Electro-pop duo Le Boom, Christy Leech and Aimie Mallon, are a band that I was so impressed with in the last year or so, that I’m now involved with them in a management capacity. It made sense for me, I loved their music and wanted to help beyond merely featuring their track on the site.
So, with the business out of the way, here’s a first listen to the band’s new single ‘Coma’, their first since November’s ‘Don’t Need It Now’, dropping this week ahead of their sold out show in the Button Factory on Saturday night with support from Cinema and Lumo DJs.
‘Coma’ is one of those live favourites from the band’s set and drops ahead of upcoming appearances at The Great Escape, Body&Soul and more Irish dates as listed below.
