Conor Brennan - he's going to be huge.
September 14th, 2007
To my dismay, I had to cut short my attendance at the FOWA road trip last night. I can’t say I regret leaving it though. I headed to the comeback gig of Conor Brennan at Anseo.
Conor’s been a great friend for years and I helped him with a lot of the publicity and web stuff for his band, The Stranded Circus, 3,4,5 years ago or so. After a few favourable write ups and a cracking EP, the band packed it in and Conor’s been in hibernation for the past three years.
I’ve been egging him on for the last year, particularly since he posted a few impromptu videos of some songs he’d been working on on Youtube.
Last night, in the most intimate of settings, with a crowd bursting out the door, needle-pin silent for the quiet bits, Conor gave us a sample of the new stuff. Interspersed with the new material were two really, really powerful covers of Radiohead’s “I Will” and Michael Jackson “Leave me Alone”. Both were Conor-ised to great effect.
I’m really excited about this. Conor’s been working on a recording featuring Ben from the Thrills on drums and I can’t wait to hear it.
Again, seriously, watch this space, but in the meantime, watch the videos
