I wandered into tower records one saturday after seeing a sign outside the door saying that "The Republic of Loose" were doing an afternoon show.
Id heard of the name before, but i hadnt heard any of their music.
From the moment the lead singer struggled onto the stage (he looked
like he had been up on the beer all night) i was hooked on these Guys.
So much energy and so funny. It was supposed to be the launch of their single, but Tower hadnt got it in, so the lead singer kept telling people to go up to HMV to get it.
Anyway, there is a mention of them in the telegraph article below that is worth reading.

You have to register to read it, but I think its a good read.

Welcome to the temple of Loose Kloot...these guys are the dogs....their album is due out soon and should be a cracker...haven't seen a Dublin band with as much diversity and charisma like them - a truly inspiring live band, can't say enough good things about them

I thought their Johnny Pyro EP was deadly, but the single "Girl I'm gonna f**k you up" is pretty poor. Sorry. Would still like to go and see em though, might be there in Feb

Have followed Mik and ROL from the early days and they just go from strength to strength - can't wait to hear the album and all those soul, funk influences. Should be a treat.
