Our Story:

Hope Irish (yes thats her real name) hails from Salado, Texas, which is why her music occasionally tastes a bit seedy and countrified, as well as punkishly rebellious. Hope Moved to Austin to continue her education, which in turn took her across the pond to London, UK. Hope had also been very busy all of this time working and performing with another mind-shattering, butt-shaking band from Austin called BROTHER MACHINE. While living in London, she dropped all but a few art-related classes and gained an education of her own by visiting music venues every night, (which often left her waiting for the damned night bus and lead to getting lost in not the best of neighbourhoods) as well as slinging pints at the castle pub. Eventually, she had to come back to Austin to graduate, but not without an armload of new material and a brainful of new influences. Hope Irish recorded her first EP in 2005, HopeIsh, with Rambunctious Entertainment of Denton, Tx, and backing band,THE INFLUENCE. The EP features seven gritty tracks of angst, love, and cynicism. Since then, Hope Irish has been working with SuperPop Records of Austin Texas to complete a full length album, which after much ado, is now complete, as of march 2007! Buy it, it's called THE BEST OF THE LEAST.

Hope Irish can be found in many local bars here in Austin playing and drinking with her mates, Seth Gibbs, Joey Thompson, and Peter Stafford of Brother Machine and the Archibalds.
