Tell us three things about yourself . . .
Three of us went to school together and Dan won us over in music college with his charm and joined the gang, we love a pint of Guinness except Dan who is allergic to gluten and all nice tasting things, and we love to have a good laugh together and play some tunes.
How would you describe your music?
Loud, energetic, and best experienced live.
Who are your musical inspirations?
Eoin - And So I Watch You From Afar.
Tommy - Foals.
Diarmuid - Muse.
Dan - Radiohead.
But we all collectively love the Bear in the Big Blue House theme tune.
What was the first gig you ever went to?
Tommy and Diarmuid both went to see Foo Fighters together in Marley Park in 2007 and had their minds blown, Eoin’s first big one was Green Day in Marley Park in 2010 and Dan saw Arctic Monkeys in the 3Arena on their Humbug tour.

Eoin: "Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket, boys, Build a rocket, boys." (Elbow - Lippy Kids).
