Description:
“Cork favourites The Berries play Whelans on the 22nd January. The Berries music is an eclectic and fruity cocktail of powerful and soulful vocals layered on a foundation of pumping drum and bass blended with both delicate and blistering guitar. Their unique sound ranges from laid back, funky, melodic ballads to explosive, tribal ‘crowd exhausting’ rock songs.

2004 was a busy year for The Berries following their emergence into the Irish music scene in mid 2003. In May they released their 1st EP and followed this up by copper fastening their reputation as one of Corks best live acts by winning the prestigious ‘Murphys Uncorked/96FM Battle of The Bands’, appearing as various festivals and packing major venues around the Country (playing over 40 gigs during the year). Their 2nd EP ‘If they don’t care, why should I?” (produced by Ashley Keating of the ‘Frank & Walters’) was released in November (and launched in Cork and Dublin) to much critical praise and coverage on nationwide radio and press.”
