Montauk Hotel are an indie-pop act based in Dublin. Taking influence from the glimmer of early 80s indie-pop, Montauk Hotel fuse strong melodies, glistening guitars and punchy beats to create their own shimmering sound.
Formed late 2016, Montauk Hotel are made up of Claudia Verdecchia (vocals), Shell Dooley (guitars), Aoife Hester (bass) and Karima Dillon-El Toukhy (drums).
Montauk Hotel have made an impressive impact on the Dublin live music scene since 2016 with headline shows including Whelans, The Workman’s Club, The Sound House, The Bowery, Bello Bar, The Harbour Bar and Sin E, as well as supporting international acts such as Goat Girl, PINS and Beauty Sleep. They have appeared at festivals such as Vantastival, Sunflower Festival, Whelans Ones To Watch and will be performing at Groove Festival and Sunflower Festival in 2018.
The band released their self-titled E.P. in March 2017 with a sold out show in Whelans. Their single ‘Sense of Place’ was released in August 2017 to critical acclaim. Their latest single, ‘Hands’ was released in March 2018 with a fantastic response from Nialler9, RTE, 2fm, The Thin Air, The Last Mixed Tape and BBC Radio.
