This time last year Dave Couse was gearing up for the release of his album ‘The World Should Know’. A year later and Dave Couse is gearing up for the release of his album ‘The World Should Know’. This time the release is in the UK (again through 1969 Records), on the back of what’s been a great year in Ireland for Couse and the album.

Things are looking very positive for Couse, with the single Batman & Robin currently receiving some serious airplay in the UK, including on the BBC Radio shows of Mark Radcliffe and Phil Jupitus. ‘The World Should Know’ hit the shelves in the UK on 6th October and Dave and the band will be headlined the Borderline in London on Saturday 21st October to be followed by other British dates before Christmas.
Having shaken off the albatross of being the former lead singer of a well known Irish band (shhhhh.....A-HOUSE!), he’s now recognized as a solo artist in his own right. It started off with the listeners of Tom Dunne’s Pet Sounds voting Batman & Robin as the song of the week for 8 straight weeks running. Bell X1 invited Dave as their guest at the Olympia and the reviews for the album were generally glowing.
The momentum continued to grow in the New Year when Dave was nominated for Best Irish Album and Best Irish Male at the 2005 Meteor Music Awards. Defeat to U2 was easy enough to swallow, but the recognition was appreciated. A second single Beauty Is was once again A-listed on 2FM and FM104 and the band enjoyed a sell-out return to London in May.

Around that time too Dave’s headline slot on Other Voices was aired on RTE television. The response was good enough to see him voted on the best of the series finale, along with the likes of Rufus Wainright and Duke Special.

Things did slow down over the summer, but only after Dave played to a packed Pet Sounds arena at the Oxegen Festival in July. A reviewer from the English music site roomthirteen.com summed the performance up nicely:
“Couse’s whole show is a great participatory live event, you're really welcomed into it and made a part of it and you leave having been struck by its magnitude and sheer presence. Worth going to see definitely.”

In the summer down-time Dave went to Cork for a spell, where he produced the new album for The Frank & Walters, re-uniting a successful partnership that goes back to their debut e.p.
Come and see what all the fuss is about and celebrate with Dave Couse & the Impossible at the Village on Saturday November 11th.
