Angel Lane set for an INTRIGUE-ing New Year

Limerick Superclub Angel Lane have confirmed details of their much anticipated New Year’s Party. The night will kick off at 10pm sharp with a Champagne Reception immediately followed by up and coming Limerick band INTRIGUE. The band were formed in 2003 and had great success with their single written and produced by the band “Days go on” which got them all the way to the semi-final of the battle of the bands, they were also the most requested new band on 95fm’s Green & Live Show on which they were later interviewed and preformed a live acoustic set. Following this the massive industry magazine Hot Press gave the Limerick band a rave review.

Unfortunately shortly after this sudden burst of success, personal commitments of the band members caused them to go their separate ways for a number of years. However since re-forming in late 2007 the band have a new found enthusiasm and commitment to take INTRIGUE to the next level, this started with a personal investment from the band members of €18,000 to purchase upgraded equipment. They have since been touring the country and honing their craft, recently during the UL Christmas Day’s celebrations they packed The Stables bar on the campus for three nights running – a source from The Stables tells us that they were very well received and they have had numerous requests to have the band back.

As of late the band have been working on a new track which as yet is untitled but is already generating interest from the likes of BBC’s Radio 1 when a producer from the station saw the band performing it live and immediately requested copies of the single pre-release. INTRIGUE modestly describe themselves as an “energetic pop rock band” performing both cover tracks and well as some of their own material. Angel Lane & 2fm DJ J-Jay tells us that INTRIGUE’s version of the track “All these things I’ve done” originally by the Killers is both requested and regularly played in the club as one of the last tracks of the night and always rocks the house!

Angel Lane’s Danny O’ Connell had the following to say about the New Year’s Party - It would certainly seem that INTRIGUE are making waves both locally and even internationally with the likes of the BBC & Hot Press showing interest, I think it’s safe to say they are one to watch for the future and were very excited to have them for New Year’s Eve. Doors will be open at 10pm SHARP, & by way of thanking our customers for their business there will be a free gift on arrival for every customer as well as a Champagne Reception, the band will be on stage as soon as we open and will ring in the new year with our DJ’s taking over after that.
