just while i was posting in the other thread...'up yours pay to play'
i was thinking...its a real pity bout ppl not going to gigs and supporting new bands and ****

so

what i'm asking is what new bands are you really glad you've heard or really glad you've gone to see stuff like that... basically i've decided over the last few weeks that i'm gonna go to as many gigs as i can afford so i want everyones reccommendations...

right so the bands you think are making a difference/ are worth my cash... do me a favourdont mention your mates band just cos they're your mates or whatever cos it'll probably just put me off going to see them even more... and no ones allowed mention the band i'm in either cos i'm gonna be going to see them whenever they're playin anyway (well kinda)

k the bands:

for me at the moment its

the 66 electric

who i'm priviliged to say i'm playing with soon enough... these are the lads who changed my view on the dublin music scene so hopefully i'll get a few more good ones

Are Fingermouse still going? I saw them at a Saturday afternoon free-jam in Eamonn Doran's about two years ago and they were great - even did a rock version of Backstreet's Back. Do you know if they're playing anywhere soon?

Sandi · 14-10-2002 8:44pm

Fingermouse played in DA2 a couple of Sundays ago and they were great! I don't know about any upcoming gigs tho...sorry...just keep an eye on the gig guides!

Woodstar.

IMHO best new Irish band around at the moment.

www.woodstar.ie

And, no, I've no connection with them.

Trev M · 15-10-2002 4:51pm

My favorite band in Dublin at the moment are Oz (see em at their single launch on friday in Butts), these guys have a great sound and really powerful songs with some great lyrics.

others that play the rawwk musak particularly well in my view are

Murder of Crowes (Also playing In voodoo this Friday)
Popstar
Berkeley
Polar (even if Mick slags me off alot ya bollix!!!)

and Bands that are good but who seem to be quiet at the mo ...

Seprico (??)
Writhe ( We play with em soon , think they play the Holloween show in Dorans too )
Jessica Insane ( Reforming, as in getting their stuff back together)
Delarentos (???)

Bands watch out for ....
Violent Sky.
Tokin.

...but of course you've already seen these two live already Mick

Bands I want to see soon....

....yeah, heard their single on tom dunne and thought it
was the flaming lips which can't be a bad thing.

they don't belong in any underground dublin scene, they've
the talent to bypass it.
very good stuff

BEHOLD! · 15-10-2002 7:39pm

um...
Fingermouse v. gd.
- they will be a lot better than they are right now, cos theyre workin on new stuff rather than old stuff from their other bands.

i knew that

, just saying they can go further than the usual spots in dublin which i've since learned they already have,
so they're no longer relevant to this topic
