Owensie’s been hanging around the Dublin music scene in his various guises for so long that he’s practically part of the furniture but now its time to hit the UK. The talented Dublin songwriter, a one-time member of Puget Sound & Terrordactyl (featuring the Adebisi shank boys) and current guitarist with Realistic Train, released his debut album “Aliens” in feb 2011, it was recorded by James Eager at the Hive Studios were Owensie was joined by Andy Mooney (percussion), Mick Roe (drums), Julia Mahon (piano, piano and string arrangements) , Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (viola) and Paddy Dexter (cello).

“A peaceful album to fall asleep to, and what’s more, an exciting one to make up with” – 4/5 Hot Press

“It’s the clever, slow-paced reps and carefully layered undertones that leap to the fore” – 4/5, State.ie

“A quietly evocative and memorable record that deserves to be heard – and adored”- 4/5, Sunday Business Post
