If 2012 wasn’t a big enough year for Ellie and Louise Macnamara aka Heathers, having recorded their second album with producer Max Dingel (White Lies) and signing a global deal with Universal Music Publishing UK, 2013 is continuing at pace their non-stop rise both in Ireland and internationally. |

Following on from the success of ‘Forget Me Knots’ from their Choice Music nominated 2nd album ‘Kingdom’, Heathers are continuing their international rise and have now signed a deal with Warner Music Germany for the whole of Central Europe which will include releasing the new album in Germany, Austria, Switzerland & Poland. 1st single ‘Forget Me Knots’ has already become an airplay success in Germany with playlisting on several key stations, and the girls have also been in demand for major German TV shows over recent weeks. |
|||
This German success follows on from the girls’ recent signing to Sony Music Canada (following a very successful trip in April, they toured Canada again in June, and in fact are returning in October for another 5-date tour) and is part of their on-going campaign to release ‘Kingdom’ worldwide, continuing to build a solid fan-base internationally this year. These Canadian dates will be followed by a tour of the US East Coast including key shows in NYC, Boston and Washington DC ahead of 15 October release of Forget Me Knots in the US through Sony Red (the label which has experienced huge success of late with Mumford and Sons, Phoenix and more). |
