    There's a severe lack of bands in Dublin that write music because they love to write music.

    You may not agree with me, but I think those three bands above, in addition to being muscially brilliant, write (or in BFF's case, wrote ) songs with real heart.

    I'm a guitarist located on the south side looking to form a hard-working band that can play a mixture of electric and acoustic songs; songs, as I said before, with real heart.

    I'm looking for a drummer (you don't have to be amazing, we're not looking for a Jimmy Chamberlain), a good bassist who likes to play a very active, important part of the band, and if you're a guitarist who is interested in any of the above bands, why not give it a go too?

    If anyone's interested (don't be shy) please e-mail me at splatoutofluck@hotmail.com .

    Cheers,

    Hehe, I pay by the letter.

    (Note to self: What a novel idea. Hire this guy to write your songs.)

    But yes, weren't Ben Folds Five great?
    Jesus, I'd kill to have seen them live.

    "Rockin' the Suburbs" really is one great big pity.

    I just don't like it.

    It doesn't nearly live up to any of Ben Folds Five's material IMO.
    I mean, even BFF's Naked Baby Photos album, with the unreleased and live stuff, is way way way better.

    It's just a shame they had to split.
