A House

About Me

Legendary Irish indie greats, A House , released 5 studio albums between 1988 and 1997 to mass critical acclaim. From the Stadium shaking debut 'On Our Big Fat Merry-Go-Round' (with it's US Billboard Chart hit 'Call Me Blue') to the heartbreaking (and heart-warming) swansong, 'No More Apologies', these Dubliners emerged from the much lamented early-90's Irish rock scene with more cred and more critical acclaim than most. A number of UK chart singles, tours with The Go-Betweens and the House of Love (A House were actually supported along the way by Radiohead, Blur, The Charlatans and Sleeper ) and a devilishly controversial hit single, Endless Art have cemented the bands place in history, not just locally but internationally. In 1997, an emotional, tear filled and jam-packed Olympia Theatre, Dublin, witnessed the bands final performance. Since then, Front man (and chief ironist) Dave Couse, has released two critically acclaimed albums ( Genes - Beep Beep and The World Should Know - 1969 Records ) and a number of singles. Check out Dave Couse's Website Dave Couse's Website for updates and tour news. Also, a retrospective best-of A House, 'The Way We Were' was released by Setanta and EMI in 2002. That year an A House track, 'Here come the good times' was chosen by national radio listeners to be the official song to the Irish World Cup soccer team. This track duly went to number 1 in the charts
