The Thrills were formed some five years ago but have only just become famous, even though they told their parents that it would and had happened a long time ago. The Thrills started out with Conor and Daniel, later they drafted in schoolfriends Kevin and Ben adding Padraic later on to finish the line-up of the band. Thier main influences are: Frank Sinatra, The Band, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder.
For the first couple of years the Dublin born band spent their time learning how to be good musicians, they wrote songs and practiced at each others houses. Then in 1999 they formed a plan and relocated to San Diego for the summer. Their summer was spent song-writing, have a laugh and doing, basically, what boys do. When they got back to Dublin things had changed, they were no longer the same people they were when they left, they knew what they wanted and they were going to get it!
