Heres a Bio!
"We are four girls who happen to be in a band together." say B*
Witched. "We don't want to be one dimensional. We don't want to
be about one thing. We want to be about everything. We want
B*Witched to be nothing less than a celebration of being alive."
They're about as lively and lovely as it gets right now. Fizzier
than a vat full of lemonade. They're B*Witched. Four
multi-talented girls from Dublin. Who have single-handedly
breathed fresh life into the pop charts. "We're more interested in
bringing joy into people's lives than becoming incredibly famous,"
they say. With the incredible chart success of their first two
singles - the instantly infectious "C'est La Vie" and
"Rollercoaster" - they look set to do both.
The roots of B*Witched extend back a long way. All the way back
to Dublin where, in the early eighties, twin sisters Edele and
Keavy discovered a mutual love of music. "We come from a
musical family," they say, "So there was always music around us
when we were growing up. Our grandad played the fiddle, so we
never needed much of an excuse to dance and sing. From a really
early age, we started making up our own songs and performing
them. I suppose, at some point, it occurred to us that we might
grow up to be performers. But it seemed like a distant dream.
Then, as we got older, it started looking more realistic. We
thought, 'Yeah, we can do this' ". It was at that point that things
started falling into place.
All they needed now was to recruit a couple of kindred spirits.
Those potential team mates were out there somewhere,
harbouring similar dreams of pop stardom. All that was required
was a few simple twists of fate to bring B*Witched together.
Like the twins, Sinead had been involved in music from a tender
age - playing piano from the age of seven and going on to study
dance and performance. One morning, she wandered into the
Dublin garage where Keavy was working as a part-time
mechanic. The two girls bonded immediately and the B*Witched
line-up was three-quarters of the way to making up the full
coven.....
Enter Lindsay who was already an accomplished musician, having
learned the piano at seven and the guitar at thirteen. She met up
with Keavy at a kick-boxing class and, bingo, B*Witched were
ready to cast their collective spell.
Inspired by the success of the twins' brother Shane (a member of
Boyzone, no less), the four girls decamped to Sinead's Dublin flat
where, for months on end, they buckled down to writing songs and
singing into a cheap tape recorder.
"Right from the start," Sinead recalls, "we just seemed to hit it
off, both musically and socially. But we didn't want to hurry
anything. We knew we had something good going, but we wanted
to take our time with it. Between the four of us, we had all these
different musical influences, everything from hip hop to pop, from
soul to traditional Irish folk. And we wanted to take all our
influences, absorb them, and create something that was entirely
our own."
The release of "C'est La Vie" made for a boldly spirited start. A
sublime slice of contemporary music, which incorporates elements
of soul and Irish jiggery, it stands out as one of the most animated
debut singles in recent memory. The kind of song which wastes no
time in burrowing into the listener's subconscious and refusing to
budge. A storming debut, so it is. And the start of an exciting new
pop adventure.
