Aslan are highly regarded as one of the hardest working bands in Ireland, performing weekly throughtout the country, and with a string of number 1 singles and albums to their name.
Aslan emerged from the working class areas of Dublin's north side, in the mid 1980s. In 1988 they recorded their debut album 'Feel No Shame' which shot straight in to the No.1 spot of the Irish charts and remained there for weeks. Within a couple of months it was certified Gold. Then in August 1988, just as the option for their 2nd album had been picked up, Aslan infamously imploded, torn apart by overindulgence of all kinds.
Five years later they gigged together playing what was supposed to be a one off charity gig in Finglas; the spark was re-ignited and Aslan landed a new record deal with BMG. The first fruit of the deal, their single "Crazy World", entered the charts at No. 4 and stayed in the charts for 3 months, becoming one of the most played songs on Irish Radio for the year. "Crazy World" also won the "Single of The Year" in 1993's Hot Press Awards. A few months later the follow-up single "Where's The Sun" reached No.3 on the chart.
In September 2001, the band's studio album, "Waiting For This Madness To End" went straight into the Irish Album charts at number 1, out selling the number 2 album four times over. 2005 saw a successful sold out show in the Point Depot marking Aslan's Platinum Collection CD release.
In 2007 the band released the first single "Here Comes The Sun" from their album "For Some Strange Reason" entering the Irish Singles Charts at No. 5, their second single "Jealous Little Thing" was destined to rival the first.
2012, an exciting year for the band, marking their 30 years together. With a new studio album "Nudie Books & Frenchies" and the first single "Too Late For Hallelujah" charting in Ireland, Aslan confirm a stadium concert on Sat 30th June in Tallaght, with support from Kaiser Chiefs and Royseven.
