The debut EP Nothing More came out last year. We had a gig last Friday in The Workman’s Club in Dublin which I think was one of our tightest performances together, the four of us. Ane ever since we’ve been playing in the UK, we did a mini tour with Scattered Ashes. We went back to the ads online and the 2 of them came in 3 or 4 weeks before a gig so we had to get the whole setlist together really quick. You’ve just got to keep working hard.Ĭurrent band members are now Paula Moura (bass) from Brazil and Ben O’Connor (guitar) from Australia. But it’s amazing now a year later it all just comes right. It was a period when I remember thinking we need to make stuff happen. We were successful in the application, but we didn’t have a band. We were still writing but I remember we got Ireland Music Week last year. Coming straight out of Covid we had a line-up change and it was just the two of us. Paul: Around Covid that was a difficult time for us because peoples’ priorities and interests changed and then as we were coming out of Covid Bren and I we really took the opportunity to delve into our writing and focus on how can we make this as good as it can be, and even just finding something to do and making music. It’s amazing how you can make friendships that way through an advertisement! There has been a few shifts and changes in band members throughout the years as people were doing different things. I met Paul and Len who I’d never met them before, we did a rehearsal session and for quite a while it was the three of us just jamming and we had a blast and became really good friends, and we’re still good friends today. In an old school way I found an advertisement and replied to it. When I got to college that was all finished up and I was looking to join a new project. How did the band come to be, and who are the current members?īren: I had been involved in a few bands when I was 17/18. I’d like to start by asking you about the origins of TV People. ![]() I chatted to them about the band’s origins, their music, producing an EP during Covid and their first live dates in England. The project of Paul Donohoe (vocals, guitar) and Brendan Clarke (drums). Dublin’s TV People craft atmospheric music: a gritty combination of post-punk and alternative rock and in August 2021 they released their debut EP the five-track Nothing More.
