About Itchy Trigger Finger

Itchy Trigger Finger Described as a “powerhouse for progressive metal music”, Itchy Trigger Finger are Jimmy Trigger (Vocals / Guitar), Robbie Dunne (Guitar), Pam Lennon (Bass) and Kev Connolly (Drums)

From Kilkenny city, Itchy Trigger Finger first made their mark on the Kilkenny music scene in 2003, capturing the county’s Battle Of The Bands title. In Dublin 2005 they defeated 30 other bands for the ignition showcase title in temple bar music center and carlow in 2007 taking first place runner up in C.I.T battle of the bands.

Anchored by front man Jimmy Trigger, ITF have spend the years since extensively touring the country and building up a steady following of loyal fans throughout Ireland’s metal music circles.

Over time, the band has cultured a mature and distinct sound for themselves. Their music encompasses odd time signatures, is solidly structured on technically energetic percussion, groovy sensual bass, soulful guitar solos and heavy riffs, all tied together with power anthem vocals – a melting pot combination that works well in both the studio and live environments.

“Back-breaking, energetic, powerful and personally inspiring” are how some critics view the band’s live performances.

2007 saw the release of the band’s much anticipated debut EP ‘The Wrong Side Of Misery’. Launched in July, the five-track EP is testament to the road the band have traveled over the past five years. Tracks like ‘Perfect Reality’ and ‘Measure Of A Man’ have rapidly become hits with the group’s hardcore fans and admirers alike. .

Driven by raw, emotional honesty and an unquenchable passion for spreading a positive message through their music, the band are currently writing, rehearsing and demo tracking new material in advance of their next studio recording.

Notes Itchy Trigger Finger are the only metal act in Kilkenny to have received arts funding for two years in succession, (Arts Act Grant 2006, 2007). Itchy Trigger Finger is the only band in their genre (within Ireland) endorsed by leading guitar manufacturer, Cort.

WE ARE SO FUCKN BACK BABEY: New drummer n junk
WE ARE SO BACK: NEW DRUMMER

Ok sports fans, or more precisely ITF fans, you heard it here first … WE ARE FUCKING BACK BABEY.

As of 2 weeks ago we were blessed with the greatest gift ITF has ever got in the form of Kev Connelly aka Big Kev, already regarded as the best drummer ITF has ever had, we are proud to say he is officially the new stickman for us and we are more excited than ever. You thought you’ve seen us at our best??? In reality you haven’t seen nothing yet.

The last couple of months have been very uncertain for us but for whatever reason its all coming together now. We are keeping our heads down and rehearsing like crazy, writing and revamping old songs giving them new life. With the entire back catalogue already finished we are currently writing new ITF tracks and if I do say so myself, its never been so much fun and easy to do with everyone in their comfort zones, the creative juice of ITF are flowing like never before.

The future, hmm, the future you say? Well I tell you one thing, the future is finally looking bright, always believing and keeping that positive mindset that ITF so strongly enforces in everything we do is finally paying off. The times ahead are going to be hard but fun as fuck, with new songs, new attitude, recording and touring, getting involved with up and coming promotion companies, working with people that actually understand ITF’s philosophy , no more bullshit, straight talking and fast walking … BRING IT THE FUCK ON.

There will be more news coming soon, so stay tuned … Same ITF time, Same ITF channel

KEEP IT POSITIVE
