There is more than one artist with this name: 1. Stand are four lads from Dublin, Ireland who got a taste of the United States on a trip in to play Austin’s SXSW Festival. Awed at the prospect of limitless venues, they made the move and headquartered themselves out of New York in 2002. Having come to the attention of a NACA booking agent, they built a solid following in the Northeast, being voted Best Band on that NACA college circuit in both 2005 and 2006.
