‘It’s more an experience than a gig’ promises band
Later this month, Third Lung will celebrate the launch of their EP at The Facebar. LAURA SCARDARELLA gets a preview
AN ALTERNATIVE rock band is preparing for “one hell of a night” later this month, band member Tom Farrelly said.
Third Lung, based in Reading, will host its new EP launch at The Facebar, on Ambrose Place, Reading, on Friday, November 26.
The EP, called Dialogues Of The Fatal Few, sees a compilation of singles, plus some bonus material, that the band released this year.
Joining Third Lung on the night will be Reading-based artist Deva St. John, Split
The Dealer and four-piece alternative rock band Red Tape Resistance.
The group features Tom Farrelly, on lead vocals and guitar, Cams Jurasek on lead guitar and backing vocals, Rob Jacques on bass guitar, and Sam Waugh on drums.
Lead singer Tom said they’ve got some incredible guests joining them on the launch night.
“We always put on a powerful show. When you come to see Third Lung it’s definitely more of an experience rather than a gig,” he said.
“It’s going to be one hell of a night, and we can’t wait for everyone to come.”
Tom added that lockdown gave the group a great deal of focus.
“When the pandemic hit, we were so determined to crack on and we managed to write so much new material,” he said.
“We filmed some videos, and we’re now just about to go back into the studio to create more music which is great.”
Tom said Dialogues Of The Fatal Few has a common theme in that the voices of a very vocal few can have such a dramatic effect of the majority.
The group also hosted its first self-built music festival, Lodd Fest, at Loddon Brewery in September.
The event featured 15 artists and bands throughout the day.
Tom added that the biggest thing the band will take from 2021 is building the festival with the brewery.
“The festival sold out so quickly,” he said.
“We weren’t sure it was going to go ahead a few weeks before, but it did, and it was such a magical day, and we’re already so excited to already have it booked in again for next September.”
