The necessity for the name came when the first demo ‘Zeby To Bylo Spoko’ was recorded in Summer 2007. at that time it was a three piece band – Bogus (Poland) on guitar, Marka (Lithuania) on Cajon and Vaclav (Czech Republic) on mandolin. The name was chosen partly as a joke, referring to Vaclav who always said he feels like a mute fish in Ireland because he couldn’t speak any English. After considerable success busking in Galway arts festival the band took a one year break because Bogus needed to go back to Poland to finish his degree. On summer 2008 the guys met again in Dublin to shake Galway arts festival once more. Right after the new year the bass player Tomas (Lithuania) joined and only a few months later Vaclav left the band, and Mutefish was on pause again. The trio started a surf music side project (the Braconniers) and carried on under this flag till June when drummer Peter (Ukraine) and flute player Daithi (Ireland) joined and mutefish were revived. In the summer OF 2009 Mutefish recorded another demo ‘Muteation’ which gets them from the streets to the pub scene of Dublin and the band started to appear in Irish music festivals. May 2010 Mutefish lock themselves in Temple lane studio to record a new album, ‘On Draught’ but due to several reasons it’s release is delayed till November. the album launch is being held to the full house in prestigious Dublin venue Button Factory as a part of ‘where the Magic Happens’ event. Mutefish are: Bogus – guitar/mandolin, Marka – cajon/guitar, Daithi – flute/tin whistle, Tomas – bass, Peter – drumshttp://www.mercantilehotel.ie/gig/mutefishevery-tuesday-1030pm-8/
