Sweet Jane - Silver Dagger - Vantastival 2011 - The Band Wagon Tv - 1st May 2011

Sweet Jane have been creating quite a stir on the Irish music scene in the last year with their special brand of psychedelic dream-pop rock'n'roll. With a line-up featuring Danda Paxton guitar/ vocals and vocalist Lydia Des Dolles, Ruairi Paxton on bass and Donogh O'Brien on drums, Sweet Jane been garnering attention from several high profile admirers internationally too, including The View, Glasvegas, Bonehead from Oasis, the Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club, and ex-Creation Records boss Alan McGee who has invited them to perform on his Death Disco Tour 2010. Their live set is an energetic roller coaster of sleazy guitars and achingly sexy vocals, split between Lydia & Danda and topped off with their trademark 'dream-pop rock 'n roll'. The band formed in 2008, and their first recording, the self-released EP Blackboots and Blackhearts released in late 2008, garnered great reviews from the underground press, and the band continued to gig and hone their live set. Late 2009 saw the recording of their debut album Sugar For My Soul, and the band signing to Reekus, who released You're Making This Hard (from Blackboots and Blackhearts), coupled with Silent Night in December, which brought Sweet Jane's music to the attention of all the leading alternative DJs on national Irish radio, and garnered them quality airplay. With the release of the album delayed by some months due to technical problems, Reekus re-released the Blackboots and Blackhearts EP in February, garnering more airplay for Sweet Jane, and creating an even greater buzz about the band. I The release of the album on July 2nd saw Sweet Jane elevated to a new high with superb reviews across the board, and a hugely impressive set at Ireland's biggest festival Oxegen helped to extend their ever growing fanbase.
