5 Minutes With... Cave Ghosts | Ruth Ni Leannachain
I know you've all been members of a few prominent Irish bands already but can you give an insight into how you all got together in this line-up?We met on thumped.com, which seems insane but I really feel like it was meant to be, we were complete strangers we were all out of our comfort zones with this too. Enda is primarily a drummer, and Connor's a guitarist, so they swapped instruments for the project.Your music has been linked to artists like Beach House and Best Coast, were they big inspirations?Victoria Legrand and Bethany Cosentino are both great female songwriters and musicians and were definitely inspiration for us to get out there. It's nice to have a modern female front-women to look up to. I think we'd cite The Beach Boys as our biggest influence though.Tell us about your upcoming gig?It'll be our first gig outside Dublin, and Cork has always been such an incredible city for music. I lived, studied music and played in a band in Cork for years, so I'm really looking forward to seeing some familiar faces.Finally what are your plans for 2013?Our main goal is to play a tonne of gigs, keep writing songs and after that we hope to release a single or EP this side of the summer. Cave Ghosts play for free downstairs in The Pavillion on January 24th.
