We were just ghosts existing within the walls of the Sony building in London. Steve and Joe did some recording in their own home studio in London to get the wheels of progress moving again, but soon settled in Dublin intent on forming a proper band. Their London housemate, Carl Harms, was imported for his programming, engineering and musical skills, and Tallaght native Rory Doyle soon took over drumming duties. When we got back to Ireland we had to snap out of that virtual band thing and that s why we were really eager to get a band together. We needed to just get on stage and start playing again - to go back and do what we d done in the beginning.
Music is all about getting up on stage in some little, sweaty bar and playing it.
One of our first gigs was in a small bar in Tramore. We went in and asked where the stage was. Well, move that out of the way. It was basically where a trad band would play. We were actually happy to do it because we felt we were finally a band again.
