03 - Stop It, I Might Like It
04 - Chocolate Factory
05 - Catholic Credit Card
06 - Lights Out Boys

10 - Paris In The 21st Century




The Pale Biog

Formed in 1990, The Pale began with a unique and unusual style. The vocal, mandolin, drum machine, bass and acoustic guitar lineup of The Pale had an very individual approach to songwriting. That year, The Pale recorded a mini album called "Why Go Bald?" which grabbed the attention of both the public and record companies alike. On receiving some modest funding from U2 manager Paul McGuinness The Pale recorded a mini album called "The Happy Ring House". Both titles for the The Pale records were taken from famous neon signs in Dublin. The Pale played with determination to promote both of these early records and soon grew into an act with a good live reputation.

In 1992 The Pale released an award winning debut album called "Here's one we made earlier" on A&M Records. This debut full length album was a essentially compilation of the "Why Go Bald?"and "The Happy Ring House" mini albums. The debut album and conseqeunt international live shows were warmly received. Three singles from this debut soon followed "Dogs With No Tails" "Butterfly" and "Shut Up Venus". The song "Dogs With No Tails" had another lease of life in 2001 when a Turkish Ska band called Athena released a version which became a hit for a second time in Turkey. "Butterfly" also lived another day recently when it appeared in Irish as "Féileacán" on the "Ceol '06" Compilation .

The music The Pale produce is often accessible and difficult to describe. Some new descriptive terms have been invented over the years just to try describe the band such as "Punkranian""Polk" and "Zoukibilly". You will certainly remember the sound of The Pale, once you hear it.

Over the years The Pale have collaborated with a great number of different musicians with their main strength being a willingness to think outside the box.. Fast forward to the present day and The Pale are still very much an active and productive band. The last album The Pale recorded was called "The Contents Of a Shipwreck" and was released on 1969 Records in 2007. Two singles have been released from this album "Elizabeth in Rags" and "The New Resistance". "Elizabeth in Rags"has also appeared in Irish as "Elizabeth Sna Bratóga! " on the "Ceol '07" Compilation .

Here's what some reviews had to say about "The Contents Of a Shipwreck"...

"The Contents Of A Shipwreck is a welcome return by an oft missed, much needed band" John Brereton

"File under Welcome Back" Jackie Hayden

"As comebacks go,then,The Contents Of A Shipwreck is one of constant, delightful suprise" Eamon de Paor

"The Pale are back with a new album that adds even more to their reputation" Stephen Rapid

A brand new single entitled "Chocolate Factory" b/w “Lady Gregory” has recently been released as a free download from www.thepale.ie and www.myspace.com/thepaleie. Classic Pale, in both its quirkiness and pop sensibility. The track is also available in limited CD format from the shop on the 1969 Record site (www.1969records.com) and through Road Records. This single is taken from the new forthcoming Pale album "Proper Order" which is due for release in 2009. The Pale also plan a second single before the release of the new album.

Here is what Hot Press Magazine had to say about the new single...

The Pale "Chocolate Factory" (1969 Records) "An exotic Mediterranean flavour permeates this catchy little acoustic ditty from the always-enjoyable Pale. After a well-received return last year with "The Contents Of A Shipwreck", it seems yet more new material is in the works - and if this single is anything to go by, we could be in the middle of something of a golden age for Pale fanatics" Stephen Errity ,Hot Press

Here is what 1969 Records had to say about The Pale recently...

"There are also rumours of a collection of Pale music and tracks for later on in the year. As anyone who has seen the recent live shows will know, there is still a great affection for earlier tracks and notwithstanding the long unavailability of these tracks on CD, this is something that the band are hoping to address in the coming months, as well as including some rare material" Daragh Bohan 1969 Records.
