The Ocelots announce Dublin show at Bello Bar

The Ocelots have announced a gig at Dublin's Bello Bar for Friday, December 19.

Originally from Wexford, the twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Watson now live in Leipzig, Germany.

The duo completed a tour from February to March in Ireland, the UK and Germany, in celebration of their second album Everything, When Said Slowly, which was released February 7.

“The title Everything, When Said Slowly is a response from an old Irish man’s perspective on people leaving our hometown of Wexford over the years past. He said it was a very long time since they left, but not much time if you said it fast.

"We found it wonderful and profound, but also deeply moving and fitting for the album’s sentiment. How time flies or drags, depending on what you’re experiencing, especially when it’s time in a place you said goodbye to,” explained the brothers.

Recorded in Orphan Recording Studios in Wexford, their second record is working with country and folk elements, creating a rich and expansive sound.

Tickets for their upcoming show will be available via singularartists.ie on Friday, June 10.
