Bio:

Powerpop quartet from Drogheda who had a huge local following. Made their Dublin debut at the Underground on 15 February 1986 and TV debut on RTE the same year. Dorian Mood released a fantastic debut single in 1986, a re-recording of "It's A Funny Thing" from a Dave Fanning session. This was followed by a mini-LP approx 3 years later, by which time Eamon Foley had left and the band had expanded to a five piece with Gavin Kierans (initially their manager) taking over on bass and new member Paul McQuillan. Eoin Holmes (of Hot Press) became their manager. They split sometime in late 1989. Gavin Kierans was later in Sharpesville.

The band recorded several tracks for Dave Fannings Show, including "What You Want", "Sleazy Attic", "Falling Deep Inside", "Vigilence" and the original version of "It's A Funny Thing". If anyone has a tape, please get in touch!

Dorian Mood's single is now considered a classic. Their LP doesn't attract as much attention from collectors but copies are even harder to locate.
