The Amazing Few are more of a collective then a band but more like a movement then a collective!  They Play psycho-POP. This group of like-minded separate individuals, have been collected over the course of the last six years. The songs are expressive and explosive! The music pulls from Ska, Jazz, Punk, Pop, using dramatic chord progressions with up beat energy while throwing out powerful twists of lyrical tales.

The band write songs about everyday situations, bank robberies gone right, love lost, loved gained, people run over by vans on highway 89a and anything that moves.

Songs like Bruce Lee Movie describes the first 4 min 32 seconds of “ Fists of Fury” and Russian Girls is a love story about girl meets a boy, boy grows up and meets the lady and chases her to India. Ric O’ Barry is about the famous dolphin (Flipper) trainer and his flight to save dolphins (he actually flew in from Florida to see the band perform in Dublin) Each song is a story describe through theatrics in music.
The Amazing Few live shows are a must see it to believe it experience.  Interaction is an understatement. Their enthusiasm has made them a festival favorite! Each show is completely different.

The band’s wildly different, excitable songwriting has been compared to The B-52′s,The Clash, Presidents of the United States of America, Frank Zappa, Pavement, Frank Black, The Mouldy Peaches, Heavy Vegetable, Weezer and Beastie Boys but with horns.

What the press say:

"Weird and wonderful "
The Metro

“The Amazing Few are a brilliant live band they really get the crowd going"
The Irish Times

"These guys are a true indie band. Not doing it for money, fame or anything other than the love of playing music. They've been doing the rounds around Ireland for years now, and have moved up in the world playing cool festivals around Europe. If they're ever playing near you, go see them. It's a real spectacle to see live"
Pretentious indie boys

"…this set was dramatic and vastly entertaining, their stage presence was performative, visual, spectacular, and full of those cool mood-enhancing ska-like brass outbursts" - Claire Rushe Connected Magazine

"Imagine the Juno soundtrack gone wild, heaps of people crammed onto a stage, brass instruments mixed with guitars and drums, a narrator and a vocalist, all in a barrage of balloons, silly string, card tricks and plain ole, uninhibited fun. This is The Amazing Few, and they are a wonderfully weird and wacky, Dublin–based delight.” - Eimear Duignan, Note media

The band burst onto the music scene in May 2008 with the release of the Into the Light EP, which was received with critical acclaim by Hotpress Magazine who described the EP as an "impressive statement of intent". Since then the band have been gaining recognition, releasing two more singles and touring.
DC Tempest has built up a reputation for being one of Ireland's finest live acts. The band have shared the stage with such acts as The Coronas, Codes, Oliver Cole, Razorlight, Bon Jovi, The Chapters, The Aftermath, Republic of Loose, Kid Rock, Dark Room Notes, The Flaws (and many more) and earned a slot on the Live Stage at the celebrated Hotpress Music Show in the RDS by way of public vote (hotpress.com).
Having taken a 12 month break from the live circuit, the band returned in April 2010 with a number of amazing gigs showcasing a new sound which, have included appearances at Life Festival, Vantastival, NPLD Festival and Indiependence Festival to name but a few. Along with a string of shows in Liverpool's historic Cavern Club, lead singer Alan Starr's Troubadour sessions in New York and a number of shows in Latvia the band has once again been established as one of the must-see independent live acts to come from Dublin.
The band release their eagerly awaited new 5 track EP entitled ‘Cities’ in April 2011.

The fourth full-length from BROODS, Space Island is an exploration of grief and all its many dimensions. In keeping with the New Zealand-bred duo’s unfettered imagination—an element they’ve brought to multiple platinum-and gold-certified records so far—the album’s 10 tracks exist in a surprisingly radiant sonic realm, its aesthetic equally inspired by ’60s sci-fi B-movies and the balmy exotica of composers like Les Baxter.The most high-concept output yet from BROODS—a ten-time New Zealand Music Award-winning act who’ve amassed over a billion streams to date, collaborated with the likes of Lorde and Tove Lo, toured with HAIM and Taylor Swift, and taken the stage at major festivals such asCoachella and Lollapalooza—Space Island came to life during a period of serious upheaval for lead vocalist Georgia Nott. Having married at the age of 21, she went through a difficult divorce soon after the release of BROODS’ previous album Don’t Feed the Pop Monster(a 2019 effort that led to appearances on“Late Night with Seth Meyers” and“The Late Late Show with James Corden”). As Georgia turned to songwriting as a means of processing her grief, she and her brother/bandmate Caleb Nott discovered an unlikely but wholly fitting vessel for that emotional outpouring: the album’s gorgeous constellation of otherworldly beats, swooning guitar tones, and effervescent synth lines. As a result, Space Island introduces a dazzling new intensity into BROODS’ atmospheric indie-pop while providing a powerful conduit for catharsis.
