![]() WED. 8/20 HOTHOUSE FLOWERS The Hothouse Flowers story is what legends are made of: busking on the streets of Dublin in 1985...attracting the attention of Bono and U2's Mother Records...creating a huge buzz with their expansive, passionate brand of Irish-rooted rock'n'soul...being named "The Best Unsigned Band In Europe" by Rolling Stone...signing a deal with London Records...three albums...world tours...adulation...the whole nine yards! Then, in 1994, they decided to take a year off to try to tame the whirlwind that their lives had become -- a year which turned into several as they rediscovered their families & their lives, and explored a variety of musical pathways. When they got back together, they decided to strip back down to the essentials and continued to rebuild and reinvent themselves over the next few years. |
