Exile in the Kingdom

From: Drogheda

Active: 1981-

Style: Punky Powerpop

Lineup (1983):

Bio:

Highly promising punk band from Drogheda of whom great things were expected.

Recorded a demo tape ("The Day They Came") at Slane Studios in 1983 which was played on national radio and earned them an invitation to record a Fanning Show session.

A single was recorded for the Kabuki label in 1983 which finally came out on Prophet Records in 1984. The catalogue number reflects it's originally intended release. It reminds me of The Three Johns. The band's later Fanning session reputedly mirrors Ruefrex's development.

According to MRR #17 (September 1984), E.I.T.K. completed a video which was intended for sale. Anyone out there have a copy?



lineup (1983): Tony Conaghy (vocals), John Hodgins (guitar), Barry 'Baz' Quinn (bass), Joe McCormack (drums)
Nicky Mallon was an earlier drummer (circa 1981)
