Exclusively from the Record Room, Limerick.
The Record Room & Wired 99.9FM in association with WAV Mastering, are thrilled to announce the release of a brand-new compilation record featuring some of Limerick's most exciting artists recorded here at the Record Room.
Taking inspiration from the 1990 album The Reindeer Age, the motivation was to take a snapshot of a uinque time for music in Limerick. The city has always been to the fore of music in Ireland and continues this tradition with the innovative and diverse contemporary music and cultural scene that exists today.
During the Summer of 2023, The Record Room was host to a series of free live gigs. These curated gigs were recorded and engineered by local producers, and perfectly captures a series of mind-blowing performances that will live long in people's memories. One track was selected from individual sets, which amplifies the vibrant live energy of each of the included artists.
Featured artists are: Anna's Anchor, TA Narrative, Hazey Haze, 50 Foot Woman, Laura Duff, SWEETS, The Low Field, Dylan Flynn & the Dead Poets, Small Church, Strange Boy, Paddy Mulcahy, Post Punk Podge & The Technohippies and The PVP.
The compilation itself is a celebration of the past, the present, and the boundless creativity that flows through this city.
The record will be launched on Sunday the 17th of December at the Commercial, and it will be released on a strictly limited vinyl only print that will be available exclusively from the venue from this date on. Tune into Wired 99.9FM over the coming weeks to hear exclusive plays from the album.
“It’s so exciting to see this project come to fruition, and to get to release it in such glorious physical form - we just can’t wait for people to hear it now! We’re especially excited about those uninitiated to the Limerick scene, getting to hear the talented and uniqueness of the artists that call this city their home” Ray Burke, Wired 99.9FM
"The sense of place is palpable throughout this collection, right through to the collective roar of “Up the Parish!” that rises from the record’s run-out groove. ‘Live at Record Room’ is a document of what we already knew, to be fair: Limerick is where it’s at." Justin McDaid, GoldenPlec.com
