um... roper, giveamanakick, spektacle(or whatever theyre called now)... there was nuclone for a while, but theyre gone now.
youll find a lot of good unsigned bands if you look at the amc's website, theyll post a lot of gigs etc. http://theamc.homestead.com/homepage.html they organise most of the rock gigs etc around limerick.

I'll second this. Found the website completely by accident, and I still rate them as the "Best Band I have found on the Internet". Have yet to see them live though...
Definitely worth a look, My pick of the tracks would be Songbird.

[edit] I think T.A.P.E. will go down in history as one of the best live acts in Limerick for a long time.

And the O'Malleys, gotta love the O'Malleys...

MOYASTA!

No they're still Knapweed. Just saw them at the final Battle of the Bands thingy in Trinity Rooms last Monday. They were pretty good.

They're not that bad, being a Limerick band.

It's if they ever cross the county border they'll be screwed. There's absolutely nothing original about them.

Someone mentioned Veneer as the best ever Limerick Band - don't recognise any of the heads in the snap on the link but the original Veneer Band in limerick was made up of Ger Lane, Mark O'Connor, Colm Ward & Shane Feighery. Mark O'Connor is now playing with GOLF and they have just released their new CD and will surely be playing in Dolans soon - keep an eye out for them. It's one not to be missed.
