Smokey Angle Shades

Smokey Angle Shades are: Pat Dam Smyth and Nipsy Russell, from Northern Ireland; Ned Crowther from England; and Antonio Feola from Italy. The group was formed when members of The Fools, 747s, Pat Dam Smyth and The Fernweh joined forces in Berlin for a week of shows and song writing that laid out the blueprints for their future sound : an appreciation of 60s & 70s song craft and blended vocal harmonies. With their authentic rock n roll approach the band continued to write new music and tour the UK, Europe and America, building a mythical and cult following. The band’s debut album, ‘Shades of Joy’ was released in 2015 to wide acclaim and was selected by Cerys Matthew’s as her BBC 6 music artist pick. The group returned on Good Friday 7th April 2023 with the single ‘And You Tied A Ribbon On It’ recorded at London’s legendary Fish Factory Studio, released on their own record label, Europa Sun. ‘A Star Called Youth’ was the 2nd single, followed by 3rd single ‘15 Years’ all taken from their upcoming new album ‘Let Go Of The Past’ set for release Friday 29th September 2023.
