Friends of mine,

hope life is being good to you.

It’s great to be able to share the news that my debut, ‘Steafán Hanvey and the Honeymoon Junkies‘, released in Finland in 2005 & Ireland in 2006 got its official US release yesterday. The lead single, ‘Desperation [Loving You]‘ has been added to Fuse On Demand, a free Video on Demand service in the USA, that is part of Fuse Music Network and Madison Square Garden Media. Somewhat Ironically, the video was made up in Helsinki in 2007, one year after I was done promoting the album in Ireland. It’s nice to see it happen in the ‘right’ order finally.

There is a new album finished and ready to go. I’m currently putting together the release plan but I expect to be able to share it with you in and around late spring of 2012. The delay was in part due to the wonderful opportunity mentioned above, of having the video premiered on Fuse. As I have been touring the States a lot in recent years, I thought I’d use it as an opportunity to introduce myself and my music to a wider US audience in the run up to the US release of ‘Nuclear Family‘ in 2012. Delighted to have had French songwriter Bertrand Belin lend himself to the record. Also in attendance were Ken & Carl of Relish, and Liam O’Maonlai to name a few.

Keep warm and dry.

Steafán

The Lobes interview with Faith Whitfield

A session-interview with the host of ‘The Sound Of You & Me’ (BFN Networks) back in April.
These tapes were loster than lost. They were out there, somewhere. But, alas, they were stumbled upon and knocked into shape.
Enjoy it, I did.

‘Secrets & Lies’ is the first music video clip to be taken from my forthcoming album ‘Nuclear Family’. It was directed and edited by Austria’s Karin Hammer and shot on location in Co.Down and Dublin in the summer of 2010. I’m looking forward to sharing it.

Now for some good news:
From the nice folk at Sao Paulo International Short film Festival:
Dear Karin (film’s director/editor), out of 1700 films received, your film “Secrets and Lies ” has been selected for the kinolounge special program of the 22nd Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival to take place from August 25th to September 2nd, 2011.”

Thanks good folk at Sao Paulo’s International Short Film Festival. Delighted you like our movie. Thanks for choosing it!

Karin and Steafán.
