    The VooDoos

    A Cork based band currently in the USA supporting Queensryche on their 30th anniversary tour and getting rave reviews over there. Check them out, they're the best live act that I've seen in a long time.

    Once again - the Band Promotion forum is the place to go to promote your own band. This thread is for suggesting bands that you're not involved with yourself.

    I caught these live on a few occasions over the summer. I think they're growing into a very tight outfit. Another new band from Waterford.

    Sounds good.. And I know exactly what you mean !!

    The lads that I posted above (The Voodoos) are doing very well in the States. Were on Daytime TV in Seattle this morning and can't get a mention from the music media here. I loved them the first time I saw them live and the same with almost everybody I know. Their FB fans are now pushing towards 3,000 but still nothing here..

    (Jeff - just in case the comment you posted under my post was towards me!! - It's not my Band. I'm just a huge fan since I first saw them playing. You will be too when you see them :D )

    Link to their TV performance here - Only 3 of the 5 as it was acoustic:

    Check these guys out, www.myspace.com/theradioactivegrandma. I've seen them a few times on the Monaghan /Cavan /Dundalk area and they've supported Henrietta Game a couple of times. They have an EP out at the moment and an album in the works. From the material I've heard (and not on the EP) they have some brilliant songs that will be big hits in the next 12 months. Nice to see more talent emerging from this area.

    Big plug to these guys from Cork. They've an EP coming out in December. Hints of Local natives, wild beasts and Echo and the Bunnymen but still distinctly original. The track Lily is available for free download from their Bandcamp page.

    Played a heat of a competition with them early this year. Put on a good show alright.
