    Many of ye heard them?
    They were in Connoly's of Leap this saturday night (bout 100 yards from me house smile.gif) And they were absolutely fantastic. Something of a cross between REM and Nirvana. The main singer is ****ing cool. On saturday he played: base guitar, acoustic, electric, one of those mini guuitar things, trumpet, dijeridoo (spelling?), drums, those rattle things?, mouth organ, and did really cool sound effects kinda like that guy outta police academy.
    One seriously talented bans here. They are gonna be big in a few years. I hope.
    Got a signed CD for me birthday too smile.gif

    I remember seeing them on 2TV a few times - we're talking 3, 4 years ago when I first saw 'em. Pretty cool. I don't own any of their albus and stuff though frown.gif



    All the best,

    i remember seeing these muppets at a college gig in ucg a few years ago. then i saw them again last year in the TBMC. i am still having nightmares.
    if you are into la la la indie pop then great but the lead singer is the most annoying person i have ever seen on stage and that includes liam gallagher.

    I saw them at connolly's once - bluddy good live, and heard their EP (?) once, some good stuff. they used to be on 2tv/the beatbox, years ago - the house was burning down and stuff

    I saw them years ago in the underground two nights in a row by accident. They played the same set and used the exact same comments in and between songs which is a crime. They are a typical irish band trying latching on 5 years too late to what they think is trendy in the hope of having a hit.

    I saw them last year live too, and the end of the summer. They have loadsa new songs and were totally different. That said I suppose they are doomed to remain a small gig band. Where they are best at I might add.
