Dublin trio El Hombre Jokes are currently writing and rehearsing material for their debut album. The band, whose eclectic sound takes in rock, funk and jazz, released their debut EP Thirteen Steps last year.

Now they're using fund:it to raise the cash needed to put together their forthcoming debut. Karl Odlum (The Frames, Kíla, Gemma Hayes) will be on production duties, and the album will be released on the band's own label towards the end of the summer.
