Little Comets will play The Academy in Dublin on 9th February next, with tickets on sale this Friday at 9am priced at €13.
Robert, Michael, and Matt, the trio who comprise Little Comets, first met in a little greengrocers beneath the hue drenched hills of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Sharing a mutual abandon for David Bowie, dalliance and limes they became a bonded musical quadrilateral in 2008, playing a series of gigs in barns, houses, university lecture theatres, prisms and trains.
Influenced by books as much as music as much as their natural surroundings, Little Comets try to capture bits and pieces from places like Jonathan Safran Foer, Kate Rusby, Joan Miró and attach them to songs. Using bright rhythmic melodies to assuage often dark didactic lyrics, the result is something hopefully as authentic as the intention was originally meant to be.
Little Comets sold out The Academy 2 last April 2013 well in advance. See them live at Academy Dublin, for their headline show early February next year.
