Introducing: Walter Mitty & The Realists
Name: Walter Mitty & The Realists
Location: Limerick, Ireland
Line-up:
Conor Mac Taidhg - vocals, guitar, keyboards
Niall Mac Taidhg - vocals, guitar, keyboards
Colin Bartley - bass guitar
Paul O'Shaughnessy - drums
Recordings: Green Light Go (2009)
Label: 45 Records
Website: www.waltermittyandtherealists.com
Overview
Walter Mitty & The Realists are an Irish rock band built to fill dance floors, with a live show so enthralling it has to be seen, heard AND felt. Formed in 2008, The Mittys have already toured Scotland with The Proclaimers, won the prestigious 'Best Band' award at Indie Week Canada 2009 in Toronto, launched an album and have just released their first single Green Light Go which is set to feature in a forthcoming Heineken ad campaign.
Live
Having just completed some headline tours around Ireland, Walter Mitty & The Realists are currently looking to book a Scottish tour. They have played internationally, and at home, with heavy-weights including Bloc Party, The Ting Tings, The Proclaimers (entire Scottish tour), Dirty Pretty Things, Reverend & The Makers, and CKY. Irish shows have included appearances with The Blizzards, Fred, Director, The Frank and Walters, The Flaws, and Fight Like Apes.
Recordings
Their first album, Green Light Go, was recorded and produced by the Cranberries sticks-man, Fergal Lawler, who was amongst their earliest admirers. Lawler, now also a music producer, vowed to capture the band's enormous live impact on the record without compromising on its pop core - and that's exactly what he did. In fact, his eventual interest and involvement with the record and the band found him featuring throughout the album on percussion, some vocals and keyboards, as well as producing and mixing. The album was mastered by Aiden Foley, who can now add The Mittys to a portfolio including the likes of U2, Foo Fighters, and Damien Rice.
The title track, Green Light Go, was launched as a single in April 2010. It is available on iTunes and through HMV in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Sligo.
Awards
International highlights included winning the prestigious 'Best Band' at Indie Week Canada 2009, which led to the band signing with Canadian management company Cool Planet Entertainment and their label, 45 Records. The band was also shortlisted for the 'Most Promising New Act' award at the 2010 Meteor Awards.0 Comments 106 weeks

Praise For JB3
"[JB3’s] songs and sound are fantastic."
( Marie Walker - BackRoads Booking Agency [US] )
"The tracks sound great, a real 60's sound in the 21st century."
( Geoff Pegler - BluesBeat Radio www.bluesbeatradio.com [Australia] )
“With their Hendrix-infused live set, JB3 are not only utterly mesmerising to watch, their performances never fail to inspire a frenzied reception.”
( Promoter – The Half Moon, Bishops Stortford [UK] )
“JB3 get into a massive 60’s groove (think Jimi Hendrix, Free) for an enjoyable promo. It does well to showcase ultra-solid musicianship.”
( Owen Williams – reviewer www.redhotvelvet.co.uk [UK] )
"JB3 is an interesting band. On their new CD, 'Raised To The Ground', they have a very cool blues-rock and high quality sound. I congratulate them for this great album and I recommend it to all lovers of good music."
( Josep Palmada - Radio Vilafant 'Red Hot Blues' show [Spain] )
"I have enjoyed the band. They are an excellent, powerful rock band with Americana music influences, a powerful straight sound and cool daring hard beat. I am sure they will soon get a great success."
( Vicente Zumel - radio DJ www.lahoradelblues.com [Spain] )
"[JB3] are blessed with the cosmic ability to make their guitars weep, sing and probably do the Hoovering at the same time, while somehow managing to avoid the proggish excesses of month-long solos."
( Chris Moss - reporter [UK] )
"As they struck up I got an overwhelming sense of Hendrix....James Bennet is not trying to emulate Hendrix. He just comes across like him. Similar way of moving, inventive guitar methods, including beating it with a drumstick....also a similar vocal range and just the overall ensemble."
( Plantagenet live review )
"The vocals are very interesting."
( Jon Larsen - booking agent [Norway] )0 Comments 117 weeks
