The Chapters <thechapters>


The Chapters are fast becoming one of the most critically acclaimed bands to come out of Ireland in Years. Renowned for their Energetic live performances and innovative song writing, 2007 saw the band release the soul thumping pop hit 'Looking For Love' which reached No.1 in the Phantom FM Listeners Chart 3 weeks in a row and was also feature in an advertisement on Sky One & E4. To add to this, The Chapters were also chosen as Myspace Music Featured Artist for UK & Ireland.
2008 has already seen The Chapters play sell out shows around Ireland with such legends as Neil Young & Chuck Berry and established Irish acts such as Choice Music nominated and Meteor award winning Cathy Davey, chart toppers The Coronas and Republic of Loose. The band are currently recording their eagerly awaited debut album due for release in early 2009.

"Something of a best kept secret�.They could be your new favorite band, just give them a try." Gareth Maher, Totally Dublin ..."On the subject of great records by Irish bands, watch out for the new EP by The Chapters. It's one of the best things to come out of Ireland in years, with four great songs that set the bar higher than it's been in a long time for local outfits. A message to A&R guys: someone should sign 'em up quick' cos they have what it takes for the long haul Niall Stokes, Hotpress Review for 'Four Thorns' 06

News....
Well, newsish

Howdy.

It's been a good few months, if we may say so. Supporting one of our influences (Neil Young) and a man who influenced a load of our influences (Chuck Berry), has been bizarre and a shitload of fun. Castlepalooza & Indiependence were a blast (Fight Like Apes rocked both).

In Album land it's all moving along nicely. We have a load of songs written and demoed (too many to choose from) and we're currently talking to a few producers; we're quite excited about it right now. All we can say is we promise a fucking great album, and look forward to hearing you hear it.

Few things up our sleeves which we can't divulge just yet, but we will in good time.

In the meanwhile we're off to attend the birthday of Michael Winslow (noise guy from Police Academy). Bizarro.

Happy Autumn

Peru Stock Take 2
Dear Chapters,

I'm a past pupil of St. Kilian’s German School, and I’m running a Charity Gig in Vicar Street in November for a charity project called Project Peru, I understand you are very busy but please read the following information about our charity and maybe you might be interested in helping out and playing our gig! We have also been in contact with The Dirty Epics, Delorentos, The Blizzards and Television Room and are waiting responses!

Project Peru is a Charity that was set up by the pupils and staff of St. Kilian’s School in Clonskeagh Dublin. The initiative was set up three years ago to raise €60,000 to build an irrigation system in the village of Los Angles in the Mache region of Peru. Since then, the project has flourished into a successful, registered charity. This summer we will be travelling to Peru, to begin the project.

However once this trip is over the Charity will continue to grow in conjunction with the Sisters of Mercy in Peru, who work closely with the people. Our hope is to continue the project by financing and building similar projects within the Mache region.

Our Charity Gig, to be held in Vicar Street in November 2008 will be the first fundraiser in the second phase of project.

Of course the gig will benefit the Charity but it will also benefit the band. Most notably by helping to increase your ever-expanding fan base across the country and help promote your new album. The target audience will be 16-23 year olds. Also you already have a very good image but the bands image can only be increased if they are seen to be actively showing an interest in helping people around the world. There will also be nationwide media exposure on top of what you already receive as one of Ireland’s most prestige’s bands.

The date we have agreed with Vicar Street is Wednesday 19th November and we hope that you will be able to perform on this date and help generate much need funds for the Charity.

The generation of such funds is vital for the people of the Mache region. The region consists of 15 villages and life is very basic. Many of the people, predominantly the women are illiterate, as they have never had the chance to attend school. As a result their main source of income is from agricultural produce. In this way an effective irrigation system is vital. It will allow the people to water their crops freely and they will be able to produce two crops a year. This will bring money into the village thus allowing the children, both boys and girls to attend school, as education is the key to ending poverty. In this way the project is far reaching as it benefits the people of the present and the children of the future.

We would greatly appreciate if you could lend us your time and talent in Vicar Street in November and help make the night a great success.

Regards,
Cian Donohoe,
