To Kill" - Goodguy UK D2K Remix Available to
Download from www.reverbnation.com/stand Original version on the Dublin band’s much-anticipated 4th album TRAVEL LIGHT which proved to be a radio hit in Ireland & the USA. Legendary Club Re-mixer Goodguy heard the track on radio in London & contacted the band immediately to produce this stonkin’ version! Since decamping to New York 5 years ago, STAND has amassed a huge stateside following which saw them on many ‘best of’ lists including Billboard, Rolling Stone, New York Times for both their live shows and on Albums. Featuring the two completely different vocal styles (Alan Doyle & Neil Eurelle) blend together to make a wall of sound with beautifully melodic results. New York - November 2008 After months of sonic construction and underground whispering, Dublin's STAND released their fourth album proper, “Travel Light” onto the world last November. What emerged can only be described as their strongest body of songs to date. Mr. Walsh wore the producer hat, sifting through the do's and dont's, letting the songs core breathe, giving a fine “Slan” (Goodbye) to tiresome layering. The melodies carry the weight. This album finds Neil and Alan in fine voice. The venues: Buffalo, Rhinebeck, Manhattan, NYC and Lexington KY. Work started in a northern blizzard and finished under a southern sun. A departure from and companion to the 2005 guitar driven Transmissions, Travel Light has been hailed by critics and fans on both sides of the sea. The band has been playing these songs across the
web and in the rock rooms of Dublin and the US Northeast while writing
material for the next recorded effort. After selling out the famed
Bowery Ballroom last spring, the band will return to New York to
test drive new material at The Mercury Lounge on Thursday, December
11th. From there, onward. "This is a gimmickless band. Deeply melodic and able to generate feverish excitement both onstage and in the studio." The Buffalo News "They're now coming on in lyrical leaps
and musical bounds.....While there's much light to be found here,
it's thankfully not the frothy kind. Stand may Travel Light, but
they mostly fly first class." "It is as if this Dublin-based group could do no harm. Perfect in many, many ways..."

out the House Remix of the radio hit DRESSED TO KILL as a free download!
Tickets available from all usual outlets. Once upon a time, a great group named simply
"Stand" produced an album called "Transmissions".
That group later pieced together an album they dubbed "Travel
Light" which found the group experimenting with standard pop-rock
harmonies and easy rhythms. "Travel Light" became the
anti-thesis to the suitcase culture and all at once gripped the
world as if this Dublin-based group could do no harm. Perfect in
many, many ways… SMOTHER MAGAZINE (EDITOR'S PICK) The four lads from STAND met and
began playing together in southwest Dublin. After two discs on their
indie label produced singles on Irish radio charts, the band took
a trip to Austin's SXSW. They relocated to New York and spent the
past few years playing on the limitless stages of the eastern U.S.
where critics and college audiences alike took notice. |

“Strong, passionate and deeply melodic rock with shades of drama of the Smiths and tunefulness of Coldplay run through a decidedly guitar-heavy meat grinder.” - Buffalo News (New York) STAND returned home from New York
to play a rare Dublin show in the Whelans on December 29 to preview
their forthcoming album "TRAVEL LIGHT"
which will be released in Ireland Spring 2007. STAND formed on the streets and schoolyards of Dublin, Ireland in the late 90’s. No want ads, no third-party introductions, just like-minded musicians with a shared passion. They spent the first two years together writing songs and performing continuously in clubs throughout Ireland and Europe—developing into one of the most talked about bands on the Irish scene. Their first release “Correspondent” landed on the charts with two Top Ten songs and garnered sales of over 20,000 copies sold. In mid-1999, having built a loyal fan base in their native Ireland, STAND played a sold-out show to 1200 fans at Vicar Street in Dublin and departed for America shortly thereafter. This band from the outskirts of Dublin took New York City, literally, one stage at a time. [They have] "more energy than a barrel of monkeys" raved Ken Gorka, owner of the legendary Bitter End (and the newish Crash Mansion,) when he first saw them play. The band soon hit the college circuit playing 5 to 6 times a week to an increasingly fanatical audience. This website has received over 200,000 hits since its debut in January of 2003. Between a rigorous and exhausting touring schedule, they recorded a batch of songs in various ad hoc spaces while sorting through production options. To whet the appetite of their audience, a single from one of their past recording was released. Colm O'Hare of Hot Press declared the appropriately titled Sleeping On Our Feet "a great tune...the chugging drone of the dual guitars or the faintly apocalyptic vocals reminiscent of the great Psychedelic Furs in their prime." STAND immediately thereafter went into exile with proven veteran producer/engineer David Seitz (Jeff Buckley, Shawn Colvin, John Wesley Harding, Dar Williams) at the renowned Clubhouse Studio in upstate New York to record the band latest album Transmissions, currently only available in America or www.standland.com STAND Available for Interviews and Radio Sessions. |

| On
the heals of selling out New York's prestigious Bowery Ballroom not
only once but TWICE!!, Dublin band STAND return to Ireland for a series
of shows around the country including a headline at VICAR STREET in
Dublin on July 16th. The current Album "IN A HAPPY PLACE"
has been in wedged in the Top 10 Indie / Alternative charts in the
USA since it's release in March. Now based in New York, this is a
great opportunity to see one of Ireland's best exports back on home
soil. STAND formed on the streets and schoolyards of Dublin. No want ads, no third-party introductions. The band learned their first songs and spent the next two years rehearsing and performing continuously in clubs throughout Ireland and Europe. During this period, they began to compose and develop the deeply melodic songs that would grace their Pat Donne-produced 1999 independent debut album, "Correspondent". Two singles from that album appeared on Irish charts, one holding various Top 10 positions for two weeks in late 1999. Sales of 20,000 copies followed. The live show, meanwhile, had developed into one of the most talked about on the Irish scene. "More energy than a barrel of monkeys" is how legendary New York venue operator Ken Gorka (Bitter End, Crash Mansion) describes this band onstage. In mid-1999, having built a loyal fan base in Ireland, STAND played a sold-out show to 1200 fans at Vicar Street in Dublin and departed for America shortly thereafter. This band from the outskirts of Dublin took New York City, literally, one stage at a time. One early audience member turned out to be a premier booking agent for the U.S. college market, and the band quickly found itself getting used to the right hand side of the road, winning over fans across the Northeastern and Southeastern United States. The group that played perhaps three times a month at home now found itself onstage five to six nights a week, playing to increasingly fanatic audiences. The webpage at standland.com has received 130,000 since inception in January of 2003. In early 2003, between exhausting appearance commitments, the band recorded a batch of songs in various ad hoc spaces while sorting through production options. To whet the appetite of their audience, a single recording from the catalogue to come was released. Colm O'Hare of HotPress declared the appropriately titled Sleeping On Our Feet "a great tune...the chugging drone of the dual guitars or the faintly apocalyptic vocals reminiscent of the great Psychedelic Furs in their prime." STAND
immediately thereafter went into exile with proven veteran producer/engineer
David Seitz (Jeff Buckley, Shawn Colvin, John Wesley Harding, Dar
Williams) at the world class Clubhouse Studio in upstate New York
and Shelter Island Sound in NYC. After completing two full production
videos for targeted singles, the band spent the first months of
2004 touring their homeland while preparing to release this highly
anticipated album in the United States. |

Sleeping on our feet:- This is a song written last year whilst in the Catskill Mountains, NY. We rented a house for two months to get out of the city to write new material. We were pissed off at the pace of NY and all the travelling. It's kind of a tongue in cheek look at American lifestyles, about how so many people are unaware of their situation and surroundings. There is so much more going on than just what's in the US.
Oldstar:- Again written in the Catskill sessions. A song about being jaded with showcases and record label jump hoops, when all they seem to do is rehash old material and try and milk the same fans for more money. This was one of the songs that didn't make the cut for the new album.
Overview (Live):- Originally appeared on the 'Intervals" EP. This is a live version recorded for Budweisers 'True Music' campaign, along with 11 other tracks due for release at the end of this month. It will be used in Bud promotional events and we will have to 'appear' and drink Budweiser and look cool, which may I say will be very easy!!!!! 'Overview' is about a guy in an unfortunate situation seeking devine rescue.
WHO ARE THEY?
STAND.............when it comes down to it, are the most
energetic and exciting European / U.S. crossover act you are ever likely
to see. With a guitar driven alternative rock sound, their two lead singers
bounceoff each other and work in tandem perfectly. Two completely different
vocal styles blend together to make a wall of sound with beautifully melodic
results.
Both live and on record this Dublin four piece, now based out of New York, know exactly how to achieve what they want from every performance.
WHO DOES WHAT?
Neil Eurelle - Vocals / Bass
Alan Doyle - Vocals / Guitar
David Walsh - Guitar / Keyboards
Carl Dowling - Drums / Vocals
WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN?
STAND formed about 8 years ago in Dublin and quickly made an impact on the musical environment there. They independently released two albums with singles that reached Irelands Top 10 on numerous occasions. After extensive touring of both Ireland and Europe, namely Sweden, Finland, France and Germany and after winning the praises of the critics, STAND relocated to New York.
Taking refuge in the city and concentrating on the New York rock scene and the general American College market, the band have had huge success in winning over Americas youth.
