Eugene McGuinness

30th May 2007

Eugene McGuinness is a young musician based in, erm… well a small rural town in Northern Ireland, Liverpool and London, for now. Eugene releases his debut single, Monsters Under The Bed, an everyday lament of self-inflicted insomnia through late night TV, avoiding work and shying away from facing up to his personal demons -on June 25th through Double Six Records, a division of Domino Publishing.

Despite not having released any material, Monsters Under The Bed has already been receiving regular support on Radio 1 from Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq. Eugene has since recorded three tracks at Maida Vale for a Radio 1 Huw Stephens live session, which was broadcasted on May 2nd.

The B-side to Monsters is the twisted ballad (in the form of a waltz, no less!) of a debauched and seedy back street of Liverpool named Myrtle Parade. Eugene will be playing a number of festivals this summer and releases his debut album in July. Also he’ll be performing at Liverpool’s Zanzibar on 2nd June and Korova on the 18th June.
