Late2005 and only months after forming, SENECA won the Limerick heat of the Jack Daniels Hardest Working Band competition. They then won the 2006 University of Limerick ~ Battle of the Bands competition. 2007 SENECA supported: Republic of Loose, Director, Fred, The Hitchers and The Frank and Walters. The band also had one of their songs ('So Beautiful') selected for the Ceol '07 album which was launched in March and includes songs from Bell x1, The Corrs, Kila, Paddy Casey and many more popular Irish acts. Aside from all this Seneca have been busy touring around Ireland, headlining in popular venues such as Crawdaddy; Cyprus Avenue; Roisin Dubh; Dolan's and Auntie Annies. The end of 2007, Seneca's debut single SMILE entered the Irish Charts in its first week at 33 climbing to 27. 2008 saw Seneca continue touring and also add the finishing touches to their debut Album Sweeter Than Burbon. In Feb they played the very excellent MURPHYS LIVE event @ Dolans Warehouse. Their second single CLARITY, was released that June, and went straight in at 19 in the Irish charts. (thats Top 20 to you sir, lol :) Seneca's debut album was released soon-after through online distribution and recieved favourable reviews from both Irish and international music press. Jackie Hayden of Hotpress gave some much appreciated kudos to the band by making them his Pick of the Fortnight in Hotpress magazine Oct. saw the band open for major Irish acts Republic of Loose and Kila. During the year two of Senecas tunes (The Outside and Empty Seat), were featured on Setanta Sports Irish ladies Soccer documentary and also on RTE's Capital D program. Seneca were signed to US based 'In-Outdoor' managment/promotions company with a US tour which kicked off in Nov 2008 taking in the west coast and mid west area and saw the band playing cities througout California then onto Denver, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Cleveland-Ohio. One of the highlights of the tour was being joined on stage by none other than Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic and former Talking Heads Keyboardist). Bernie and his band Woo Warriors were headlining the Red Fox in Eureka/California that night and he offered to play keys over some of the Seneca set. The occasion was so well recieved that Bernie in turn invited Seneca guitarist Brendan onstage to jam with the Woo Warriors during their own set, putting the icing on the cake for such an eventful night. The end of 2008 saw 'Sweeter Than Burbon' nominated for best Album of the Year by Clare People Interactive-Irish Music Awards and also nominated for the best new comers award in the Irish Mid-West Media Awards.
