BAND TO EMBARK ON HEADLINE TOUR IN JANUARY 2011
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, FRIENDS OF EMMET (F.O.E.) are now based in Los Angeles, CA and released their debut album COMING APART in April of 2010.
The album’s title track “Coming Apart” is a tribute to Kevin Hines (HBO’s The Bridge), who attempted suicide at the age of 19 and survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Hines is one of the few to ever survive the suicide plunge from 245 feet above the water and is now an advocate for several suicide prevention organisations. Upon hearing about Hines’ story, the band found themselves inspired by the turn of events and wrote “Coming Apart” in his honour.
The video for the title track “Coming Apart” was filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles & also features Kevin Hines. The video was featured on CBS Sunday Morning in October 2010 as part of a Suicide Prevention segment featuring Kevin Hines and “S.A.V.E.” (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education.)
Mark Leddy and Brian Lynam from FRIENDS OF EMMET appeared on FOX NETWORKS “SOCCER TALK LIVE” in September – discussing Soccer, the band’s recent release and the video for “Coming Apart”. Mark also performed three songs at the Yahoo! Music headquarters in Santa Monica, CA. The live recordings of “Amazed”, “No Surprise” & “Coming Apart” are also currently featured on Yahoo! Music.com and can be viewed here: http://new.music.yahoo.com/friends-of-emmet/videos/
The official video for “Coming Apart” is also slated to be featured on Yahoo! Music's New Video Station in the coming weeks.
In addition to “Coming Apart” getting National exposure on television and radio, FRIENDS OF EMMET was also just tapped with a Hollywood Music in Media Award Nomination for the single’s video.
