Carmen Ghia and the Hotrods
Beginning life as a mild mannered two piece, Túcan have developed
into one of the most exciting traditional Irish bands playing
anywhere in the world today. With bass and drums driving the twin
acoustic guitars of Donal Gunne and Pearse Feeney, they have devised
a sound that is at once familiar and yet thrillingly new.
The band’s debut album Aliquot Strings, produced by Lance Hogan
of Kila and released in 2009 on their own label Túcan Music,
charted in Ireland and was critically acclaimed both at home and
abroad. The album is a firecracker of driving rhythms and virtuoso
guitar craft which brings the listener on a considerable adventure in
a concise thirty six minutes.
Túcan have performed with international acts such as Jose Feliciano,
Regina Spektor as well as contemporaries Rodrigo y Gabriella and
Alabama 3, have been banned from busking on Grafton Street in
Dublin, lived as street performers in Prague and Barcelona and have
played Electric Picnic every year since 2007 to packed houses each
time.
