The Lost Brothers
Some say The Lost Brothers sound like a ragged Everly
Brothers.
Others say they sound like The Lost Brothers.
It is said that The Lost Brothers formed four years ago
in the summer heat of Liverpool.
It is also said that The Lost Brothers wrote a book of
songs that autumn, and in the dead of winter they recorded
the songs in an attic in Portland, Oregon.
We know that The Lost Brothers released these songs on
their debut album (trails of the lonely) to a heap of
praise from the likes of NME,The Irish Times, Word magazine,
Hot Press, and their fans (losties).
Through the following year, The Lost Brothers have been
spotted in person, performing at Glastonbury, Electric
Picnic, Texas (SXSW), New York, Portland, Toronto, Paris,
and a hop, skip and jump across the land of the UK and
their beloved Ireland. In their journeys they have toured
and played along with many, including Richard Hawley,
M Ward, Jolie Holland, The Handsome Family, The Swell
Season,Sam Amidan, Micah P Hinson, Richmond Fontaine,
Brendan Benson, Jimmy Webb, Justine Townes Earle, Mountain
Man,Squeeze among others.They have also performed on RTE’s
Other Voices,France 24, and on the BBC Culture Show
In 2011 the band travelled to Nashville where they worked
on new songs with Brendan Benson as producer. Some of
Old Crow Medicine Show and the Cardinals lent a hand in
the studio.Later in 2012 this album will be released on
Brendan Benson’s record label- Redaymade Records.While
in Nashville the brothers also caught the ear of the Barbara
Orbison’s office where they recorded a song for the
75th Roy Orbison anniversary album.In June 2011 The Lost
Brothers shared the bill with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison
at the London Feis.This year the Lost Brothers opened
the Electric Picnic on the main stage.
The band have travelled to the US in October last year
where they performed at Other Voices New York alongside
Martha Wainright,Roddy Doyle and many others.
Over 12 days in 2010 The Lost Brothers recorded their
second album in Sheffield with producer Colin Elliot with
some of Richard Hawleys band lending a hand in the studio.This
album is entitled “So Long John Fante” and is
now available on Bird Dog Recordings.It is the second
studio album release from the Lost Brothers and it was
released in Ireland in November 2011.It has received rave
reviews from the Irish Times,Hot Press, the Irish Exaiminer
among many others. .In January and February 2012
the brothers toured Ireland as part of the prestigious
Certian Three Tour after their very successful performance
on The Late Late Show.
Details of the UK release for So long John Fante are coming
