Heathers are twin sisters Ellie and Louise Macnamara from Dublin. 2012 promises to be a big year for the girls, having just finished recording their second album with White Lies’ producer Max Dingel and recently signing a deal with Universal Music Publishing UK. Their debut album ‘Here, Not There‘ garnered widespread acclaim internationally amongst both fans and media alike for its unique melodic hooks and extraordinary vocals. The album achieved Gold sales status in Ireland and received a further boost when they had one of their songs placed on a major Discover Ireland ad campaign. The track in question was called the “soundtrack to the Irish summer” by one of Ireland’s best known radio presenters. The success of that debut album resulted in two summer length tours in the USA, which developed into further invites to perform at CMJ festival in New York, Canadian Music Week in Toronto, as well as European festivals such as Eurosonic, The Great Escape, Camden Crawl, Oxygen and Belsonic. Most recently they played in London’s Garage as part of HMV Next Big Thing. Heathers have also toured with people as diverse as Paolo Nutini, Kimya Dawson, The Stranglers and are gearing up for their next run of UK shows
