Presenter & recording artist, Dez RyanI'm Dez Ryan, Presenter and originator of the show along with my partners Chris Gubisch and our band mates in SURPLUS MUSIC.
The show started as an underground jam session in California and finally became a new television series here in Ireland with our production partners at Lotus Media.
And thanks to our sponsor Sony Ericsson and our broadcast partner RTE Two we are ready to launch Season One.
Eight hot tipped independent bands will tell their true stories and write an original song in front of the cameras in 12 hours or less every week!
At the end of the episodes it is up to you to decide who moves ahead on the show. Send a text vote for your favourite track and use the code returned to download the track you voted for here.
The artist/track to receive the most text votes each week will move ahead until someone becomes the Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year. Remember, you can only vote ONCE for each track. Don't vote more than once as multiple votes won't count but you will be charged. See www.rte.ie/tv/therawsessions for full details.
On July 15th, The Infomatics will be officially awarded with the first ever Raw Sessions, Sony Ericsson Artist of the Year award, at The Button Factory in Dublin.
