i saw shake play (which became RSS after Shields joined the band), they were pretty good, kinda ok, been playing around town for years without much success...then about 6 months later I saw RSS with Shields in the band: they were incredible, like a completely new thing, the change was unbelievable. It was obvious he had a huge impact.

Jimi wasnt even in the band for horsedrawn wishes, he went on to do lotus crown, which was alright, Griffin did Kid Silver which is insanely brilliant, that fucking voice is from heaven and hell

Someone has also uploaded the video for "Miss Leader" yeeaaaaaah!

@crackednose here here, i saw the change too, shake were ok, then Shields arrived, RSS was born and they were suddenly phenomenal, and making records!

I'm currently uploading both albums dudes. It'll take a while cos I'm busy though.

It was a montage of images they like, but mostly music that is important to them. I believe they used the cover from Shoulder Voices among images of every amazing band you can imagine 70s through the 90s, and some images of Mercury Rev. I don't recall any recent bands being included.
-
what kind of clip was it?
-
I was just at a Mercury Rev show on Dec 16th, and they had Rollerskate in their opening film clip that they took the stage to.

Not just one of the best Irish tracks of the nineties - one of the best tracks of the nineties period.

I've been annoyed for a while that all they had at the RS site was a clip. I was hoping someone had the full version. Is this the only video they made? Horsedrawn Wishes is one of my top five albums of all time.I can't believe the sound they created-- so dense but unbelievably melodic too. Liked Kid Silver quite a bit. Favorite Sons is hit and miss, much more simple and raw, but there is that voice he has, certainly! If I ever get to see them in NYC I'm going to ask for some RS songs!

It's the only video I've found. Probably yes, they haven't recorded anything else. If you like RS and Kid Silver check out Lotus Crown. They're also quite good

This is great stuff. Surely on on the best Irish tracks ever. Is there a Rollerskate Skinny album I can get this on (as opposed to a compilation album)? Are they still together?

No, sadly, the band is now defunct. This song was on their second album - Horsedrawn Wishes.
