Legendary Dublin band The Pale have launched an App to coincide with the release of their new album ‘I Woke Up And I Was Gone’.  The App takes the form of a tour of Dublin, which sees the band taking in some of the more interesting, innovative and inspirational sights the city has to offer. Along the way they perform acoustic versions songs from the album at each location, chat to the patrons of the various businesses and initiatives they visit and give their own unique insight into a lesser spotted side of Dublin.

According to Matthew Devereux, lead singer with the band, ‘The Pale App is a journey using the vehicle of twelve new songs and two musicians with one day to shoot a 2011 document of Dublin that covers twelve handpicked locations in the Centre of Dublin, Some new, Some old, All of them interesting.’

Additional functionality will be added to the album once the album is launched allowing users who visit the locations to ‘check in’ and download the studio version of that location’s song when they visit.

‘Our early singles ‘Butterfly’ and ‘Dog With No Tail’ were accompanied with maps of Dublin’ says Devereux. ‘We wanted to update that concept with new technology to make it more interactive.  We’ve had a brilliant time making this, meeting some great people and discovering some hidden gems along the way,’

The videos were filmed by Darragh Byrne and shot over the course of a single day in September.

The application also contains a comprehensive history of the band, a full discography, and videography with links to their videos The App will be continuously updated with tour dates and new release information.

The App has already been downloaded as far afield as China, America and Japan. I Woke Up And I Was Gone is available now in the Apple App store. An Android version will be ready in the near future.
