Top 5 Indie bands in ireland???

magpie

The Chalets suck satan's cock

dearheart

I know she technically isn't a band, but Gemma Hayes is really fantastic. Low-maintence, innately musical... I know she isn't ****in BEEFHART but come on fellas. I'd rather her than any other Astral-Weeks-obsessed crooner.

There's a reason Damien Rice's parents called him Damien ya know...:v:

Headgear, little known it seems, but undeservedly so.

(The Rednecks count as 3 bands so that's five in total. Or else you could say I'm too lazy to think of two more)

What 'song'? I don't remember Beard of Jesus having any actual songs.

The Marshals

The best hits are coming out next week (in time for Christmas) - it's called Jangly Bits and All the Hits
Should be on sale in Tower etc., etc., etc.

As far as I know, Anything Goes will be bringing out some solo material (under the moniker The Chaste Garibaldi, while Sunny Mooney and L. Casei Immunitas have formed another band called J. Cloth and the Soggy Wipes).

For me, the best indie bands in Ireland (or from Ireland!)...
The Dudley Corporation are top class.
The Rednecks and the Jimmy Cake (kind of a no-brainer)
United Bible Studies are the best live act - by a country mile.
House of Mexico are pretty darn good too (they are indie!).

DadaKopf

Ahh, yes... House of Mexico. Eases the pain.

I rate CH-1, but every time I've seen them there seems to be a triumph of style over substance. They seem very conscious of being cool or something.

I agree about the Rags, on record, at least, they're good, but live I cannot get past the frontman's ego. It irritates me to the point of distracting me from the music. I've never seen a bigger Thom Yorke wannabe.

Oh, and I'd like to add Michael Knight to my list. Why they're already not huge is a travesty.

Yeah, I'm not sure about the rest of them, but I know the guitarist has gone solo. He's playing at the Simon Community gig in Whelan's on the 22nd, I think.

don't know the irish music sceen much at all -this thread confirmed my thoughts, so i can't go about saying this group is the best. don't know what u know bout these guys, they're 'round these boards actually and I like to spread their name b/c i think they got some talent on their sleeve.

oh yea, and through my searching some time ago the band Clann Zu had a heck of an impact on me... have no idea what they're up to though.. and don't know if that means anything to yas.
