In the wake of the release of latest album 'Bloodless Coup,' as well as a sell-out European and US tour, Bell X1 have confirmed a string of early 2013 acoustic live dates. Bell X1 Tickets are on sale now.
'Bloodless Coup' sees Bell X1 mixing the organic with the digital. The album pulses with electronic influences, more than on previous releases. The record was made in the shadow of Ireland’s economic implosion and while not a political record, Bell X1 couldn’t help being influenced by the very personal consequences of a staggering national catastrophe. "Ireland is in ways a microcosm or concentrated dose of the madness that has us all sloshing around in the shit,” says Noonan speaking about their single ‘Sugar High’.
“The cash flying around in what was essentially a bubble during the Celtic Tiger brought out the worst in us, as it does in most. Fianna Fail, had an annual fundraising event at the Galway races, where the property developers and bankers of the day would hang with our esteemed public representatives. The song began as a HR Giger vision of this old boys club, out of their minds, riding each other on a sugar high."
