FROM SWEENEYS BAR ON DAME STREET
PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
The Chase started out 6 years ago as a originals rock n roll band, giging around all the club venue's in town playing on average 3 times a week for a year and a half and got a nice little following,, [Eamon Dorans,Whealans, The Village, Tink Tank, Crawdaddy, Sugarclub, Radio City,Temple Bar Music Centre, Pravda, Legal Eagle, Ma Reillys, The Blackforge, The Elenora, The Half Way House] to name a few. They then thought it was time to go into the studio for a few months to make their first album, recorded at BlueFace Studio's they put together a 12 track album which was basically all the songs in there set list when playing live. After some time the bass player was replaced, but things were not the same as it wasn't the original band. As time went by and the gigs kept coming, Derek Keegan and Joe Pendred wanted to improve their musicianship and started to come up with much more productive material but the drummer seemed to be loosing interest as he had other projects going on at the time. The drummer was quickly replaced by Shane Cusack a multi-talented musician. From then on they were the funky new 3 piece The Chase. For another 2 years the band made varios recordings and giged around the dublin scene. 2010 the band took a break for about 8 months due to serios personal problems. When the band did get back together they rehearsed for some time but the drummer Shane Cusacks heart was not in it anymore, so they went there seperate ways. After a few days Derek Keegan and Joe Pendred the original founders of The Chase spoke, they felt they were not ready to stop and decided to get a 2 piece acoustic act together, playing a covers set and also an originals set together, giging around smaller pubs and clubs to start with..things are going really well at the present time, with plenty of gigs and the possibility of a manager blossoming, the future looks good for THE CHASE.
