Wall St Thieves interview 4th April 2011This week Shane Supple spoke to The Wall St Thieves who are a 4 piece group the lads, ranging in age from early to mid twenties,Eric Doherty on Guitar/Vocals, Che Horgan also Guitar/Vocals, Shane Norberg on Bass/Vocals, Dereck O’Shea on Drums. This week we had the pleasure of their company and to be honest it wasnt easy trying to pin them down on a few questions.
I asked the lads to describe what they sounded like and I got so many answers I decided to leave it at that and leave the questions for another day. The easiest thing I could think of to solve the problem was to get them to sing a song or two which they did. I sat back not knowing what to expect from this four piece band what I got was so much more. With a sound that takes you back in time to the early days of Rock and Roll, Harmonies play an important part of this bands preformance and they got that side of things right. With great harmonies and a driving beat to back it up the band have obviously worked hard to get the current sound and style they have and it sounds like a whole new fresh approach to music even though they have incorporated sounds from many of the idols and bands they love to listen to.
The lads who are currently in Youghal recording a brand new album decided to drop in to the Radio station and say hello and when they arrived they caused a stir indeed, they are a young group of lads who take music seriously but take life with a pinch of salt. They have a firm idea of where they are going and how they are going to get there, They are influenced by many bands but most of the bands they listed off are long since finished, retired, and in many cases dead. Stark sounding I know but they are influenced by sounds they heard growing up music from their parents.
The Wall Street Thieves invoke an era when songwriters had something to say and music had substance. They write and perform their own material but also have an extensive repertoire of covers. They perform the songs of Creedence, The Band, Rory Gallagher, Dylan, The Stones, The Beatles and many others with a command that belies their age and an infectious enthusiasm which reflects it. They have, in the past, played at Cypress Avenue, Slate, Slainte, Charlies, Plato Murphy’s, An Cruiscin Lan, Nancy Spains, The Bru Bar, The Venue Bar and others, and were always well received. Depending on the requirements of the venue, the band are equally adept at playing acoustically or full electric. They also can lay claim to a growing following which will, doubtlessly, attend any gig they are hired for.
The Wall Street Thieves are new but they have each been playing for a while and as a group you will hear more from this young band, and don’t be surprised if its your parents who start singing the songs these guys write as the sounds are retro but in todays world it’s a fresh and exciting sound live music guitar bas and drums with driving beat and well worked harmonies.
