BELFAST band And So I Watch You From Afar who have just been nominated for the Choice Music Prize ‘Irish Album of the Year 2009’ will visit Baker Place on February 11 to promote their new EP ‘Letters’.
ASIWYFA had the most incredible year of their lives in 2009 with their self-titled debut album taking the world by storm, touring constantly, playing to a jam-packed Ulster Hall and being listed in end of the year album polls throughout the country.
In 2009, ASIWYFA played a mammoth 17o gigs all over Europe including extensive tours in the UK to opening Pukkelpop festival in Belgium in front of 4,500 captivated people to Novarock festival in Austria, gigs in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine and Russia.
The band’s Choice Music Prize nominated debut album is filled with monstrous guitars, bulging rock histrionics and genuinely breathtaking moments.
Influenced by punk’s DIY ethics, ASIWYFA’s delicate minutiae of fidgeting rhythms and optimistic dream state melodies get steamrolled by a colossal sonic barrage of apocalyptic proportions.
The Northern Irish noiseniks release a new EP next month and a second album is expected in the first half of 2010.
Catch And So I Watch You From Afar at Baker Place on February 11 with support from Maslow. Doors open at 9pm and admission is free. The band’s self-titled debut album is now available from Smalltown America Records.
