Boys Of Summer - Future Ancients

Boys of Summer is a Dublin based synthesizer trio made up of Paul G. Smyth (The Jimmy Cake), Ivan Pawle (Sea Dog) and Andrew Fogarty (Toymonger, Weil Rats) on the Munitions Family label.

Originally formed in Limerick in 2004 by Pawle and Fogarty, the duo performed sporadically for a number of years, focusing mostly on their participation other projects - Sea Dog, Toymonger, United Bible Studies and various other projects.  In 2008 the relaunched Boys of Summer were joined by Paul G Smyth (Jimmy Cake) and have continued to perform with international artists such as Cluster, Grouper, John Weise, Pocahaunted, Sun Araw, Lucky Dragons and Gnod;  as well as local acts Sunken Foal, Cian Nugent, Children Under Hoof and Slomatics and many others, in galleries, bars, sheds and kitchens around Ireland.

To date the group has released three albums on the Dublin-based Munitions Family label; 'V' (2008), 'Pharaoh' (2009) and 'Future Ancients' (2010).
