The winning bands of Heat 1 are:
Safe Destination
The Relaters
Safe Destination Safe Destination was a hit at the heat on October 5th and will be going on to the final on October 28th. The band has been together nearly 2 years. From Clondalkin and Lucan, theyve been gigging at Eamon Dorans and the Voodoo Lounge as well as competing in the LA or Busk competition. They explain We play a very wide range of music. This is mainly because of the different music preferences within the band! We have Andy whos into post-grunge/metal, row-b whos into just about everything u can think of, Mikey whos into metal yet still enjoys de bit of punk and then theres Keith(Butters) whos into punk but is also open to some metal/indie etc.
The Relaters hail from Clondalkin and Crumlin. They got together this year and are already gigging in places like the Vibefest. The group says: The Band was originally formed by cousins Ryan and Leon. They were later joined by Gaffo and Hego. They began writing material which was heavily influenced by Rock and Indie. After a couple of jams the Band soon clicked and formed The Relaters! Leon and Ryan bring an Indie taste to the Bands material having interests in Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon and The Strokes while Gaffo and Hego bring a very Rock n Roll influence to the Band having strong interests in Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Thin Lizzy. The Relaters competed in NOISE on October 5th with two of their new songs: Howl and Enigma. See them play again on October 28th, 8pm in the Civics main auditorium.
The final will take place at
