During the Christmas period I came across a very early version of the Whelans website from '99. Jasus 10 yrs back! Anyway what a fun nostalgic read! http://homepage.eircom.net/~lh anlon/ February & March 1999 Whelan's Listings: Thu, 18 Feb DEADMAN'S FLATS Fri, 19 Feb TERRY SUTTON Sat, 20 Feb THE PRAYER BOAT Mon, 22 Feb GERRY O BEIRNE Tue, 23 Feb FAOLAN (FEAT SEAN WHELAN , PAUL KELLY) Wed, 24 Feb JULIET TURNER Fri, 26 Feb THE MARY JANES [...]
Kevin over at indiecater and mp3hugger is fast becoming the most influential blogger for Irish music. The Indiecater Record label has already released three compilations, a special Christmas compilation and most importantly has re-released five forgotten indie jems from the vaults of history. These are ..... Red Star Belgrade - Where The Sun Doesn't Shine Released in the mid '90's Red Star Belgrade's (yes, they were named after the football team) classic 'Where The Sun Doesn't Shine' has been in hibernation for several years.

I think every one is just tired of AZNs (Panda Bears are AZNs), and they want a creature from a more alt-part of the globe. Polar Bears are [...]
Some things just weren't meant to be, no matter how beautiful the creation. Sunbear were a short-lived quartet from Dublin who produced a spellbinding album and follow up EP way back in the mid nineties. Martin Kelly was the lead vocalist with the choirboy dream pop tonsils who could propel the jangling instrumentation into the realms of greatness. Of course, that greatness was under appreciated
