In 1980, Kevin Shields and Colm Ó Cíosóig started as members of the band The Complex along with Dave Conway and Liam Ó Maonlaí, who left the group in 1983 leaving the three remaining members to form My Bloody Valentine. In 1985, Liam (vocals, keyboards, guitar) started busking with old schoolmate Fiachna Ó Braonáin (guitar, vocals). When fellow street performer Peter O'Toole (bass) joined the group, it marked the beginning of Hothouse Flowers. Leo Barnes (saxophone) and Jerry Fehily (drums) rounded out the band's early lineup. The Flowers stood out with their gospel and celtic infused rock and quickly made their name as "the best unsigned band in Europe". This publicity quickly turned around the band's fortunes, and they would release their debut album People in 1988. The album went down as the best-selling debut by an Irish artist in Ireland.
Here is the discography surrounding Hothouse Flowers's debut album:
