Yeah, but there's a story behind one's "Local hero"!
Good "local" music really began for me when I came to Dubling first. Read an interview with Wormhole in Dublin Event Guide, back in 94. Dave, the drummer, said about his drums, something like "I don't know how to play them, but I love them". Beautiful! Sold! One of my classmates supported them for their album launch, I missed it, bought the album nonetheless, and saw them a couple of times just after that. I love(d) the way they talk(ed), then loved Chicks Dig Scars, then loved how mad they were live. They were a very liberating experience for my young and untainted brain. I stopped searching for the heaviest Death Metal album in the world, and headed off the beaten path, towards The Idiots and Schroeder's Cat territory, two more local heroes for me. I chose Wormhole rather than either of the other two because their original lineup is, miraculously, about to play the Joinery's last event, and because this song is so great:

I was listening to Tenderness by Pet Lamb the other day in the car. Tis nice. I think I have a 12" by them too?

Cool. Would live to pick up some of their stuff.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Any of the stuff of theirs I got was in Road Records so not sure where would have it now. discogs I'd imagine.

 

[Unknown Convict]

i always hoped brian mooney of the idiots and brian mooney of pet lamb would form a band together.

by coincidence, both of them worked for me over the years. i still count the idiots one as a mate. (he's supporting little green cars this month.)

best ever. cool tshirts too.

still have my "i am an asshole" shirt from feile '9...4? m.c.d. wouldn't let them sell them for a fiver as there was a minimum price of £10 per shirt so they did a "b.o.g.o.f" deal.

discogs thinks they're the same guy. the entry is very confused -http://Brian Mooney Discography at Discogs
might have to edit it, but where to start...

Can't beat Lillis.

No, he doesn't stand for that.

 

[sleepy]

I remember seeing Pet Lamb in the GAA centre in Tullamore back when I was about 15. It was one of the loudest gigs ever.
