Heliopause are a U.K. band based in Belfast and Brighton, led by filmmaker Richard Davis.[1] The band is known for performing in unusual locations such as May Street church,[2] the Ulster Hall,[3] the Palm House at Botanic Gardens,[4] the dome over Belfast's Victoria Square shopping centre,[5] at the Willowstone music festival[6] and the Hammer gallery in Berlin.[7]
They released their debut EP Dark Matter on Furious Tradesmen in May 2008, two months after the exquisite instrumental band from which they took their name released their self-titled debut EP Heliopause on Rampapo records.[8] Guitarist Michael Kinloch departed after the EP's release to concentrate on playing bass in Not Squares. Chris McCorry, formerly of Cutaways joined in late 2008 and the trio released a handmade single, Moment of Recognition[9][10] in 2009. Their début album "Walk Into the Sea" was recorded at Belfast's Start Together studio in summer 2009,[11] and released on 1 October 2010.
