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.
The first forays by the 747s were a little stunted
by their apparent lack of imagination. Rumbled as
studious admirers of T-Rex, Supergrass, Bob Marley
(sometimes) and most definitely the Beatles, this
starry eyed song however, is grander with Flaming
Lips style harmonies and the shuffle of smoothly
whirring guitars.
They've certainly got the suave chorus, but add it
all together and they still haven't escaped the
world of indie cabaret. This is all qualified by the
slick, almost polished production and lack of
vigour. Chart bound fluffy indie.
