Bio:

Dublin new wave band formed in the late 1970s. The band never had a permanent drummer, instead various drummers played with the band during their lifetime including Bernie Walsh (Sinners, Stars of Heaven etc).

Alternatives played every Thursday night during the Winter of 1979 in the Magnet with Strange Movements and the Blades until they were targeted by local gangs who smashed their transport and badly beat up the guitarist. They only played out once after this at Dandelion Market. Paul Redmond and David Christie then formed A Further Room in 1981.
