Phantom 105.2 FM special feature on the Garage Gigs & Live In Your Living Room, aired 09/10/2007 on Aidan Lynch's Icon Show, to be streamed at this link soon.
The Script First Garage Gig date June 2007, The Script shocked us with powerful no frills performances. No backing tracks, no messing, just great songs with great performances. Watched with interest as debate took place re The Choice Awards particularly. Our opinion is that if Ireland is going to export great pop music again, well at least now we have a credible export.
Fight Like Apes First Garage Gig 31st March 2007 in Kennedys on Westland Row, Fight Like Apes provided an astounding performance to a 'no pressure' audience including almost all of Sony UK A&R.

Jerome's Law 2010 is going to be a massive year for Jerome's Law, with album production commencing early spring. This band have the tunes that people will be playing, to much annoyance, up and down the length and breadth of Grafton Street. Jerome's Law, however, will not be asked to move along by the Garda.
THE RADIO Coming as they do, from several excellent backgounds (Rollerskate Skinny anybody??), it's no surprise that The Radio are class. First Garage Gig on Live In Your Living Room October 2007.
The YFO Formerly known as the Polo Bandits, a few line-up changes, and hey presto, 'Blueprint' appear. We have witnessed many metamorphises(?) at The Garage Gigs over the last 8 years, and it's always interesting. Blueprint came from the very beginning with us, and now, having transformed into one of the most unusual and interesting acts on our current roster, they are happy to be The YFO (and we don't have a clue what it stands for).

PARANOID VISIONS

Regular visitors to Garageland, legendary punk outfit Paranoid Visions are actually a huge inspiration to a large number of bands and musicians. Steering away from corporate capitalism, and instead using their music to speak for them, Paranoid Visions credibility is a rock.

Royseven

ROYSEVEN

Most noteable Garage Gig appearance in July 2007, as part of the 'Live In Your Living Room' Series in The Sugar Club(although the guys First appearance might have been considerably earlier than that!). It's fair to say, Royseven wrecked the place.

New album on the way in 2010.

HAM SANDWICH

First Garage Gig appearance mid 2005, with a highlighting performance in Sept 2007 on the 'Live In Your Living Room Series'.

Ham Sandwich lent their experience to the launch of the IYMAs in November 2008 at the RDS.

Superjimenez

Superjimenez.

First Garage Gig early 2006 in Eamonn Dorans, Superjimenez finally celebrate the release of their album 'Bang' in April 2009.

MYP et Jeep

MY PET JEEP

First Garage Gig mid 2006 in Eamonn Dorans, 'The Jeep' are currently enjoying widespread acclaim for their album 'Blood Is Not Enough'.

The Jeep Rock.

Vic

Orphan Code

ORPHAN CODE

First Garage Gig Back in 2007, when band members had just returned from The USA. Orphan Code write brilliant tunes, and will be with us for a very long time.
