Bell X1 used to be a band called Juniper. Juniper berries are used to make gin. "Gin and tonic dressing gown..." is a lyric from Bell X1's debut album, Neither am I, released in 2000 in Ireland. Ireland used to be poor, and now it's blingin, with scattered showers. Showers of critical acclaim followed the release of their (multi platinum n ting) second record, Music in Mouth, in 2003 in the UK and Ireland; the public too were keen. Keane, Snow Patrol, The Frames, Bon Jovi (?!) and Elliot Smith are some of the people that Bell X1 have toured with. With the song Eve, the Apple of My Eye on the latest OC soundtrack, the band recently played in New York and LA, where some of the OC cast came to see the show. Showing their ignorance, the band didn't know who they were being introduced to, bringing to mind the meeting of Homer Simpson and Billy Corgan - "Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins" ..."Homer Simpson, smiling politely".
Their current record Flock was released in Ireland and went straight to number 1 in the pop charts, followed by many sold out shows and all that jazz. Flock is out now! Make sure to check back here for more information!
T-shirts like the Classic Flock, the Lightening-Storm Flock and the Music in Mouth Kazoo Playin' Bull and the DVD 'Tour de Flock, Live at The Point', plus more collectables being added soon, all available at:

Hello guys, your gig on Pohoda Festival was the one of strongest feelings, that I had here. Good luck and I hope, in the next time I enjoy your music in Czech republic and I will have the same Flame in my eyes like yesterday.
I made a fool off myself by running up to someone that i thought was Paul Noonan turns out it wasnt BUT he still offered to pose for a photo with me...
Hows things lads, Love your stuff,bad skin day always reminds me of being in Celbridge. Got 7 minutes and 41 seconds to spare? Why not skip on over to the Eskies page there and have a listen to the new tunes? 'Standby' and 'The One Who Waits For You'.
you probably don't remember me, my best friend and i were up by the stage at your first chicago show this spring (we screamed during "like i love you") but i am SO excited you are coming with Stars. i already had my tickets, and you and Stars are absolutely my two favorite bands. i seriously started to hyperventilate when i saw the bulletin. this is amazing. a once in a life time show. and my best friend and i will be right up front.
Bellies, you'll always be the chocolate at the end of my cornetto! Was very sad not to be at Oxegen to see you play:( Anyways hope the tea always on the boil and it's great news that you're supporting the Stars, they're a great band!
