A House’s first two singles ‘Kick Me Again Jesus’ and ‘Snowball Down’ (both 1987) were released on the band’s independent label, RIP, but in the same year A House signed to UK-based Blanco-Y-Negro (a subsidiary of WEA Records). Two albums were released via the major label: their debut, On Our Big Fat Merry-Go-Round (1988) and I Want Too Much (1990).

Due to a perceived lack of commercial success of the albums, A House were dropped. Soon after, however, the band (now augmented by extra members) signed to London-based and Irish-aligned independent label Setanta. Two Eps were released on Setanta (1990’s Doodle and Bingo in 1991), followed by the third album in 1991 -  I Am The Greatest. Two more albums on Setanta were released: Wide Eyed And Ignorant (1994), and No More Apologies (1996).

A House are set to play Vicar Street on the 12th of December!
