2013 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for Irish band Protobaby!

2013 Tour dates confirmed to date will take in the Netherlands, UK and Ireland with loads more to be confirmed soon! Expect to hear lots more from Protobaby throughout 2013!

Protobaby had a very busy and exciting 2012 building a strong fanbase both nationally and internationally.March saw the release of their debut album ‘The Spark’. Protobaby teamed up with Owen Lewis who has previously worked with REM, Hole and Snow Patrol just to mention a few to record their full length debut, with the end result receiving a massive thumbs up from critics and fans alike. The album was mixed with additional production by Chris O’Brien and Graham Murphy at The Production Suite, Dublin. (The Stunning, Gemma Hayes Human League, Clannad, The Waterboy's, Whipping Boy, A House...)

They returned to Poland in May to play at the huge Polish 3 day festival Juwenalia Bialystok 2012 playing to 10000+ people, having played at same festival in 2011 with huge German band Guano Apes.

Singles from the album received and continue to receive lots of national and regional airplay. Singles and videos to date from 'The Spark' include: 'State Of Affairs', 'Traditions', 'Fluorescent and 'Only A Spark'.' 'Fluorescent' was named as Today FM’s daily download on Tony Fenton’s very popular national show along with the band also recording a session for the Paul Mcloone show on Today FM and doing an interview on 2fm with Dave Fanning.

The controversiall video to 'Traditions' was banned by Youtube in late 2011 and the video to 'Only A Spark' captured the bands energetic performance at Juwenalia Bialystok 2012.

2012 was spent touring both nationally and internationally including dates in Ireland, UK and Poland. A successful tour with the the Frank and Walters on their 25th Anniversary tour for 'Trains, Boats and Planes' including dates in the UK and Ireland as well as support slots with bands such as Delorentos and Jape.

In November Protobaby appeared on a regional cover of Hot Press and had a full interview in the national edition of Irelands most popular music magazine.
