Le Galaxie are about to release their third studio album 'Pleasure'. This album is a mature sounding banger and we were delighted to have them in to record for The McLoone Sessions.

I am particularly LOVING 'L.I.E', no doubt this will become a festival anthem over the summer. They will be coming to Connolly's of Leap with the show on April 26th.

Paul McLoone has started taking his show On Tour across the country and the first gig was in Galway's finest The Roisin Dubh. 

Alongside David Keenan and Slow Riot we had freezerRoom on the live bill. They are the brainchild of Graham White and feature some of Ireland's hottest voices and musicians. Jack O'Rourke, Wallis Bird, Tracey K and Emma Langford were all in attendance creating a really immense stage presence. 

We loved having them to play and you can listen to the live session above. It includes a version of my favourite house music record sang by Tracey K,  'The Cure and The Cause', which I never expected to appear on Paul's show, it was stunning. 

Check them out here, go buy the album 'Fire On The Ocean' you will thank us! 

What a blast! Fantastic night @roisindubhpub playing on @PMcLoone show with @freezerRoom @wallisbird @JackORourkes So much joy all in white !! 🎶🎻😘 pic.twitter.com/5lbRofO6mj
