009
Four mates from the schoolyard pitch in Dublin. “Travel Light” was self released in November 2007. The venues: Buffalo, Rhinebeck, Manhattan, NYC and Lexington KY. Started in a northern blizzard and finished under a southern sun. Hailed by critics and fans on both sides of the sea. Playing it live while writing material for the next recorded effort. The notebooks are full. Ensconced in the Nellcote basement for the past two months creating demos.
Hang on, hold on.
About
"A tremendous example of the fact that one doesn’t need gimmicks if you’ve got it where it counts. They’ve got harmony, they’ve got rhythm and they deliver from pretty much the first note." The Toronto Sun "NXNE Collection 2008"
"They're now coming on in lyrical leaps and musical bounds. STAND may Travel Light, but they mostly fly first class."
