"You want the words, yeah well I want the action-Don't blame me 'coz you're not the attraction"
The Revellions were forged amidst a haze of frustration and red neon lights in the early days of 2006. Coming from the dark,dank caverns of the Dublin garage underground they juggled about with a lineup and soon met wailing blues singer Ali Moore.The Revellions then lined up into attack formation and unleashed a wave of garage frenzy onto the unsuspecting public
They recorded their eponymous debut album at the infamous Cirrco Perrotti studios in Spain,produced by Jorge Explosion(Dr. Explosion) & Mike Mariconda(The Raunch Hands), and released it on Dirty Water Records in late 2008 to excellent reviews.
"They combine the gut wrenchingly raw sound of a garage band in heat with a smooth heroin surf atmosphere" Mojo
"The Revellions are actually a bit of a revelation.While we've all heard the three chord buzzsaw riffs and swirling organs before, the band achieves the unthinkable by making it all seem fresh and new" Hot Press
"This abrasive and primitive collection of raw punk rifferama and wild organ playing is a highly promising debut that knows it's strengths and doesn't outstay it's welcome" The Irish Daily Star
"Smooth, seductive, but still primitive........not exactly ghoulish or zombie rock, surf, garage or garagepunk but a glimpse of perfection somewhere inbetween" The Paisley Umbrella
In the summer of 2008 The Revellions etched themselves into the history books alongside bands like The Yardbirds, The Zombies and The Sonics etc when they recorded their live BBC sessions at the Maida Vale studios in London on Mark Lamarr's show Gods Jukebox
Along with a string of successful gigs throughout mainland Europe the men have played with some bigger name bands such as Graham Day & The Gaolers, The Sultans of Ping, The Pretty Things and Rochee and The Sarnos to mention but a few.
The Revellions know how to keep it primitive. Keep an eye out for the dates of their European tours this summer
Great gig even from a very sober point of view. Lister you were the main man, no doubting who you were! J most talked about and definitely most entertaining (At least he had a male nurse to look after him!) Ah and little Darcy is now the hot sexy 70’s porn star, who has added sex appeal to the Revellions (Me I still think he looks gay!) Enjoyed the entertainment, One of the best band of the weekend. Cheers

Hello all, Shell Denies Involvement in Trawler Sinking
At 2am on Thursday morning, Pat O'Donnell's boat the 'Iona Isle' was boarded by four masked men and sunk out at sea, near where Mr. O'Donnell lays his fishing pots off Erris, North Mayo, Ireland. Mr. O'Donnell and crewman Martin McDonnell were attacked and held down by some of the men, while others went below deck, where they proceeded to sink the boat. <> Those opposing Shell are now in fear of their lives.” <> For the full article on this go to:
