Tony Roche
Tony is a well known drummer both in Ireland and abroad.
He toured extensively in the United Sates and Europe with
rock groups in the 90's before settling back in his native
Limerick. He then established a reputation as Ireland's
leading in-club percussionist playing live with some of
the top international DJs including Miguel Migs and Kerri
Chandler in all of Ireland's leading house music clubs.
Tony
is currently percussionist/programmer with DeLorean Suite.
DeLorean Suite are a three piece electronic act from Limerick,
Ireland. Consisting of Jennifer McMahon (Vocals), Tony Roche
(Drums/Percussion) and Graham Conway (Keyboards/Production),
the trio originally collaborated in Irish Drum'n'Bass Crew,'Radars.'
The last number of years, however, have been spent crafting
a more laid-back, subtle sound which seeks the amalgamation
of genres as varied as House, Downtempo, Nu-Jazz and R'n'B.
The result is a dynamic blend of soulful grooves, punctuated
by tight percussion and delicate synth textures. These recordings
have seen them win praise from artists as diverse as legendary
bassist, Chuck Rainey (Steely Dan, Quincy Jones), session
Guitarist, Bibi McGill (Beyonce), bassist & MC Divinity
Roxx (Beyonce) who now is recording for us, and producer,
Brad Somatik (4 Hero, Victor Duplaix).
Although their primary focus has been on their recorded
output, the band have also enjoyed considerable success
performing in a live environment. Their stage show is a
complementary mix of acoustic instrumentation and electronic
sequences. Support slots to 'Groove Armada' and 'DJ Sneak'
have helped to develop their profile in their home country.
Meanwhile, invitations to perform at festivals in Paris,
Berlin and Tallinn, Estonia have succeeded in introducing
them to a European audience.
DeLorean Suite are currently working on new material and
are very excited that bassist Chuck Rainey has recently
laid down bass on one of their upcoming tracks.as They intend
to release an album independently in 2009 and continue to
build on their previous successes.
