Me, Myself, and I
The Impressionists are a funky-ass 6 piece band from Cork, Ireland. Right now, the line-up goes like this :

Cian - The Beats
Deny - The Bottom
Cliff - The Rhymes
Justin - The Scratches
Molly - The Voice
Eoin - The Strings & The Horn

The Impressionists focus on creating a blend of fresh funk, rock and jazz mixed with true hip-hop using live instruments - guitar, drums, bass, trumpet, turntables and a live MC.

In August 2008, the band recorded their 1st EP, "Back to Basics", over 10 days in the prestigious Grouse Lodge Studios. The Impressionists then kicked off their monthly residency at Stevie G's popular "Jam" night at The Pavilion in Cork in September 2008. They launched the 4 track EP at The Pavilion in July 2009 and the show was a huge success.

Among the other venues the band have played are The Cork Opera House, The Savoy (Cork), The Half Moon (Cork), Vicar Street (Dublin), Radio City (Dublin) The Button Factory (Dublin), The Tripod (Dublin), The Black Box (Galway) and The National Conference Centre (Johannesburg, South Africa).

The Impressionists also performed at the Oxegen music festival in 2006 on the Red Bull Break-In stage.

Among the acts the band have opened for are the legendary Sweet Charles Sherell (musical director for James Brown) and Push, and The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

We hope you dig our music,

Peace,

The Impressionists

    We launched our 1st EP entitled "Back to Basics" at the Pavilion last Friday and we rocked the house. The Pav was packed and the crowd were great - certainly the best crowd we have played to.

    The whole thing was caught on camera and will be on the web soon.


    The "Back to Basics" EP is available now for €5 in Plugd Records and at our gigs.
