Anyone know much about them? I know they're Irish.

Seemingly released a seminal album called Ghostown in the late 70s. Supported U2 as The Radiators Plan 9 on the Saturday night.

An influence on Cathal Coughlan I believe.

Cheers

good. not bad. two bass guitars.

the (I think) guitarist from the radiators, pete holidai, taught/teaches in the music tech course in ballyer. taught me music business, which meant we basically sat around a lot and watched spinal tap.

[Jaker]

I heard they hang out with The Walls?

 

[CITY BABY]

fuck ghost-town its weird* their first album is where its at , one of the best first wave punk bands , kinda remind me of the members!

*weird = anything that isnt two a minute catchy,sing along song ,e.g pink floyd, the redneck manifesto ,any band that has "musicians" in it

Yes they are better than U2(because that wouldn't be hard) and the records are great,but they should've stayed split. When they played the village last year it was awful,really lacking. Shame really because they really were once great.

yes..very true..
i just think its a major shame that they didnt break through as they should/would have done back in the day if it wasnt for a few hinderances of sorts..
and the new stuff isnt a patch on the old stuff but fair play for getting it together after such a long gap and such..theyre really dedicated and love what theyre doing...

ah, the independent observer delivers his report!

 

[righteous harmony]

when i was a kid 'million dollar hero' was one of my favourite songs. played it over and over and over. found it recently, scratched to shit...

ah come on now..
i am delivering an independent observation of the band..
if anything my connection with the band makes me more critical of them.
im far from biased..

must also stress that the new band is the radiators PLAN 9..
to quote themselves they are a radiators from space covers band..

but their point is its a new beggining..a new band..
debatable if its a better one though..
theyre better suited to '76 than '05
over and out..

Ghostown is a deadly record.

A new band who play a set of songs from the old band. Cover band-every body with any sense knows cover bands are a waste of space.
Personally I'd much prefer to see them do something under a different name,logo and new sungs,even if it was rubbish than to be so reliant(is that a word?) on the greatness of thier past. But whatever,I'm not in the band.
