Alphastates
Alphastates were an Irish electro band from Dublin. The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Catherine Dowling, guitarist Gerry Horan, bass guitarist Stevie Kavanagh and drummer Graham Gilligan. Former member and drummer Mike O'Dowd departed in 2008.
Alphastates released one extended play called ''Good Stuff'' (2003) and two albums: ''Made From Sand'' (2004) and ''Human Nature'' (2009). ''Human Nature'' was rerecorded before its release after the band expressed their unhappiness with the original record. Lead single "Champagne Glass" was a dance hit in New York. During their existence they performed in the Phoenix Park and on ''Other Voices'', as well as at music festivals such as Oxegen, Electric Picnic, Indie-pendence and the IMRO Showcase Tour.
Alphastates remained active until 2010 before being "pulled in different directions".
