State Lights formed three years ago at BIMM College in Dublin, bonding over a shared interest in classic pop music and a common desire to write big stadium sized songs the guys decided to work on a music project. Members include singer Shobsy, guitarist Joe Regan, drummer Paul Ridgeway and bassist Noel Perry. State Lights are regarded as one of the best new acts in Ireland and last autumn they performed at Electric Picnic where they performed alongside The Kooks, St Vincent and Cigarettes after Sex on the prestigious Electric Arena Stage. In recent months they have supported The Fratellis, The Academic and the The Blizzards as they embark on the Summer Festival Circuit.
