Liner notes

How the Band Got Together

Every great act has an origin story. This one has floor burns.

The couple at the officials' table in Basketball Ireland kit
early gigs · the Ireland residency

Track 01. Formed in a sports hall

Before the arenas (Adare has a ballroom, that counts), they were two acts on the same circuit: she fronting the Huskies, he fronting the Eagles. Same venues, same late nights, same terrible vending machines. A supergroup was inevitable.

Track 02. The year they went double platinum

2026: both acts charted. Two National Cups, one house. The only duo in the country arguing over shelf space for silverware. Critics called it "sickening, in fairness". The critics were their friends.

exhibit: disco made them do it

Track 03. The proposal (unreleased)

Recorded in secret. One question, one yes, zero rehearsals. The full track drops when the artist approves the mix; until then, the neon above is the only official statement.
