Not So Jaded

Jaded Sun, the rock n’ roll outfit from Dublin, will soon embark on their debut Irish tour, taking in most of Irelands top music venues across the country. Long over due but justified in the delay, as the hard working band have been reaping the fruits of their labour with a very successful 2005.

Jaded Sun formed in 2002 and recorded their critically acclaimed debut EP “Raw” in 2004. This launched their rock profile to a national stage with the debate on whether download charts should be chart tracked, as their song Raw was the most down loaded track on Ireland’s premier down load charts CPU. The track broke all down load records in Ireland, with the track staying at the top of the charts for almost 30 weeks. Also in 2004 the band reached the Irish final of the Global Battle of the Bands, which the industry put them as one of the biggest prospects in Irish music.

The band were signed by Sian Records in May 2005, and went straight into the recording studio with Irelands top rock producers Chris OBrien and Graham Murphy, with Chris being recognised as one of the most accomplished Irish rock producers ever, producing the likes of Aslan, Hot House Flowers, Adam Clayton and Boom Town Rats. In fact he even went as far to say “John (lead singer with Jaded Sun) was arguably one of the best lead vocalists that he had ever worked with or ever seen”.

Already the band have been making a name for themselves on the international scene, as they have been asked to write the theme song for a movie remake of Apocolypse Snow, which was a cult snowboarding movie in the 80’s, with the film getting Hollywood backing and also the director being Didier Lafond, who co-directed the blockbuster Terminal Velocity starring Charlie Sheen, so this is an opportunity that could catapult the band into world stardom.

Jaded Sun play Eamon Doran’s on May 6th.
