Without question, the best Dublin band at the moment is Pugwash - great, great songs and they put on a cracking live show - they are playing HWCH this Friday so if you get a chance go see them!

my mistake.

no no, my mistake, the thread must be about band's financial ongoings rather than musical output

haha, bethlehem
no youre right pq, u2 have put out some great albums, i dont listen to them much anymore to be honest. but when i was away travelling you hear s**t loads of em, and a lot of it is quite good, some very. (new stuff doesnt appeal to me at all, some of pop, but zooropa is a great album)
about moving their money, ordinary band no problem. when youre gonna preach though, i think it absolutely reeks of hypocrisy. that really turned me off

Well if we're judging them on their musical merits then no, no f**king way.

i'd go with:
the immediate
neosupervital (dublin-ish)
director
delorentos
RoL
pugwash might well be added to that list when i get around to listening to them

i was under the impression that all or most of the extended bellx1 massive were from the leixlip/celbridge general area?
but i could be (in fact i probably am) wrong!
