Bio:
Early incarnation of Into Paradise, formed end of 1984 approx.
The name was a reference to Blue in Heaven, from the same Dublin suburb.
They kept a very low profile, managing the band themselves, and doing only a hanful of gigs
over the following 2 years.
They'd recorded two demo tapes and a Dave Fanning session by mid-1986.
The first single was described in
Hot Press as sounding like "Knocking On Heaven's Door" speeded up.
Both tracks on the Comet compilations are culled from the same demo tape. One of
these tracks "There's A Mountain" won the In Dublin best demo and best band competition in
1987. It is excellent. "Piece Of Paradise" is less convincing.
Another old song "Here With You" surfaced on the These Auld Tapes blog.
Rachel Tighe was later in the excellent Luggage.
