Artists Biography / History / Notes:
NB: Do NOT use apostrophes (') in the following as this will cause problems later
modesty are: dec mulligan: vocals mark whelan: drums, percussion paul mulligan: guitars, keyboards, backing vocals fergal dunne: bass guitar gary branigan: guitars, backing vocals modesty are a 5-piece -as yet unsigned- group from Dublin playing music that is heavy on melody and driving beats but easy on the ear. The group have wide ranging influences, reflecting the varied tastes of the quintet, all of whom have gained experience of playing in bands for a number of years. Three members of the group - Mark, Paul & Fergal - formed 'Modesty Blaze' in the mid 90s and gigged extensively on the Dublin scene, releasing an EP to critical acclaim. All three continued to dabble in their varied musical tastes after the premature break-up of the group but it was not until the summer of 2002 that the trio re-joined and recruited Dec Mulligan on vocals (Dec had previously worked in a number of bands with Mark) and Gary Branigan on guitar (similarly, Gary had gigged with Fergal). A whole new sound was created and modesty was born. Added to the already tight rhythm section of the original trio were the powerful vocals of Dec and the blues-based lead of Gary. Songwriter Paul has come up with a brand new batch of songs and re-jigged some popular oldies, to which Gary has also added some original material. The result is a wide-ranging catalogue of songs to suit many tastes with a variety of approach that gives the band a unique sound. The subject matter can be varied too - love, life and death are explored but often in unconventional terms while allusions to drugs, pubs and deserts means that there is always a surprise or two in store! Already the band have recorded a 13-song demo cd, a veritable tour de force to which the 5-piece can easily add another 20 tracks as recent gigs have shown.
