| JUPE with model Aoife Hogan |
Yes I got the chance to hang out with up and coming Dublin band JUPE this week on the making of their debut music video 'Get Up'.
I can tell you right now that these guys are going to storm the Irish music charts, with their brand new single already getting airplay, a funky style and up beat sound, these guys are definitely the one's to watch.
Standing on the roof-top of The Clarence hotel, the foursome looked so passionate about their music and making it to the top, but they did have a mess about too (rock n roll lifestyle and all that).
Lying on the bed with Dublin model Aoife Hogan, Lead singer Tim Night (26), Lead guitarist Phil Costello (25), Drummer Brendon Reenie (26) and bassist Jonesy (23) posed for a Rolling Stone type cover.

So what are they about? Well Tim tells me that they have no Irish influences at all, and aren't aiming to be the new Script or Snow Patrol, instead their inspirations lie with US bands Maroon 5, and musician John Mayer:
"We actually have no influences in Ireland or the UK, they are all in America." Tim laughed.
And the boys are hoping to break America with their debut single and music video. Lead singer Tim says that they have hired a Grammy award-winning music producer in LA to help them launch their career:
"We've been together about two years and last year we all got together and decided we had to go for it. At this stage we have each put thousands of euro into this of our own money. But right now Bob Cuteralla is over in America pitching our CD to record labels and TV shows. We really hope to get TV placements."
"We used our own money from savings and working. Now we are getting paid for gigs so it's great. But of course we want to break America."
And if Bob's list of clients are anything to go by, these guys should have no problem breaking into the US music charts. He has worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Frank Sanatra and Sting.
Hanging out with the guys in The Clarence, drinking beers, playing the guitar and chatting with their video crew it's clear that JUPE have put all their time and effort into making a name for themselves and getting into the charts.
If you want to see them for yourself, the guys will be celebrating the launch of their single 'Get Up' plus their new music video on September 17th at The Academy.
Tickets are flying out the door so make sure to get onto Ticketmaster and book yours.
