NEW ONE (Lumbini Sessions)
It was the year 2002 and 3 months had passed since we were living in Barcelona.
At that point we had a crystal clear idea of what was what we wanted for our career.
So, we decided to go back to Ireland. We knew Ireland already and what we saw, at least in Dublin, was that there were a lot of spaces for music.
When walking in Dublin city center you always find people you know!.. so we ran in to Demian Rice (we met Demian from our fist time in Dublin, he saw us busking a bunch of times in grafton st before we went to Denmark and Barcelona) We were not surprised when we realized he was already a big star in Ireland! In our busking days after our busking sessions we used to spend time with Demian, usually we went for a capuchino at any of the coffee shops near by and we knew, from Demian himself, that he had a crystal clear idea of what he wanted exactly for his career.
So, back to the moment we ran into him, he invited us to do support for his album release shows around the country.
In one of those gigs we were introduced to Niall, our current Manager, he said to us that we needed an album out “Something to keep us going” Then we came up with an album we called Re-Foc that helped him open his independent record label called Rubyworks.
In order to promote this album he booked us our first “proper” tour in Ireland, it was called the Ruby Sessions tour where we were playing mostly pubs and small venues all over Ireland.
This album had some tunes from a previous demo we recorded in Barcelona called Foc
Wich means fire in Catalan.
However, one of those pieces were brand new and I guess because we were rushing to finish the recording, this piece was named the new one.
We recorded the full album in our flat 116 pembroke road. In order to save some money
Demian was kind enough to lend us his gear.
The original version of the New One was recorded with fiddle , double bass and percussions.
So back in 2020 we are jamming this old New One after a good bunch of years of not playing it :-)) and our good friend and college Pablito is joining us again.
