PRESENTED BY STARTURTLE
Three years ago, 4 musicians got together and decided to form the best band the world had ever seen. However if asked, any member of Star Turtle would say it only began in earnest about 1 year ago when they pressed their first EP and played a small gig in Dublin's Bia Bar.
Comprising of vocalist / guitarist Matt Walker, his brother Jona on bass, guitarist Daragh Hoey and drummer Gary Nixon, Star Turtle launched that debut EP in Crawdaddy one month later.
Realizing there is no substitute for consistent gigging, the band have gone out and played an average of a gig a week over the last 12 months.
Over the summer, Star Turtle went back in to the studio with Dublin guitar legend Q (Colm Quearney) to record a new single (Nightmares & Videogames). The resulting session (with 2 bonus b-side tracks) will available for purchase very shortly.
Now the band have a busy schedule ahead of them as they head out to play gigs around the country including a slot at the upcoming Hard Working Class Heroes Festival in Dublin.

STARTURTLE PLAY THE VILLAGE ON FRIDAY THE 22ND!!!!
