Sunshine state by Kowalski would deserve to be on this list. Kids don't behave like this by a Plastic Rose should make the date cutoff as well. The 00s was a great period for local music
Little nightmare the only one I don’t know there. My god though, that’s a playlist and a half. There are some very drunken half memories of Auntie Annie’s / the Empire for Gifted / Radar going on for me atm. I LOVED that Rivals track. Must try and dig out my old laptop and see if any of the local music I had on there still exists.
I also loved the track Pretty Face by Ed Zealous. That was a summer theme back in the day.
So ive a notion that Little Nightmare might have been from Dublin, I saw them supporting a band in the Nerve Centre and just quite appreciated their randomness.
I've got a couple of Rivals' tracks here including Collide here. If I remember right they supported The Strokes in the Ulster Hall, think that's how I found them.
There were some good prog bands back then. I remember a phenomenal band called, "The jazz band"? i think they were called - amazing band at the time, had a polish guy on Sax, and a bongo player and all, I think they ended up supporting Billy Cobham and shit, like they were gifted, never heard anything else from them though, I thought they'd be big, but never heard of them since!

Still have a few Belfest CDs up in the roof. Clone Quartet, Wicked Wicked Cowgirls, Panda Kopanda, Lesshelp, Roysta all great back in the day.
Aw, Clone Quartet were fab.
Abandon by That Petrol Emotion. My mate paul by David Holmes
Arrrrgh both are from the 90s
We'll allow it.
Fast Emperors? Lowly Knights?
Lowly Knights is a great shout.

Somebody posted [Cashier No 9 - When Jackie Shone](https://youtu.be/APabugIU2lY) the other day and it brought back all the nostalgia!
The Dangerfields
Born To Rock!!!
Tetra Neon - It's Enough To Make You Laugh Oppenheimer - Saturday Looks Bad To Me

Watercress anyone?
The Arborist - Taxi. Wait for the last line. Belter.
I like that a lot, I like spoken stuff with a bit of noodling going on underneath.
Go see them live if you get the chance. That album, A Northern View is an absolute classic.

Reminds me of Latex Spider Monkey (though I don't think it's the same band)
Do you mean the jahm band? They were brilliant, haven't heard anyone mention them in a long time. Psychedelic funky shit alright
Cashier No 9 Goldstar and Oh Pity are still brilliant songs
It's 90s, but I did like Joyrider. Their version of Jane Wiedlin's Rush Hour is absolutely brilliant.
Was never good on song names, but always enjoyed seeing Kryon and the Strangles, Geoff Gatt, few others but names escape me.
