Heathers

"'Heathers' are 20 year old twin sisters Ellie and Louise Macnamara. They began writing music together in 2007. In February 2008 they recorded their debut album 'Here, Not There' while also preparing for their Leaving Certificate. 'Here, Not There', was released in May of that year on Hideaway Records(IRL) and Plan-it-x Records(US). Following this, they embarked on a month long tour of America with US band Ghost mice, in summer 2008. They were invited to support Kimya Dawson of 'The Moldy Peaches' in London, the following September before beginning their first year at university. 'Heathers' performed at the Music from Ireland showcase at CMJ festival in New York in October 2008 and at Canadian Music Week in Toronto in March 2009. They returned to tour the US in June, 2009 and in early July, played the IMRO New Sounds Stage at Oxegen. They are now writing material for a new album which they hope to record in mid 2010."

Just one guitar, two voices, no light and a large group of friends attentively listening. I had heard the demos they had online but its just not the same experience as seeing them play live. They're one of the few bands that make you feel that the world isn't such a bad place. Their songs just make you forget about everything except your friends, singing and dancing. Well to be truthfuly honest, thats all you really need in life." - Excerpt from Little Thoughts Zine
