A House

A House were an Irish rock band that was active in Dublin, Ireland, from 1985 to 1997, and recognised for the clever, "often bitter or irony laden lyrics of frontman Dave Couse ... bolstered by the [band's] seemingly effortless musicality". Their 1992 single "Endless Art" is one of their best known charting successes.
Formed in Dublin in 1985 by former members of the band Last Chance, vocalist Dave Couse, guitarist Fergal Bunbury, Drummer Dermot Wylie were joined by bassist Martin Healy (who had all been schoolfriends at Templeogue College), came together as A House. The band honed their live skills in the pubs of Dublin, performing in McGonagle's club (best known internationally as the venue where U2 cut their teeth in the late seventies), at free gigs in the Phoenix Park, and turns on RTÉ's TV GaGa and Dave Fanning's radio sessions.

Peel didn't seem to play any of the group's records in the 80's, except a 1987 session, where they performed four tracks for his radio programme. It was only until 1990 that he started playing records from the band and in 1992, they did a second session for his radio programme. Further material from the group were played on his shows until 1997, when the band split afterwards.
