The band itself describes its style as " The Who without the deafness. Matchbox Twenty without the cross over-cheddar. Counting Crows without the Bar band factor. Wilco with hope. Radiohead without the computerized sorrow and bleeps and bloops. The Police without the 80s. Maroon 5 without Stevie Wonder ." Their name is derived from the historic New York political organization Tammany Hall . Although they do not classify themselves as a Celtic Music group, the band has a strong Irish American identity and musical feel. Tammany Hall NYC formed in 1997, and soon began playing in local New York clubs. The group gained a strong local following, releasing their first album, ''Getawayland'' (actually spelled ''G e t a w a y l a n d'') in 1999 under the independent label ''Glass Records''. The following year they released ''Back In The Bottle'', an acoustic album that had more of a folk music influence than its predecessor. The use of the song "Always on Sunday" as the theme for ''Sex and the City'''s 2002 season and "Wait for You" (a remix of "Wait for Jane") on an HBO advertisement was laregely responsible for the album's success. Also, the song "Cindy" has been used on the NBC show ''Scrubs''. ''Buddy'', their third album, was released in February 2003, and saw them returning to the louder mix of punk and alternative rock that had characterized their debut. The song "To the Woman," from this album, was featured on ''Scrubs'' on January 17, 2006. Also in 2003, the soundtrack to ''Eat This New York'' was released, which showed a wide range of Latin and jazz influences. In December 2003 Tammany Hall NYC performed live for the Howard Dean fundraiser at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, where Dean greeted them personally. In July 2005, the band released ''Marathon'', which is currently their latest release. There is speculation about a future release of the soundtrack of ''Into The Fire'', but neither the release date nor the possibility of a release itself is known. In addition to his work with Tammany Hall NYC, Stephen O'Reilly has been involved in solo projects and has acted in several films. Tammany Hall NYC Official Site |
