Telly Club

Hailing from the slightly passive aggressive streets of South Dublin and North Wicklow, Telly Club
formed in late 2022 on the first day Alan Bright and James Culhane met. Unable to fathom
making music without their dear and darling friend Cillian Ó Siochfhradha, they vowed to
teach him the bass. After rehearsing in the shed at the back of his house for several months,
they eventually found Naoise Mac Conghail and have forced him to play drums ever since.

Citing references such as Caroline and Feeble Little Horse, the band mix sparkly, crunchy
guitar and poignant, melodic vocals that create mesmerising walls of sound that need to be
heard to be believed. The band are on a crusade to transcend the consensual reality tunnel
and to make the most mystifying sounds ever to emanate from a guitar. The band hope that
upon hearing their music, people will finally stop paying for insurance and put that
miserable industry out of business once and for all.

The five and a half tracks that make up their debut EP "We Didnt Mean to go to Sea" were honed by months of hard work and seconds of abstract thought. The band compose communally, taking hours at a time to
feel out the intricacies of each riff and chord progression in order to create music that
grows organically from the ideas of each band member. Recorded in an improvised studio
in the back room of Cillian Ó Siochfhradha’s house, the recording process required buckets
of tears and gallons of sweat, but fortunately very little blood. The end product oscillates
between the tragic and the triumphant, resulting in about twenty five minutes of misery or
victory depending on the whims of the listener.

Telly Club released their Debut EP on the 24th of January with a sold out show in upstairs Whelans. They now dream of selling out MainStage Whelans so they can convince Whelans to build a basement so they can sell that out as well
