Here Comes the Landed Gentry put on an impressive set of a collection of raunchy rock n roll with influences from country to punk. The band looked very comfortable which showed confidence and the band impressed the judges enough for them to be selected as the top act of the night. The band now goes on to perform at the Twisted Pepper in Dublin on Friday for a chance to win a trip / showcase at INDIE WEEK CANADA 2010. Watch for new material as the band will be recording a live-dvd-cd on Apr 26.
The Varionis started the night with a set that consisted of tight hook-laden songs. They showed promise and could be a band to watch in the next few years as they are young and show a great deal of potential.
Another band to watch for is Froud. The band took awhile to settle into their set but by halfway through they had found their stride and proved they had some cool songs. martin, the vocalist/bassist had some shining moments.

Here Comes The Landed Gentry appeared on the scene late 07/early08 when ex members of The Subtitles, Red Organ Serpent Sound and Fighting With Wire joined forces on a rock’n’roll mission with two things in mind… to write great songs and perform mind blowing shows!
The recording of their first critically acclaimed 7 song live demonstration resulted in local and national air play with the anthemic Leadbelly placing the boys firmly on the map. After winning The Roaring Meg All Ireland Busking Festival they bought a beat out white van (Big Al) and gigged extensively the length and breadth of Ireland gracing the stage with acts such as The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Undertones, The Urban Voodoo Machine, Black Diamond Heavies, The Jim Jones Revue and The Mighty Stef.
As HCTLG went from strength to strength they recorded a number of live sessions for the BBC’s Radio 1 Introducing, Across the Line and Electric Mainline shows and played a headline slot at Ireland's largest independent festival, Glasgowbury, which was a personal highlight for the boys.
At the end of 09 they performed their 1st English gigs, the legendary Gypsy Ball at Barden’s Boudoir being the stand out show!
Their second 7 song E.P. Here Comes The Landed Gentry Vol.2 was released as a free digital download from their website www.herecomesthelandedgentry.com on a song per month basis.
Plans for 2010? Record their debut live album/DVD in front of an audience and a studio album to follow!! It’s going to be their biggest year yet!!
Here Comes The Landed Gentry are a sweaty bad ass rock’n’roll band fusing together old school blues, punk rock, rockabilly, alt country and classic rock like no other! Their live shows are legendary and they are currently reeking havoc throughout Ireland and beyond. Catch them while you can before they explode!!!
