Edge talks about new Irish bands in the latest Hot Press:
Hot Press: Are any new Irish bands floating your boat at the moment?
Edge: “At the Hot Press Awards there were a couple of bands that I thought were really exciting. You’ll have to help me with the names. I’ve just got a bad memory for names. I haven’t heard any of them on record. One of them reminded me of the early punk days – Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, that sort of vibe. Real raw stuff, real vitality.”
Hot Press: I wasn’t actually there this year, but I think you’re probably talking about the Revs.
Edge: “Yeah! They were one of the bands. There was another one that was even more interesting though. I can’t remember what they were called but they had a real vibe, a real charisma about them [The band in question was The Frames – OT(the interviewer)]. I think Kila have got something on the traditional front. I haven’t seen them live but I hear that’s quite an experience. I’ve got a couple of their records though.”

I think it’s a bit weird Edge can’t remember the Frames who’ve been around for a decade or more.

Adam forgets the name of “that song that Bono dedicates to his father”. Now edge… mmmm… one of theses days Bono forgets that he is on U2 and Larry forgets that he is the drummer and tries to sing. That would be frightning 🙂

Bono can’t remember his own lyrics a lot of the time.
