The Flea Market Poets are an eclectic American rock band with roots in America, Ireland, Germany and the U.K The band consists of Jason Serious on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards, Christian Chapman on drums, Hazel X on bass, Brian Reno on guitars and synths, Grainne McMenamin on backing vocals. The Poets play a melodic brand of rock occasionally crossing over into Punk and Americana. Think: Radiohead jamming with Wilco down the pub, Eddie Vedder bumping into Beck at the corner store, the Ramones in a knitting circle with Neil Young (he does knit, we are assured). Known for versatility and intuitive songwriting, the band can capture and engage diverse audiences, in rock clubs and festivals as well as in more intimate unplugged settings. The Poets play a melodic brand of rock occasionally crossing over into Punk and Americana. Their sound is often compared to bands like the Strokes, Snow Patrol and Wilco, but the Flea Market Poets are known best for powerful songs that support varied interpretations over time. Their music caters to an eclectic palate.In 2007 the band caught the attention of Brit Award winning producer Pete Briquette (Bob Geldof, the Frames, Tricky) who then went on to produce their first single “Captain Nate”. Briquette in turn introduced Bob Geldof to the Poets and their music and he is now regarded as one of the band’s most high-profile fans.
