Aslan in the early 90s? Oh without getting into too much bashing here, but it we're gonna get strict about it, they were pretty much non existant. Dignam was turfed out of the band in 88 and they had two singles in 93 after the reform. It would be the guts of another year before an album would surface.
Great live act around that period of time too, but got very stale, very quickly. First two albums, pretty decent, anything after that, forget about it.
Still trying to figure out where they fit into an Alt/Indie category, but far be it for me to backseat mod. Sooo without further ado.
Kerbdog: I really do not know where they went wrong after their first album though. I preferred the heavier sound of their debut album. Saw them support Therapy? at the SFX in 1993 as a last minute sub for Cop Shoot Cop on the second date, I think, yeah I think i got the better end of that deal. Great live act too, but it took them too long to follow up with On The Turn, and with the change of sound, i lost interest.
The Golden Hoarde were rubbish, sorry. Saw them at Sunstroke 93 and they nearly put me to sleep.
Therapy? A lot of time for that band then, and a lot of time for them now.
My Little Funhouse: I miss that band, Standunder is still played a lot here, question regarding them. Did they release a single around 1994 that wasn't on it, that got a lot of radio airplay here? I could be wrong on that though.
Surprised nobody mentioned Blink yet...0 -

No, they were a one hit wonder that were forgotten about by most of the country except their native Cark
Unfortunately for the rest of us, they're still going!

From Wickla (for me sins) so not guilty on the Cork thang!
Tis a fact though that their first three ep's/single's were voted single of the week by NME which aint bad going!ShawnRaven wrote: »No, they were a one hit wonder that were forgotten about by most of the country except their native Cark

Yeah, but the only problem is that New Musical Express have, and always have had, their heads up their ass since the dawn of time. Especially now, i still cringe at a lot of their articles due to the insane amount of factual errors present in them.
So getting anything from NME isn't exactly an honour, more a curse or a joke.0 -

god some memories here , there seems to have been a much richer pool back then.
To be honest though i only remember a couple of songs by some of the ones mentioned already, kerbdog and therapy where more my thing then i guess.
remember seeing my little fun house at sunstroke in 94 oh what a day and then therapy playing later that day, oh to to 14 again
Frank and walters had that song later in the life of the band called plenty time, that was quite good.
The Devlins had some great songs but they came later i think didnt they.
Rollerskate skinny where a favorite of mine0 -

Awesome gig, except for the headline act. The Chilis were so bad that I actually walked halfway through the set. Worst thing is they still used that stupid "Mind if we play some Wet Wet Wet/Bryan Adams songs" joke a few weeks later at Reading. It was embarrassing. Therapy? were awesome that night, so were Terrorvision too.The Devlins had some great songs but they came later i think didnt they.
Actually The Devlins were around from about 93, if not earlier. I do remember hearing the Live Bait, Dead Bait EP from a girlfriend of mine at the time. I think it was only released on cassette at the time and is considered somewhat of a rarity now.0 -
I don't do "proud to be from Cork" (people from other parts of the country - especially Dubs - tend to make far more of a big deal of it than I do) but they were anything but a one-hit wonder. They released a string of critically acclaimed singles. One of their early singles, Walter's Trip, is outstanding.ShawnRaven wrote: »No, they were a one hit wonder that were forgotten about by most of the country except their native Cark

The Golden Horde, never said I liked them just mentioned them
Therapy, great band back then, went downhill when Fyfe Ewing left, he was a major part of the sound and arguably the best rock drummer to come out of Ireland.
Saw U2 in RDS in 93, they had Scary Eire as support, remember them?!!!!!
"ON THE DOLE QUEUE!"
What was the name of that Irish early prodigy like dance\rave crowd? Guy with big hair dancing, they sampled a trad tune on one single. From cork\kerry area I think.0 -
