No Monster Club – lost somewhere in the backwoods
What you may need to know…
01. Bobby and the lads are off in Amerikay at present, pressing the flesh and raking up road miles to support their current 7″ record, Where Did You Get That Milkshake?.
02. It’s somehow the Dublin lo-fi lads’ debut 7″ after a rake of releases, but also their first for Stateside label Emotional Response.
03. We would hope that the video above, for single Do the Mess Around, has not been an accurate portrayal of events thus far.
04. Broadsheet readers situated Stateside might be able to show up and give ’em the shlag. The rest of their tour takes them to the Dev in Utica tonight; tomorrow night to Otto’s Shrunken Head in Manhattan; Candy Apple Island in Bloomfield, NJ on the 2nd, and New Funky Jungle in Providence, RI on the 5th.
VERDICT: Another pop gem the likes of which Bobby Aherne and the boys seem to just have in a stockpile somewhere. Grand.
Mike, I’m wondering how many Irish bands you’ve covered at this stage.
How many (non cover) Irish bands are there?
Howdy, Rory! I honestly wouldn’t put a figure on the amount of artists on the Irish scene overall. Hundreds seems like an over-exaggeration, but is it really?
Not only have I not run out of bands I’ve not covered yet, but more seem to keep forming, reuniting, splitting off from other bands, going solo, etc.
Long may it last.
There are enough bands to keep Mike going for a couple of years. The Dublin is very fractured with mates regularly playing in other mates’ groups
