From: Churchtown, Dublin
Active: 1986-88
Style:
Lineup:
- Dave Long - guitar/vocals
- Rachel Tighe - bass
Bio:
Early incarnation of Into Paradise. The name was a reference to
Blue in Heaven, from the same Dublin suburb. The first single was described in
Hot Press as sounding like "Knocking On Heaven's Door" speeded up.
Both tracks on the Comet compilations are culled from the same demo tape. One of
these tracks "There's A Mountain" won the In Dublin best demo and best band competition in
1987. It is excellent. "Piece Of Paradise" is less convincing.
Rachel Tighe later in the excellent Luggage.
