Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane are a four piece from Ireland, formed in 2008, with shared female /male lead vocals, guitar, bass and drums. The Irish Times recently described them as a 'remarkably good Dublin band who transcend their influences by being bang on the money, (as evidenced by) their recently released debut album Sugar For My Soul which manages to blend loaded psych rock and a sweet-natured dream-pop disposition with a clear affinity for the rockier, sludgier end of Americana. The album is released on Reekus Records www.reekus.com and received brilliant reviews on its Irish release in summer 2010. It has also been licensed across Asia, and a first single, Close Your Eyes, got brilliant reviews on its UK release in February this year. Sweet Jane were Myspace Artists of the Week in September 2010, and so far 2011 has been great with two of their songs beating off hundreds of entries to make the playlists of leading gamesters Activision/Blizzard, and also MTV/Skins at the Midem synch Listening Sessions, followed by a US tour, including several shows at SXSW. Their album, Sugar For My Soul, gets a UK release in July. They have been chosen by Suede to support on all Irish dates in May, and play leading music industry festival Music Matters Asia in Singapore in May, with support from Culture Ireland.
