Is anyone else obsessed with this band?? I'm really interested to know because I personally think they're the next big thing...!

<snip>

Any oppinions on them?

Dregon

I think that they're a pretty decent band, they have some good songs ( Basis Of Everything, Eustace Street).

Will have to listen to a bit more of their stuff to give an opinion on them really.

Please don't mention MCD promoted events, thank you.

with respect to the boards charter. My fav irish band fullstop. Everythings great about them.

We might be working with the chap who worked on their albums! Wooooo! Their sound is just great, and they are amazing to see live. Been really into them for a whle now, cant get enough

catch--22

Strong runners for Choice Music Prize this year? Cathy Davey might give them a run for their money though. Either way they ahve a great album!

cas91

Im glad they have fans other than me haha any of you going to the gig in ambassador..?

SligoBrewer

snip again mods..

i saw them in sligo recently.. top notch stuff.. still cant hear right 3 days after! hehe..

absolute brilliant band..

choice prize certainly i think.. and best irish band atm imo

coxy14

When did people suddenly start calling them "the delorentos". As far as I know it's just "delorentos". Same thing is happening with arcade fire and it's driving me crazy!!

cas91

Coxy thats actually funny because from when i heard of them I've always known of them as The Delerentos... then was talking to my friend who introduced them to me a while back and she was saying " stop saynig the in front " haha! Also on their Album its just Delerntos.. Im in the wrong there I'm afriad!!:D

Actually on funeral, they are called, 'The Arcade Fire'

cas91

Ahh yes i actually meant to mention that on my above post but wasn't 100 % sure of it!!Now its confirmed I guess:rolleyes:

coxy14

was actually talking to a friend of mine about an hour after I posted that message and he mentioned that on Funeral they call themselves "the arcade fire" but changed it to "arcade fire" on releasing Neon Bible, maybe they didn't need the "the" once they'd etablished their indie creditentials!

Ha maybe so!!!:D

Amy Elliott

I quite like this band too, saw them two weeks ago upstairs in Dolans warehouse in Limerick , really good live I thought.

Stompbox

Fantastic band,hopefully they can extend their music to the UK. Anyone know if Blizzards had any luck in the UK?!

sprinkles

might vote for them for album of the week this week, they're looking for a 2007 album

Thou shalt not stop liking a band...

Hoisted by my own Scroobius Pip.

Hypergasm

****e band.....like contrived watered down gang of four but not getting gang of four in the first place...lyrics are meaningless drivel....corporate post punk (contradiction?)

Bren_M.Records

Cant agree with you there Hypergasm, if anything I think their probably writing the best tracks of all the more mainstream bands on the go in Ireland at the moment.
I think Eustace Street in particular is a really great little song so fair ball to them I say.

dceire

I love Delorentos too, best Irish album I've heard in a long time! Seen them at ******, elec picnic and in whelans this year, there a great live band to top the album off!

pariko

Seen them live a few times; very tight and professional, one or two catchy songs, but overall extremely samey and boring.

not even slightly original either.

I'd have to say the same, even though I'm related to one of them.

Not their fault really, but I also thought the engineering/production on their CD could have been a lot better.

binhead

Me no like, same old.

The world does not need another stripey jumper twitch band.

what did their fans think of them performing No Limits on Podge and Rodge.

It was with such sincerity and gusto.

Jebus Ghrist, It's Podge and Rodge, It's No Limits, Like, Have. A. Laugh.

meh?

Diarmsquid

Can't get enough of this band. [snip] Any Other Way has been my favourite song for a while now.

As I said, don't mention MCD events in this thread.

paddylonglegs

Saw them the other night,really tight and seemed to be bowled over with the crowd reaction.Nice support aswell.Good when they have a support act that isn't the same genre as the headline

lordgoat

yawn

It may have been 2:30 where you were and i'm sure you were all cosy after mumsy tucked you in and then you told her all about your great trip to see the delorentos and you can't wait for them to come back. There there son, calm down...

Your reply was actually more boring than your taste in music. Ha!

Long Johns

some people would say 'boring' is being immature and kinda b*tchy

some people like me actually!

Maybe you could have expanded a bit on your comment, rather than posting a blanket statement like yawn.

What ground have you to remark on what music I make or listen to? The amount you know about my taste in music is the amount I'm bothered with your opinion.

If you would have the decency to back up your replies with a worthwhile opinion,it would make this thread more interesting than the flaming which will more than likely about to take place

sprinkles

he's probably one of the people who are into a band when they are relatively unkown but once they achieve "pop" accredation they all of a sudden are outdated!

Anyway, this band is very listenable-to, the album is nowhere near as good as their live performances and that is a big shame becasue they are fantastic live.

Denalihighway

i've heard that actually. I've neither heard the album (but heard all the single on radio) nor seen em live in fairness but they've a great live rep and are obv v hard workers so fair f*cks to em. Doing all they've done off their own bat is a fair achievement too. Though I've always been concerned for their longevity outside this island given their contemporaries in UK etc. The UK scene is overated but still, they're must be a hell of a lot of soundalike bands and many that may be better so exporting the music may be difficult. That said, I've know idea if they're even interested in the UK...

Stepherunie

They were on the Ray Foley show a while back on Today Fm and iirc they were going to be making a concerted effort to break the UK in the new year.

Personally I'm a fan - was one of my fav albums this year

The first yawn, was in relation to delorentos, they've been around a few years now, they were boring when they started, they still are. I have as much ground to comment on your opinon on a message board as i want. Same as sprinkles has to comment on mine. Although she is way off. Although her opinion was very presumptious.

This yawn is for having to reply to you yet again, i'm ending this habt now.

Yawn.

Denalihighway

I've searched the thread for a relevant or worthwhile comment from you man...not a sign. Can you not discuss stuff like normal people or do you have to belittle and try and bring people to a 10 year old level?

for the love of god

give me a worthwhile thread and maybe i'll bother my arse. Also saying you don't like something is a worthwhile comment, how i've gone about it might not appeal to you or others, i don't really give a ****.

Denalihighway

ok lordgoat, go on with your bad self! i'm feeling a bit christmassy now so i'll leave it alone

that said, you are right, there's been an awful shortage of threadage lately. we should set up thread about it.

Yawn.

Firstly my post was a presumptious as you thinking I'm a woman.

Secondly they've been around for years on the road - small small gigs I might add - thier biggest breakthrough I'd say was the working class heroes - really set them up (Although they had a record deal at that stage). Anyway they are anything but boring on stage - which is all you would have seen for these "years" so I don't agree with your yawn.

Further to that a simple comment of "yawn" doesn't really explain what you then had to go back and explain. I think the problem with your post is that it didn't really say anything - and hence could be misconstrued as plain ignorance/arogance

Your second "Yawn" however was arogance.

Karlusss

Had a record deal? I thought they were still indie? A couple of the singles were definitely self-released.

They have formed their own label, Cottage Records to put out the album and the singles taken from it.
Im not sure who released their earlier singles.

Denalihighway

doesnt that mean they're still 'indie' though since its their own label set up specifically to release their stuff? I get all befuddled as to what 'indie' means sometimes these days!

Driver 8

I think indie these days is tight trousers, scruffy hair, and songs with three chords or less oh, being in the bloody NME
