Ireland
Bitches with Wolves
ESNS: 2012
An eye set firmly on the stars, a good wardrobe, a gig date, that is all that James O'Neill needed. With his band Bitches With Wolves he gets his inspiration from 80's and 90's electronic music which explains why the band is the perfect support act for bands like Erasure, Hercules & Love Affair, Datarock and Calvin Harris. O'Neill has been called "The Great Irish Pop Hope" while his music was described as a mix of a MSTRKRFT remix, Goldfrapp on a boozy Friday night and early 80s Madonna if she were born today. You Can't Piss To This is the Bitches With Wolves motto that is also heard throughout new EP The Hurricane. About their performance at Oxegen Festival, Ireland's biggest music festival, was written: "James O’Neill is one of those frontmen that you can’t help but be captivated by: he dances like a madman, working what could have been a difficult crowd well and remaining almost note perfect throughout." Bitches With Wolves is like one of their song titles: Strictly Pleasure.
