Melbourne, Australia (1999 – 2005)
Clann Zú was an Australian band that formed in Melbourne in 1999. The forming members drew inspiration from an eclectic mix of musical styles, such as punk, rock, folk, electronic & classical. Their fusion of Celtic folk, electronic music and rock has created a unique epic soundscape full of powerful atmospheric sounds and off-beat instrumentation. Their songs are bilingual, utilising both Irish and English lyrics.
They were with G7 Welcoming Committee Records, an independent record label established by Chris Hannah and Jordan Samoleski - of labelmates Propagandhi - and Regal in 1997.
Their second album Black Coats and Bandages was released in June 2004. This saw a move away from the traditional Irish and folk influences which had characterised their first LP, “Rua”. Despite this stylistic departure they retained and indeed increased their use of the Irish language, with two songs (“t-éan bán” and “An deireadh scéal”) sung entirely in Irish.
The animated video for their song “Five Thousand More” created by vocalist, Declan, was featured in various festivals and online film and animation sites worldwide, including the 47th Cork International Film Festival. They subsequently released an animated video to accompany an Irish version of “Crashing to the Floor” in mid-2003.
Clann Zú released the following statement, announcing their break-up, on their website in May 2005, “Clann Zú regret to announce that it is no longer continuing to tour or record. Such is the life of a band.

my, why have i been disregarding this for so long?! lyrically, the gradation is hardly believable. "AND nothing here is safe, AND nothing here is sacred, AND the thing you care for most will crawl away wounded as you tell it you love it, into the dark recesses and hollowed-out corners of nothing, AND the last touch is always the hardest, AND the last touch is always the same, AND the last look is the one that'll kill you, AND the last touch is the one that'll drive you insane." the best part is that this is not a matter of a single song but the pattern keeps repeating.

I'm listening to them for the first time now, starting with Rua. I've only listened to the first track and half-way through the second, but I can already say that this is best fucking band in the entire world. I'm in a constant state of being blown away and it's awesome.
