They began rehearsals back in February of 2009 and lately have been flooring local Dublin audiences with their unique brand of beatific alternative rock music,in packed venues like Break for the border , Radio city and many others.
Culture Vandals are determined to become one of the most exciting and energetic live acts at home in Ireland to begin with. They possess a hunger the likes of which has not been seen since the days of Thin Lizzy and later U2. However there are no inflated egos or delusions of grandeur here. They know the road is long and realise the only way of earning audience respect and loyalty is through what some nowadays deem as old fashioned approach of literally taking the show on the road. As Ed Tierney the bands singer has often said “live shows are the bread and butter of any great band”
Culture Vandals believe with well written songs coupled with a sincere and honest approach to live performance they can make a very real emotional connection to any audience. Something that can stay with you long after the shows over and the lights dim
