History

[edit]

Preachers Son was formed in 2010 by Brian Hogan, the son of a preacher.[2] He grew up listening to groups like Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Neil Young. Hogan began playing bass at the age of 12 and traveled throughout Europe playing in his father's Christian band.[3] He went on to play with various notable musicians, including Kíla who he still plays bass with. With Kila, Hogan shared a number-one-hit alongside U2 and The Dubliners (The Ballad of Ronnie Drew) and in 2010 an Oscar nomination for animated feature The Secret of Kells.[2]

Preachers Son's debut album was released independently in 2010. Titled Love Life and Limb, the album was mixed by Dave Bascombe in the Metropolis studios in London and includes a duet with Gavin Friday on the song Lipstick.[1] The band has toured in Ireland as well as internationally in Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.[4][5] In 2012, Preachers Son won the best music video at the Los Angeles Film and Script Festival for the song Come On, as well as being screened at the London International Film Festival.[6][7]

Preachers Son's latest release came in August 2014 with the studio album 10 Stories Tall recorded in Los Angeles, finished and produced by Warren Huart with earlier production work on several tracks by Marc Urselli.[8]
