BRMC:

After playing to sold out crowds at the RDS in support of The Killers and selling out their own headline show in Dublin last December, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are BACK to play The SAVOY THEATRE CORK, Wednesday 14th May. Tickets priced €30.00 incl booking fee are on sale from this Wednesday the 27th February.

The Californian Indie Trio, named after Marlon Brando's crew in 'Wild One', will treat fans to songs from their new album 'Baby 81' which is brimming with power hooks, blue roots and a strong acoustic guitar.

'Baby 81' is an ambitious, powerful, guitar-driven rock'n'roll record that's guaranteed to get people jumping and thinking. Sonically it's a far cry from 2005's rootsy, acoustic 'Howl', and this record was born only minutes after the final track on the previous album was completed, when Peter Hayes ( guitars/vocals ) and Robert Levon Been ( bass/vocals/keys ) were rejoined in the studio by drummer Nick Jago after a brief break up earlier that year.

When BRMC talk about 'Baby 81', they say a lot about timing: knowing when to stop working on songs, finding those slivers of time captured in sound checks to sculpt into the next album. And although it ends with a track Hayes wrote in his late teens, "The sequence of this record is almost perfectly chronological from the first song we recorded for the album to the last," Been points out. "I know a lot of bands don't do that, but I think it makes the album feel more alive, it's like a living, breathing organism."

Ultimately, 'Baby 81' captures Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the most crucial time of their career. "I think we all took a leap of faith a little bit more on this album, writing more current songs," Been reveals. "We used to hold on pretty tight to new songs, but it kind of feels like people are finally going to hear where we're at right now — we're much more in the moment."
