The Low

Active: 1980-84?

Lineup:

Bio:

Long running Dublin band who recorded several demos but never made it onto vinyl. They received regular coverage in Vox and were highly rated by many. Someone should release the demos - where are all these celtic tiger millionaires when you need them? Oh yeah, buying holiday villas in Bulgaria as an "investment". How far we've come... (note: written before the crash!--ed.)

Managed (for a while anyway) by Dave Clifford of Vox. Paul Murtagh guested with My Bloody Valentine in 1983/84 when they lost their bass player Mark Ross. In 1984 Robbie Warren took over on drums (having played with them earlier for a spell in 1981?) and the band morphed into The Real Wild West.

Charles Rafferty had previously been in a band called The Queen & the Royal Family with Stephen Ivers (of Atonomy, My Bloody Valentine) which dates back to 1976.
