READER'S WIVES (BalconyTV)

PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE

My name is Niall James Holohan. I'm the inciter behind Dublin band Reader's Wives. No longer need you surf the internet looking at crappy stage managed bands full of girls with fake tits, guys with fake moans and truly awful, thoroughly manufactured scenester haircuts who'd do anything to have their shockwave haircuts and painted nails pictured in NME. We're not trendy. We're not 17. There's only one reason this band are here. We love music. It's like medicine to us.

For those of you who've met me, virtually, just now, I've been writing since I was a kid, since I didn't know what else to do; playing music and writing tunes since I was about 14; and a professional musician since about 2004.

Every time I've taken a knock in my life, music has been there to keep me going, frighten away the fear, lift me back on my feet and give me back my faith in the future. It's no accident that I do this for a living. Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the Velvet Underground, Bitches Brew or Neutral Milk Hotel?
