Hi Matt! Glad to see you guys on YT. I still have the photos from your first gigs at school and a cassette tape from you first gig at Furey's in Bangor. All when the band was called "trine" If I can figure out a way to "digitise" this stuff I will try to post it online. Dodge with serious hair and all!

Russ.

I was lucky enough to see this band in St. Louis when they toured to support this album. I think they were at Cicero's basement bar. (not really sure, lots of drink in those days). They were great. I always thought 'Freakshow'  was their best song.

[irishmatt66]

@thiekrelmik ... it was actually The Links Club in the Central West End. Played there 6-8 times.

[thiekrelmik]

@irishmatt66 No;  seriously Bro.....I know it was somewhere in or around the Delmar Loop. BlueBerry Hill possibly.?. Kennedy's .?... I never saw any bands in the West End. Don't get down that way much. I at least know it wasn't Miss. Nights. I honestly think it was Cicero's. I know it was sub-terraninan anyway. Have I lost what was left of my feeble mind already? AAARGH!!! Anyway; thanks for responding.

[irishmatt66]

@thiekrelmik ... definitely the Links Club. Played Mississippi Nights twice then Links every other time.  Links is now Club Viva... oh.. I'm the drummer for Ghost. I moved to STL after the band broke up. glad you enjoyed the shows.

[thiekrelmik]

@irishmatt66 I stand corrected! ; )

[handbag08]

Im trying to get in touch with them again. I was the front of house sound engineer for them years ago (during Tina Turner , Something Happens time) Great days shared with these lads

Brilliant video , song and band

[Chrisalmon]

I just happened upon these guys at a bar in Blacksburg, VA (VaTech) in probably 1993. I still love this record. Cheers.

[brandsca123]

Worked with Matt at Michelin,Ballymena,not seen him in years

[commhealy]

First heard these guys when they opened for Kansas in Topeka in 1991 or so. Like them better than the main act!

[marisha79]

Tried to find this on itunes....what a classic song...it was a staple on WHTG in NJ back in the 90s.

[mrjohnnyboy65]

WHTG 106.3 FM if i remember correctly, was out of Neptune, NJ. WOW! Now that was a great station!

[alemapllewort]

benny did as u told me  yous were great proud of you wee bro xx

[mol2lie2001]

I saw them in Houston at the old Astroworld theater. I believe they opened for Jesus Jones. It was early 90's. Maybe 91 or 92. Fun times. I still listen to my tape every once in a while.

[cyclone259]

I videotaped them in Tulsa in '91 or '92. After Ghost broke-up Dodge culled together The Sunday Club (very low key compared to Ghost, but still great). Sadly, like so many other noteworthy, yet forgotten performers (check out 'Denzil') they had to compete in the arena with so many throwaway, TOP 40 bands and so they didn't get much airplay.

[starskymusic]

Saw these dudes in trillions in newcastle early 90s superb gig

[aldernodules]

one of my favourites from my early twenties! excellent live performances in the Errigle. have both albums.

[guyvonla]

Saw them probably 10 times in St. Louis. Amazing live show. Never got the recognition they deserved!

[bangorgooner]

cant find i hear voices anywhere on youtube, anyone any ideas?

[promisin]

Wowee! I can't believe The Airmen are on utube..fab record and a cracking video from a truly underated band.Come back please we miss you.

Catriona in Derry.

[Lovecraft688]

I saw these guys at a dive club in Greenville, SC and loved 'em ! Wondered what ever happened to them. Only band from Ireland that mentions Mishawauka IN that I know of !

[Neostore]

Has Matt the drummer posted these?.

I knew these guys years back when their manager Dave Sinton and i worked togther at Slaughterhouse Studios in UK. Over the years I have had number given to me for Sint, from everyone from Tm Wheeler to Andy Cairns. Non of them worked!!

Love to speak to him again. And no he doesnt owe me money. LOL. I just owe him a lot form making me who I am.

[exlurp]

[prjb67]

[matspia]

@exlurp

I was there! In 1990. I'm their only Swedish fan. How can I find more of their music apart from these three clips on YouTube?

[exlurp]

saw them live in the kiln in larne n ireland, many many years ago, got spat on too.! must admit, now sitting here in Idaho, damn, pretty damn good music. Wish I wasn't so drunk in my 'younger days' to appreciate them, as i do now

[david85306]
