The Debut Album “Moth Complex” Produced By G. Owens Dropped In January 2012 – With “You Don’t Know” From The Album Available For Full Band Gameplay On Rock Band Network. “The Songs On The Album Are The Stories Of My Life ” Explains Aoife. “Some Are My Stories Of Growing Up Of Overcoming Adversity – Be They About My Home Situation Or Overcoming Self-Doubt And A Lack Of Confidence. Others Are My Stories About Relationships And Love. I Suppose They Are All About Finding My Way And Finding My Own Strength And Learning How To Be Happy In Life.” The Past Few Years Have Been A Whirlwind Of Hard Work Hustle And Accomplishment For Moth Complex. 2008 Saw The Release Of The Moth Complex EP “Error 256” To Widespread Critical Acclaim. This Was Closely Followed By The Music Video For “Tied Up In Knots” Which Generated International TV Radio And Press Exposure.

Now Based In The US Aoife Has Toured Moth Complex Extensively Across The States And Played Shows At The Infamous Viper Room And The Roxy On LA’s Legendary Sunset Strip…. “Good Gritty Girl Rawk… Aoife’s Total Commitment To Each Moment Is What Made The Moth Complex Show Sparkle.” – Kristen Lowman LA Examiner.Com “Moth Complex With Tiny Lead Singer Aoife O’Leary Shares A Characteristic Most Female Fronted Rock Bands Seems To Possess These May Be Petite Chicks But They Can Kick Your Ass With Their Set Of Windpipes.” – Audrey Kay Slamomaha.Com “I Was Born And Brought Up In Dublin ” Aoife Says. “My Family Was Really Musical And We Had A Selection Of Instruments And Related Stuff Around The Place – Drums Guitars Amps Piano Cello Etc. We Definitely Had The Noisiest House On The Street! Still I Was Quite Shy Growing Up. I Felt On The Outside Of Life And Didn’t Have The Confidence To Do The Very Thing I Most Wanted To – Which Was Sing.” “I Found My Home In Rock – In My Favourite Bands And In My Favourite Songs. These Songs Were Like Friends To Me At That Time – Which Was A Pretty Tough Time For Me – And I Found Peace In Them. I Loved Rage Against The Machine Metallica… Eventually I Came To Start Singing Because My Brother Volunteered Me As A Singer For A Project He Was Drumming In At The Time – And I’ve Never Looked Back.” During The Past Couple Of Years Moth Complex Has Shared The Stage With Powerhouse Bands Such As 30 Seconds To Mars And Lacuna Coil And Also Secured Partnerships With Jagermeister Music Amp Energy And Gibson/Kramer Guitars Amongst Others. “I Feel So Lucky ” Aoife Says. “I Have The Opportunity To Create Amazing Songs I’ve Made A CD I Am So Proud Of And A Second One To Come This Year I Have Had The Chance To Travel And Tour To Work With Wonderful Musicians And Play With Great Bands To Make Videos – And I Still Feel At The Very Beginning Of It All. I’m Crazy Passionate About Music And I’m Crazy Passionate About The Music I Make.” “People Often Ask Me About Being A Female In Rock ” She Adds ”especially When Playing In A Venue Where I’m One Of 10 Or 20 Girls In Total In The Place And It’s An Otherwise Male Environment. I Have Never For A Second Felt Intimidated. I Love And Feel And Breathe This Music Truly And Thoroughly And This Is Where I Belong.“ “I Definitely Grew Up Listening To And Loving Men In Rock But Now I Am Such A Huge Fan Of Women In Rock Too – Lacey Sturm In Flyleaf Or Amy Lee In Evanescence Or Lzzy Hale In Halestorm Or Cristina Scabbia In Lacuna Coil. They’re Amazing. Totally Kick-Ass. I’m All For More Women In Rock Who Are Strong And Passionate And Driven. I Think The World In General Can Do With More Women Like That!” To Date Moth Complex Songs Have Featured On Ultimate Fighting Championships UFC On Spike TV And 2013 Will See Moth Complex Songs Featured In The Upcoming Horror Feature Film “Nightmare Box”. “My Very Very Favourite Thing Though ” Aoife Says “ Is When People Love The Songs. My Dream For Moth Complex Is That It Reaches The Maximum Amount Of People Who Love And Appreciate The Music And The Message – That You Don’t Have To Be Defined By Your Circumstances That You Can Define Yourself. I Dream For These Songs To Be Featured In Movies On Video Games On TV – Everywhere People Can Have Access To Them And Where People Who Love Them Can Play Them – And LOUD.” “I Think That So Many People Feel Lost Feel Like The Proverbial Black Sheep But The Irony Is That They Are Not Alone. Funnily Enough The Writing Of These Songs And This Album Really Helped Me To Release Those Feelings And States Of Mind So That Now I’m A Happy Confident Person And I Love My Life. Isn’t It Funny How Life Can Work Out?” Aoife Is Currently Working On The Second Moth Complex Album With G. Owens And On Upcoming Shows In 2013.
