Releases

Talulah Does The Hula released their first single in June 2009, a double A-side with the tracks "Bad Boyfriend" and "Those Girls." Jim Carroll of the Irish Times reviewed the single with

"Sugar-sweet harmonies which soar up, up and away? Check. Swinging, gum-chewing, swaggering suaveness to knock your pop socks off? Check. Sunny-side-up melodies ripped, recycled and respun from beneath the armpits of giants such as The Shangri Las and The Ramones? That would be a darn tooting large check too."

The single was chosen as "Single of the Fortnight" by Hot Press Magazine and the video for "Bad Boyfriend" was nominated in the "Best Newcomer" category at the Irish Music TV Video Awards in November 2009.

The band's second single, another double A-side with the tracks "Don't Panic", "Real Friends" and a remix of "Bad Boyfriend", was released on the 7th of May 2010. The video for "Don't Panic" was nominated in the "Best Styled Video" category at the Irish Music TV Video Awards in November 2010, where the band also performed live.

In 2010 the band had music and appeared on several Irish Television programs. In February 2010 they performed a cover of "Da Doo Ron Ron" on the RTE Two program, Podge and Rodge and they also had recurring live performances on RTE Two program, The Rumour Room. In September 2010 they performed "Don't Panic" on long-running Irish chat program, "The Late Late Show". In October 2010 their song "Those Girls" was selected as the theme tune for the RTE program, "Fade Street".
