DUBLIN

2005 -

OVERVIEW Known as Soma until November 2005, The Kybosh are pretty young as bands go; in fact, they’ve only existed in their current form since the summer of 2005, when Anthony Doyle perched his arse on the vacant drumstool. In doing this, he joined founding siblings Rob and Donal Cumiskey, as well as lead guitarist Brian Higgins, thus completing the line-up of a band who would rapidly make their mark on the Dublin scene. Having twice featured in the Evening Herald – once in July as Soma, when their song Starry Eyed featuring as the top entry on weekly downloads column Burn Baby Burn, and again in November when Rob and Donal were interviewed about their musical tastes for the miPod column – the band have clearly begun to make their waves, despite the lack of a particularly heavy gigging schedule. That’s yet to come, you see. But if these last few months have been anything to go by, when The Kybosh are finally unleashed in all their power and glory, the stage has been set for one hell of an explosion onto an already vibrant Dublin scene. 2005 - Soma decide on a name change and The Kybosh are born 2007 - Release of 'Rubicon' single [February] 2008 - Release of 'Until We Are Lost' album [23 October] 2009 - Release of 'Live At Futurism' EP as a free download [23 March] 2010 - Release of 'Ignorance' EP [06 October]
