    Sorta debatable, that. One of the lads who runs/ran it is in Cork now.

    I saw Hooray For Humans in Quad on Friday night. Great gig. It was the perfect post-Stereolab gig. :)

    This is not Indie Rock, This is Rifle Rock!!!

    Don't mean to be a dick or anything but if you want to become a "GREAT" 21st century indie band, you'll need to get your teeth bleached and your bass player needs a new haircut.

    Not really an indie list but I'm guessing the term is being used to describe anything that's not played on the radio (or just phantom fm).

    God is an Astronaut - Best Irish band around at the moment IMO. I've seen them live 5 times. Here's hoping they come to Australia when they're finished touring europe and america.

    Republic of Loose - Just plain good.

    Director - Don't care who hates them. I think they're brilliant. Saw them supporting Faithless and Kasabian a few years ago. If I wasn't so drunk at the time I would have enjoyed them I'm sure.

    Neosupervital - Haven't seen a mention of him yet. Very surprising. Technically it's only one guy not a band though.

    **** I was about to say Hot Chip but it turns out they're English. I always thought they were Irish.

    From previous experiences:
    Bellx1
    Republic of Loose
    Director

    From what I've seen in the past week:
    Dark Room Notes
    Walter Mitty and The Realists
    The Demise

    I really have to start going to more gigs...
