Sons & Daughters curate 'Invasion' at Hard Working Class Heroes

Scottish rockers Sons & Daughters have been confirmed for the 6th annual Hard Working Class Heroes festival this September.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 05 Jun 2008

Following the success of last year's Scandinavian Invasion, Sons & Daughters will curate this year's Scottish Invasion, bringing with them the best emerging talent from our Celtic neighbors.

With close to 100 acts, Hard Working Class Heroes returns to the streets of Temple Bar from September 12-14, with gigs in Andrew's Lane Theatre, The Button Factory, Meeting House Square, Eamon Dorans and The Hub.

This year, the festival is once again calling on the best of Ireland's bands to register digitally to secure a slot to play at the event (visit www.hwch.net).

MUZU.TV have come on board to help create HWCH TV to visually promote the chosen artists to industry and Festival goers in advance. MUZU.TV will also make a live studio video, free of charge, for every band playing the festival to help promote themselves online.

The Repulsion Box

When Sons and Daughters first came round our way last year via an Arts Council grant and an obscure US indie label, there was much scratching of heads as to where they fitted in. Then we discovered that they were touring with fellow Glaswegians Franz Ferdinand and, hey presto, there you go – part of at least two scenes, job done thank you very much. Except they weren’t, inhabiting instead their own little dark corner of a world that drew on influences way beyond those currently in vogue.

Love The Cup

Sons & Daughters have been accused of being more American than the Americans, and certainly a first listen to their debut album brings to mind any combination of words like blues, funk, country, rock, hyphenated with “melee”, but they lend their own distinctive flavor to the obvious musical influences.
