ADELA AND THE MEANITS (BalconyTV)
- 5 years ago
PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
BROUGHT TO YOU FROM THE MORGAN HOTEL IN TEMPLE BAR
Catapulted from years of abject obscurity in the Irish midlands, Adela and the Meanits are quickly gaining a reputation as "one of the best, quirky and most original acts to hit the Irish scene in years" (Stage Left)
Having recently played the world famous music and arts festival, Electric Picnic 09, Adela and the Meanits are set to release their debut album just in time for this years summer festivals.
After a chance encounter on a St Patrick's Day float in Portlaoise, Adela met drummer Ros O' Meara. Then a member of several bands, Ros introduced Adela to Barry Hayes who in turn introduced everyone to John Davidson. Like peas in a far out pod...they became Adela and the Meanits.
Nominated as Best Female at the Balcony TV Awards 07, and hyped as the "new queen of the local indie scene" by Hot Press, Adela has also made a video 'Party for Three' with the New York Film University. The song has been described as "Sesame Street on craic" and as having "hit written all over it" according to John Creedon of RTE Radio 1.
Their music has been likened to Madness, Sultans of Ping and Lily Allen, but comparisons aside, Adela and the Meanits have an infectious, happy buzz in their sound.
So far Adela has played support to John Spillane, Eleanor McEvoy, Liam O Maoinlai, Don Mescall, Gavin Glass, Juliet Turner Damien Dempsey, Mick Flannery and Arthur Ebeling.
