A while back Under Blue Skies did a post on the late 1980's Dublin band Hey Paulette It wasn't long after that post that I received an e-mail from Derrick who was in the band and now is in another called Crumb alongside former fellow Hey Paulette member Eamonn Davis. He informed me that Crumb released an album earlier this year titled "Evenings & Weekends"
The album is not bad at all leaning more towards indie rock than indie pop. I particularly liked the track "Follow Me Home" which happened to be the bands debut single. I'm sure the rest of the album will grab me in the same way after a few more plays.
Crumb - Follow Me Home
You can download two more tracks from the album via bands music page.
Derrick also advised me that the band are hoping to release a new single by the end of the year. Titled "Like Goodbye" it's a track not available on the album. He also stated that all the members of Crumb are in a band called Melba whose lead singer happens to be Eileen Gogan, formerly of The Would Be's. Melba are currently recording an album which is hoped to be out next year on their own label Disques Fridge.
As for Hey Paulette a compilation will be released next year on the German label Firestation Records. The compilation will feature the singles and the session they recorded for John Peel. The band are also selling the Hey Paulette 12" single "I Really Love Penelope" again after noticing some high prices their material was going for on e-bay.
The bands 7" single "Commonplace" once got 'tingle of the week' in the Melody Maker.
