RED QUEEN CONTEST
plus guests
“With guitar playing that moves between crunchy grit and intricate acoustic picking, a wild rhythm section that are tighter than a ducks nether regions, and a pair of honey toned frontmen singing in harmony, Meath’s Red Queen Contest certainly know how to grab your attention” – HotPress
The band released their self titled debut album in October 2013 to much acclaim.
RQC release their latest single ‘One And The Same’ on Friday 4th of July. The track was mixed by L.A. based producer Al Clay whose credits include The Pixies, Blur & Stereophonics.
They play the Light Colour Sound festival which takes place July 4th & 5th at Shankhill Castle, Kilkenny.
They are also delighted to announce a show in Whelans. They play the upstairs venue on Thursday July 10th.
RQC were also recently shortlisted for the HotPress “Big Break” 2014 competition.
New label Zephyr Sounds have just added Red Queen Contest to their roster. They will release the band’s debut internationally in the coming months.
