History
The band formed in Camden, London. Daniel Connolly found an advert on a musicians directory for a singer looking for a band. As a result, he asked Niall Rowan to join him and his brother Ryan for a jamming session. After a few months of rehearsing, writing songs and finding their sound, Daniel Connolly asked former colleague Michael Hanrahan to join the band on bass.
In 2014 Ryan Connolly departed Sisteray and was replaced on drums by Marco Biagini.
The band released their debut single No Escape in June 2015, which was recorded and produced at Bark Studios, London by Brian O'Shaunessey (Primal Scream).
The band have confirmed they will be recording with Palma Violets and The Vaccines producer Rory Attwell in August 2015. Their new single, Double A-side A Wise Man Said / Back to Yours was released on 12 February 2016, having already gained radio airplay from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Amazing Radio and being named This Feeling's Track of the Day in January 2016.
Sisteray have played a string of UK dates in 2016, including Isle of Wight Festival and Leeds Festival.
The band run a regular club night called Welcome to the Monkey House at various venues in London. The First night was a sold out show at The Black Heart, Camden on 3 December.
