Bio
.. .. .. ........Welcome to the wonderful world of The Fewer, The Better!........ ..Where a Limerick rock band who play something called psychedelic punk rock get to gig with the best of Irish and international talent in the last five years, where alien-fuelled tripped-out videos win awards in Germany whilst drummers fall off cliffs in Co. Clare but bounce back up again, where two full albums gain a legion of crazed and beautiful fans and songs about the scraping of the earth's atmosphere by the space children of an orphan race appear on CDs beside Kila, Republic of Loose and The Flaws. Where someone remembers that rock music is supposed to rock and nothing, O nothing is quite what it seems..... ..In the last few years The Fewer, The Better have gigged, recorded and shared CD space with some of the best bands of various generations.
