In a truly Irish get-to-gether story.. the band formed after a chance encounter on a 'St Patrick’s Day float' in Portlaoise.....(as you do...) Adela met drummer Ros O’ Meara. Then a member of several bands, Ros introduced Adela to Barry Hayes who in turn introduced everyone to John Davidson. Like peas in a far out pod… catapulted from years of abject obscurity in the Irish midlands… they soon became a group of four: Adela and the Meanits.
Their music has been likened to Madness, Sultans of Ping and Lily Allen, but comparisons aside their music contains refreshing elements of pop, folk & trash can jazz that when combined, somehow manage to have a mainstream appeal.
Set to release their debut album in August ( No title as of yet ), single ‘Andy’ is released in Mid July.
I spose its also worth mentioning that the band are embarking on a 32 gig date tour which will span the 32 counties in Ireland to celebrate the albums release in the month of August.
'Andy' is a contagious little number that will lodge inside your brain where the word 'FUN' resides and it'll bloody damn well refuse to leave! But don't take our word for it, check it out below:
