Dublin Opinion

This is a case of “great bands” eating itself here, as the Sewing Room was comprised of members of two bands already covered by the series, Hey Paulette, and The Stars of Heaven - while Sean already talked about the Sewing Room in another post. Oh well. No matter. I picked up their album “And Nico” off Amazon last week, and so thought I’d throw up a couple of the songs.

The blurb is taken from the band’s myspace profile

In 1995 The Sewing Room’s first album “And Nico” was released on Dead Elvis Records. It was well received by the critics in Ireland, the UK and further afield in Europe. The band then recorded Radio sessions for John Peel at the BBC and also Dave Fanning at RTE. They made their first and only video for the Track “Mobile”; this track received good airplay on radio and also the RTE TV show “No Disco”. Further releases followed in the form of a 6 track E.P in 1996 entitled “Drugfree”, the title track also receiving good reviews and Airplay. The band’s last release for the Dead Elvis label was “Sympathy for the Dishevelled”, their second album. It was released 1997, the album had good reviews, but the band had lost its momentum and eventually broke up in 1998.

Enjoy.
