This band are amazing ....first gig I saw was at Fibbers on Parnell St, Dublin where they blew my socks off. Check out the website above for more info and dates that they are playin' around Ireland this year.

I would urge you all to go and see them....I promise you will not be dissapointed!

When did MGS support Offspring, HIFH and MCR, they've never toured america or europe either. Savage band though, but get the facts right man, dont give them a rep for waffling.

saw them when they supported biffy clyro at the voodoo lounge.

they weren't bad as far as support acts go. definlately more than listenable.

Saw them supporting Anthrax a while back. Wouldn't be my cup of tea but they're probably the tightest, most together Irish band I've seen in a long, long time.

definatly one of the tightest bands around in Ireland without a shadow of a doubt.

Yeah you'd really want to get your facts straight before posting. In fact, you may just want to leave the band to pimp themselves (which I kinda thought was the point of this board). If its a case of going on about great acts then we're going to see a Tom Waitts thread, a Led Zep thread, a Pink Floyd thread etc etc etc.
They're definitly a tight act and I've really enjoyed them on the fair few occasions when I've seen them perform. I thought the album was a bit lacking, but thats only relative to the live shows as it really failed to capture the energy they wreak on stage.

I let it go because it will at least make people aware of an Irish band, every little bit helps

Saw mike got spiked at the Anti-Pop festival in Carlow....Very very good indeed!!!

Waltons

Just had a listen to the samples they give off the album there. Nice Incubus-ey feel off some of the songs. I'll have to head along next time they're playing since everyone's singing their praises

My apoligies....read the info on the site incorectly. My aim was just to get word out about what I think are a top class band and who I really enjoyed seeing. Just wanted to let people who haven't heard of them chance to check out the site and hopefully the band if they like what they see and hear. Should have deffo checked my info b4 posting and will see can the neccessary amendments be made so that people are getting the right stuff.

Perhaps thats why such posts should be started by the band themselves..oh well

My intentions were good! I swear.
