HOSTESS
Album coming summer 2017

‘Hostess’ is the new project of ex-CAP PAS CAP front-woman Gráinne Dee who debuts her LP ‘A Simple Life,’ in summer 2017 on ‘After the Quake’ records. Far from being a romantic paean, the first single ‘Valentine’ is a deceptively saccharin slice at the dark heart of material romance with a vocal refrain loaded with loss and regret, swathed in dreamlike e

lectronic flashes before giving way to driving bass and syncopated analogue chill, before blossoming finally into a panegyric to hedonism and lost love…

This is Hostess. BABYBEEF

Babybeef is the name of the electro pop solo project of multi instrumentalist Sarah Carroll Kelly. She represents an exciting new Irish wave of ambitiously inventive electronically influenced pop music. Her music combines pure hyper coloured unashamed 1980’s influenced FM plastic pop with darker driven sounds & undercurrents that references A-ha, New Order, Devo and the more contemporary, fresher sounds of LCD Soundsystem, The Juan MacLean, Daft Punk & Yeasayer. To date her live performances have been carefully chosen and have included shows and short tours with Cap Pas Cap and You’re Only Massive. In 2009 she was invited by Sligo’s The Model Niland Gallery to perform as part of their New Spaces For Music programme. Babybeef has also performed at all ages music space The Hideaway House in Deansgrange, later that year she continued her relationship with The Model Niland Gallery by performing a solo show at the DEAF Festival as part of their New Spaces For Music Programme.

2010 has so far included performances with Brooklyn’s The Hundred In The Hands and a special show at The Science Gallery in Trinity College Dublin as part of their BIORHYTHM exhibition. In September 2010 she will release her debut album on After The Quake Records recorded earlier this year with Stephen Shannon at Experimental Audio Studios in Dublin. Selected Press:

“Babybeef is one Sarah Carroll Kelly, a multi-instrumentalist who happens to love synth pop. Possessed of a wonderfully husky voice and a penchant for AC/DC covers, she’s already been talked about in the same breath as Peaches. The Dublin-based performance artist manages to infuse all this super-catchyness with dark pulsing rhythms. And if that’s not enough, she counts Sparks, Kate Bush and Daft Punk as influences. Watch out for her self-titled album, due for release on After the Quake Records later this year.

Babybeef – The 50 Best Irish Music Acts Right Now – “My list was selected as an accurate representation of the 50 acts I’m most interested in hearing more of right now. These are the 50 acts who are making Irish music good enough to stick around this country in the times of recession and who are not eye-rollingly sh*t.”

After The Quake Records artist Babybeef has been listed on an incredible & truly inspirational timeline of female singers and musicians as part of the ALTERNATIVE GIRLS exhibition by the GIRL MUSEUM.

About the Exhibition:
There are female singers and musicians in all genres, from hip-hop to classical. These women have inspired and continue to inspire girls across the world, many of them breaking out from the traditional expectations of girls to be quiet or well behaved, tidy or pretty in pink.

They have re-imagined what it means to be a woman and shown what girls with a passion for music can achieve.

The histories of music have been written down and made into numerous films and television programmes, yet many of these either ignore female musicians or only offer one or two examples. Even the presenters seem to be all men! Our timeline shows only a fragment of all the amazing women who have changed the world of music forever. We think it’s crazy to leave them out!
