    Maybe not on recordings, but 5 of my favourite live acts would be * therapy? (oh yes) * and so i watched you from afar (take you to another place) * the frank and walters (the sheer joy of a franks gig) * ilya k (intense and lashings of energy) * hybrasil (not too bands can make not-so-dancing feet dance) ((anyway of posting lists, line at a time, or even starting a new paragraph when posting on this message board? all sentences run one after t'other!))

    My top 5 live Irish bands (in no particular order)

    • Villagers (such a big voice from such a little guy)
    • Future Kings of Spain (I love to sing along, and they are one of the few bands I know every word to every song so I tend to enjoy their gigs quite a bit)
    • Roisin Murphy (the Queen of entertainment, poptastic)
    • Republic of Loose (not a fan of anything they do on record but live, wow, I like moosic when it's like that [/terrible 'pun']
    • Ham Sandwich (their cover versions tend to be amazing live)

    You have to go into 'full reply' and it's an option on the header bar, right beside the left, right, middle and justify options.  I never use the quick reply...should do I suppose but always go into the seperate page.

    Gotta agree about the Frank and Walters, utterly, utterly brilliant live band. I've never seen a band so at ease with being on stage, with each other and their audience. The Funeral Suits impressed me when I saw them supporting the Breeders earlier this year, which I think is quite an achievement. It's usually very hard for a support band to really make an impression with an initially apathetic and sceptical audience. Finally, they may be deeply, deeply uncool, but I've never seen the FourOfUs do a bad gig. If their records were half as much fun as their gigs, theres no way they'd be shuffled off into their current AOR niche.

    I saw the Blizzards live and thought they were excellent, I still won't buy their album though. Mutant Culture are pretty good live aswell. Has anyone here seen A Lazarus Soul live? I've not been fortunate enough to get to see them live yet.

    A Lazarus Soul are excellent live. The last time I saw them, a couple of months ago in Whelan's, was the best I've ever seen them. Seem to be putting much more effort into that than the Future Kings lately.
