The Snipe

Depends on where its for, if its for inside with ye - then I can't recommend PlanB Enough! If Memory Serves are a handy upcomming band. Secret Police too! (Although, if they are still around I'm not too sure, I'll try find out!)

Are they any good bands outside of the usual boring jingly jangly guitar bands around at the moment in the Limerick area. Any bands who you would go and see live that would blow you away in terms of originality and creativity for example. I've seen loads of these new up and coming bands and to be honest none of them have impressed me. Sorry just saying!!

At the moment I would say the Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters are the pick of the bunch, after that I think Windings are a good act. The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra are a very good band but it all really depends on what you're into.

Oh, and don't forget about The Rubberbandits.

The vast majority of local bands in somewhere as small as Limerick will sound somewhat generic, but that is not to say that a hell of a lot of them are not excellent live. Really original and really creative bands only come around once in a blue moon in small cities like Limerick to be honest (and it could be argued that such bands are a rarity full stop regardless of where you go) so enjoying the best of what is available is the best way to go imho.

I think the age of the listener comes into play a lot in terms of what sounds original or creative as well. A younger person may go to see a local band and be blown away by them as the band sound fresh and new to that listener based upon what the listener has heard so far in their life, whereas the same band might sound like a cover band to someone who has been listening to music twenty years longer than the first listener.

Walter Mitty and the Realists impressed me when I saw them in 2010. Might just be a little bit too indie for some people's tastes.

They are very very generic in their sound, but still very good at what they do. They do have a great band name though.

Could always try to claim Aphex Twin. He was born in Limerick after all.

Walter Mitty are no more (as far as I know...?)

Tony Day, what would you be into?

Is it for a pub gig OP?

Hermitage Green seen to be getting tons of gigs around town so they must be good
