JOE’s Song Of The Day #615: Mélia – ‘New Blue Ibiza’

Eric Lalor

Mélia are here to funk your head up and all that jazz.

Mélia have been quietly gigging around Ireland for the last two years building their fan-base in music venues around the capital and other parts of the country.

The three-piece band draw upon influences of pop, rock, jazz and funk, to create a unique and energetic brand of guitar-driven chaos. And trust us, one listen and you’ll realise it’s just that.

This track was recorded in Camelot Studios in Dublin and is a really powerful showcase of what this band is about. The Mayo-Kilkenny-Meath axis of talent have released this track as part of a new EP called ‘About Time’ which is being released this week.

They have a very unique fresh sound and that Ciaran O’Malley chap has serious vocal talents. This is a band going places and it’ll be interesting to see how big they get.

If like us, you like the look of this band, you can catch them live in Dublin at The Underground Venue, 64 Dame Street on Thursday 28 June. To keep posted on the band, check out their Facebook page right here.
