First Time (1st Time) is a new song about old times from The Shoos and is available on all platforms from March 21st , 2020. Great times for best friends hanging out, making music and performing live together!
First Time (1st Time) is a nod to the band’s earlier years together and signals Tex, Scott and Steve recording together for the first time since their self-titled 2016 album. Then fatherhood and other life events took over.
“We have been generally living and loving life and getting ready to get back in to studio again to record some more new tracks, to do what we love,” said the band.
Some of The Shoos final shows before taking some time out to enjoy other parts of their lives include guesting with Jeff Lynne at both his 3Arena and Birmingham Arena Shows during the summer 2016.
In the Dublin band’s earlier years, they caught the attention of the media with the release of some cracking singles, rewarded with generous radio support. In addition, the band was selected on various occasions as UTV Radio’s Select Irish Artist of the Month, IASCA’s Play Irish Artist of the Week on various stations, and Dermot & Dave’s Homegrown Heroes.
The Shoos launch onto the scene was further enhanced in 2010 when invited by industry heavyweights One Republic to guest on the Irish leg of its European tour after members popped into a Whelan’s show while in the city for rehearsals. Since then the band also enjoyed high-profile guest slots with Maroon 5 , Life House & Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), amongst others.
We are doing this for fun. There is no big agenda, we have always enjoyed playing music together, so why not now, again,” said Tex.
