Hotly-tipped Limerick band Supermodel Twins, hailed as “one of the most thrilling, new Irish bands of 2008”, will take to the stage at Bakers this Saturday, March 8 to unveil new material from their forthcoming debut album.
The local four-piece have an unerring, breezy power-pop sensibility that suggests bronzed Californian surfer dudes rather than pasty-faced dwellers of the grey and dreary backstreets of Frank McCourt’s ‘Angela’s Ashes’.
Influenced by the likes of Weezer, Nada Surf and Jimmy Eat World, Supermodel Twins’ sound brims with moments of wry genius that owes more to the genuine pop masterworks of The Beach Boys and Burt Bacharach than its modern day imitators. The Limerick outfit have been busy perfecting their impeccably produced power-pop in recent months and just recorded their debut single ‘Footprints’, which is a delectable slice of mesmerising musical genius, at Grouse Lodge Studios in County Westmeath.
Having worked together for four years through different projects and To date Supermodel Twins have completed 2FM sessions, featured on Tom Dunne’s ‘Pet Sounds’ as artist of the week, played the IMRO finals at The Village, Dublin, and have performed at The Barfly in London.
They’ve received inspiring reviews, both live and on recordings, at home and overseas. Supermodel Twins strut their stylish stuff at Bakers this Saturday, March 8. Don’t miss them!
