Paris, summer 2005. "Let's write a pop song." Surviving on a diet of John Hughes, John Waters and David Lynch movies, it's in their tiny Parisian apartment that Jez and Caz perfected the recipe for their dirty-minded angular-electro-pop-rock. Accompanied by Chaz and Toz, they chose a moniker in fitting with their green and orange attire: Molloy was thus born.

London, summer 2007. Many pop songs later, the now Shoreditch-based Molloy released their first single, Tracy (Way Out Records), to critical acclaim and a digital mini album, This Is Fucking Brilliant (Kitty-Yo) which was Steve Lamacq's album of the week on Radio 1. They have also been supported and played by radio djs Alex Zane and Cheeky Pete (XFM), Tom Robinson (BBC6) and trendy Durr dj Jonjo.

They've toured all over London in their green and orange molloymobile and their bespoke live performance – live meaning no sequencers or backing tracks! - with toys, telephone, megaphone and all analogue equipment, earned them the 2008 INDY Award for "Best New Wave/Progressive Act" after being nominated by XFM-backed promoters Broccoli Music. They were also one of the few bands selected to perform at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival on the XFM/PRS stage.

Europe's taking an interest too after some great gigs in Germany and a very successful mini tour in France, where they also received high profile press and national radio play.

Molloy have now released their new 4 track EP, Thursday Electric, on upcoming Parisian label Silverstation Records, which has already received some awesome reviews and national radio play.

They have just returned from playing two successful showcases at Canadian Music Week 2009 in Toronto, which included a set at the legendary El Mocambo and a radio session on CIUT!
