Montauk Hotel are a new band with four members (Claudia, Shell, Aoife and Karima) making bright throwback guitar music.
They’ve played a few gigs over the last few months in Dublin and ‘Black Dress’ is the band’s first single from their debut self-titled EP out March 10th.
Dripping in metallic guitar vibes and early ’80s indie pop, ‘Black Dress’ is a charming melodic opening gambit.
Montauk Hotel play The Last Mixed Tape’s 3rd birthday alongside Slow Riot and Beach at The Sound House on February 2nd, as well as a launch gig to celebrate the release of their eponymous E.P. in Whelan’s on March 10th.
