Kowalski are Louis Price, Paddy Conn, Tom O’Hara and Paddy Baird, a line up finally settled on in late 2009. A few months later their ‘Take Care, Take Flight’ EP arrived and before long they were venturing around the UK and Europe supporting Two Door Cinema Club and Alt-J.
These tours lead to Kowalski agreeing their own headline tour across Europe.
Bringing together their echo-laiden guitars and sythesizers Kowalski create an upbeat shimmering dream pop for the modern age. Think somewhere between Postal Service, Phoenix and Bloc Party.
Over the past few years they have shared the stage with
• ALT-J, Two Door Cinema Club, Snow Patrol, Editors, Modest Mouse, Athlete, The Go! Team, and Ash across Ireland and the UK.
• Kowalski were Playlisted on Radio1 as BBC Introducing band of the week,
getting airtime on shows including Fearne Cotton, Greg James, Dev & Huw Stephens.
• Kowalski have had their music featured on hit MTV show Skins US and major rebranding projects such as Ballygowan water and British Airways.
• Music playlisted for highstreet retailers, Dior, Topshop and River Island.
Big things are expected of the four-piece with the flurry of reviews including:
“…one of the most exciting bands to come out of Northern Ireland in recent years and are most certainly a force to be reckoned with.” – BBC
“Balloons, fairy lights and pretty boys, a Kowalski gig make, plus a fistful of songs that are thoughtful and well crafted….It seems Arcade Fire and Death Cab For Cutie have spread their seed wisely” – THE FLY
