Unsigned bands.

Lady penelopy

anyone know any worth mentioning? my brothers band is just starting up properly, which made me realise how important publicity is! so, if you know of any, post about it!
theyre called the burning effigies, which is a sh1te name, it sounds like a death-metal band, which they aint. theyre cool, kind of like jerry fish.their album, pipe dreams, is in hmv and tower and theyve got a gig on the 14th of september(yes, the day i get my results)in the sugar club.

....lets shove this in for good measure.:D

also stoat are very cool.

Undergod

Itchy Trigger Finger

Mike Got Spiked

Morello

Might be signed, but not well known. Have played at gigs in Carlow, all pretty good.

THere's also a bunch of young fellas from (I think) Bray, called Atonal. Pretty good as well, I'm reasonably sure they aren't signed.

Phalanx, a band my brother plays lead guitar in. They have an album, Begging For More, and an ancient demo that is best forgotten about... heheh, ah no, it's not that bad. For anyone who happens to be both interested and in the Loughrea/Co. Galway area, they're playing a gig on monday in O'Deas hotel. Myeh.

Did I mention I did the artwork for the album? Yep. I'm cool.

Spraypaint

Kader Fyre and Nomad are both rattling around the Limerick circuit and are both pretty class.

ok, my bro's in a band called Jerome's Law and they basically all met at ctyi a few years ago and they need some supporters. They're reeeally good and they play gigs in the Sugar Club and at the Draiocht Arts Centre in Blanchardstown among other places so watch out for them

Waterford - the very home of unnoticed talent - has several great unsigned chaps, including;

Schlumph
Zenith
Jilted Stranger
Hot-Blooded Animals
Torann
Floyd Soul And The Wolf
And Many More

Indeed - come to Waterford for all your Musical needs. Sun, sea and shopping - Waterford has it all. So come on down to Waterford for a taste of the sunny South-East. YOu'll be glad you came, and we'll be glad to have you.

the happy mondays were one of the big early 90s baggie bands. They were involved in the Madchester scene. Bez (the guy who just danced on stage while out of his head was in celebrity BB). Played support at Slane in 1999. Not bad.

Like your sig.

and jim are great
i've heard one of jilted stranger's songs a couple of times. Quite excellent.

COCK

anyone heard of stwitch?

hes hard dance/techno/electronica.

He kicks ass and he does a lot of the underground clubs around the dublin area.

he just lost his record contract because his album wasnt 'poppy' enough, so hes trying to find a new record company.

He opened for LCD soundsystem and M83 at triptich festival in Aberdeen and Glasgow

Hes so good

It wasn't me!

the_only_Ali

There's some sort of festival this weekend in Dublin involving unsigned bands. You buy a ticket and you can wander from venue to venue. I'd be interested in going but the big reunion coincides with it. I don't know what kind of bands play it though, I assume alternative/rock sort of stuff, but I've heard most of them aren't THAT great. Anyone know anything more?

Piste

Hard Working Class Heroes by any chance?

You go to Marys? I'm a Highschoolian, ex Louis-er! Madness! What year are you in? Oh yes, and Prime Stroking Position are great. (see, I can be on-topic...)

Karlusss

Idlewild are playing HWCH. Beyond that... there's no-one in Dublin REALLY worth paying to see.

'cept Jerome's Law.

Jack Lynch

There are four bands in Mallow; Drunken Leper, metal band, excellent, Prostethic Hebrew, metal, more excellent, Hoofler, go home, and Mimic, punk band, great, think they're splitting up.

Drunken Leper sometimes do gigs outside of Cork, and Hebrew went to Wicklow once.

I realise that this is probably irrelevant, but i will get more info
