Phil and Aidan had worked together in various bands and had been working together on songs whilst on the lookout for a new bass player and Drummer. Following the break up of a local band Gengus, Dean joined the two lads and they began putting together songs and looking for a bass player Following a conversation at Oxegen between Dean and Rob, Rob who had previously played in a number of bands as a guitarist decided to switch to playing Bass and make the full line up for The Kartels The Band started off playing venues around Dublin such as The Hub and Eamonn Dorans before deciding to play local gigs to get money to fund recording sessions. They recorded there first song ( Until Tomorrow ) in Orion Studios in Blessington and started to play regular gigs around local venues, building up a following and getting a name for themselves The band decided to do there second recording ( The Same Old Feeling ) in K9 studios in Deansgrange. The band enjoyed working in the studio and with the Engineer so they decided to record there next two songs ( Fade Away ) and ( Dont Let Them Get You Down ) The Kartels have continued to gig regularly around venues in Dublin and will be back in the studio soon to record more songs.
