HEATHERS
DUBLIN, COUNTY DUBLIN
Heathers' are 20 year old twin sisters Ellie and Louise Macnamara. They began writing music together in 2007 and in February 2008 they recorded their debut album 'Here, Not There' while also preparing for their Leaving Certificate. They released the album in May of that year garnering serious praise amongst both fans and media alike.
Following their Leaving Cert, Summer 2008 saw the girls embark on a month long tour of America with US band Ghost Mice. They were invited to support Kimya Dawson of 'The Moldy Peaches' in London the following September before beginning their first year at university. The great reactions to their album led to Heathers' being invited to perform 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 currently writing material for a new album which they hope to record in 2010. Also, from March 2010, their song Remember When will be the featured track on the new Failte Ireland advertising campaign which will receive widespread coverage on TV, cinema and radio.
