LIR

LiR, a rock band formed in Dublin, Ireland, during the late 1980s, gained prominence through their live performances in the 1990s. Their initial releases included All Machines Hum in A (1992) and Magico Magico! (1993). In 1993, LiR signed with U.S. label What Are Records?, which intensified their touring schedule, playing extensively in North America from 1993 to 1997. During this period, they released the Nest (1995), This Appeared (1995), and 7000 Apes 600 (1997). Conflicts with management led to a hiatus until their live album Lir Live in 2008 under independent label 1969 Records. The band's story was documented in the film Good Cake Bad Cake: The Story of LIR directed by Shimmy Marcus, released in 2011 but later pulled from the Dublin International Film Festival due to legal disputes.
