The music fraternity were out to beat the band at the Sugar Club this week at a party to announce the launch of The Raw Sessions with Sony Ericsson, a brand new eight-part interactive music series on television which will see eight talented Irish music acts write, record and mix an original song in front of the cameras in 12 hours or less. Viewers can vote for their favourite song and by downloading it can help the artists of the week into the Irish charts.
The Raw Sessions with Sony Ericsson, which will be presented by recording artist, actor and producer Dez Ryan, will be broadcast on RTÉ Two every Tuesday at 11.55pm from 12 May. Independent artists including Majella Murphy, Rarely Seen Above Ground (RSAG), Sickboy, Noise Control, Dirty Epics, Hoarsebox, Infomatics and Sweet Jane will take part in the series with the goal of becoming “Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year”.
The Raw Sessions concept was conceived and developed by Dez Ryan and producer/artist Chris Gubisch and their band ‘Surplus’ in a garage studio in LA. The innovative programme represents a first for Ireland by creating an original music series format while being the first television programme to produce and bring two original songs to life on air each week, which are then offered to audiences for download following the show via www.therawsessions.ie .
All downloads count towards the Irish charts so it is important that viewers download the free song in order to help their favourite band into the charts!! The top three artists who record new songs in Grouse Lodge will perform at a live event where one of them will be named “Sony Ericsson Artist of The Year”.
