Release Notes:
Songwriters Oisin and Ned met in Dublin, busking on
opposite sides of the same street to evening
drinkers and late night lowlife. They cemented their
friendship playing & carousing together in that fair
citys finest public houses. Their search for further
musical allies led them through Europe to Naples,
Italy. Here they recruited local Lothario, Massimo
'The Engine' Signorelli on drums. Together they
played their first show to 5,000 people at Piazza
del Gesu during a massive G8 protest. In the
following months they supported themselves busking
and playing in venues from Budapest to the Aeolian
Islands and all around Southern Italy. The identity
of the band formed under the influence of fine
wines, Italian cuisine and the spectacular
Mediterranean landscape. Returning to Dublin they
discovered itinerant wunder-kind Freddie Stitz
busking in Grafton Street (far from his native
Ellershausen, Germany). At this moment - 747s were
born. Setting sail for Liverpool (...soon to become
their Hamburg) 747s were nurtured and welcomed by
the local creative & dynamic music culture. They
wrote songs, slept on floors, played live and
developed their distinctive harmonies. Since then,
747s have toured with The Raconteurs, The Kooks, The
Strokes, Futureheads, Yeti, The Thrills and Brendan
Benson. 747s have recently resettled in London
becoming ARK RECORDINGS first signing. The band
recorded their debut album, Zampano (to be released
September 25th) at Antonio's Fish Market, London
under the watchful eye of producer Mike Crossey
(Arctic Monkeys) and Antonio himself.
