biography
Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice launched his music career in the late-'90s with the hard-hitting indie rock outfit Juniper. The group signed to Polygram in 1997 and released two singles, "The World Is Dead" and "Weathermen," which did moderately well on Irish radio, but when it came time to record a full-length album, contractual rules from the label prevented Juniper from doing so, and Rice split. After a brief respite in Europe, Rice returned to Dublin to focus on music once again, scrounging up enough money to record a demo. He sent it to producer/film composer David Arnold (Björk, Nina Persson, Paul Oakenfold), and luckily for him, Arnold loved it and set Rice up in his very own mobile studio to make a record. His first single, "The Blower's Daughter," was an instant Top 20 hit when it appeared in fall 2001. Shared gigs with McAlmont & Butler and folkie Kathryn Williams followed in summer 2002 when Rice released O in the U.K. The album hit the States in 2003, which earned the Irishman a dedicated group of American fans in addition to his European ones, and after satiating all of them with a collection of B-sides in 2005, Rice released his sophomore record, 9. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Live recordings in Iceland

- I just attended a live recording with Damien Rice in a secret location in Iceland. I really like one song that I think may be called "Am I the greatest bastard you ever met". Also he had the audience of 90 people sing a chorus in one song that goes like "She goes back to her man, back to her man, back to, back to her man.". Damien is most certainly not the greatest bastard I ever met, in fact he is so sincere and honest in all his appearance that one simply as to admire his openness, honesty and super sincere attitute towards people, the environment and live. A great artist. I am really looking forward to the new record when it comes out (and I don't know when that is - wish I knew).

- Anybody see him at ACL in 2007? Wow, that was a much darker / angrier side of the usually mellow Damien Rice.
