After releasing their debut single ‘Zaza’, “a hooky, upbeat and original tune, which doesn't rely on trying try to be, or sound like anyone else“ Musicreview.ie in early 2008 they were signed to Dublin label 1969 Records.

Their second single ‘Don't you want to be loved by me’ was described by Hot Press as "a bittersweet, perfectly formed morsel of endearing power pop that's instantly appealing" and received airplay on Today fm, 2fm, and Phantom fm.

This summer, they released their third single ‘Guy Like Me’ to a packed Whelans main venue and followed it up with an appearance on RTE's "Saturday Night With Miriam" show.

Having cut their teeth live supporting the likes of Republic of Loose, Fight Like Apes, and Ham Sandwich, The Gandhis are ...

"ones to watch as the year progresses.....could be just the tonic for the times" Hot Press
"a sweet delight" Evening Herald
"a great night out is always guaranteed at their gigs" News Of The World
"a band who are sure to draw attention in the coming year" Frequency Ireland.

Following the demise of Lucan's most loved sh*t band 'Hoochie Mama and The Emperors of Funk', Cullo and Mac decided to embark on a new musical project. Despite being born eternally afflicted with the hands of Geremy Beadle, Cullo decided to progress from shaking tambourines and singing badly to playing the bass averagely. Mac still refused to actually learn how to play a guitar but somehow managed to craft a few nice tunes.

The two lads combined their forces but the results were pretty sh*t bar a few nice pop-dittys. Meanwhile Dunboyne's favourite son Deasy had been trailblazing his band 'Urban Funk Explosion' around Dublin with a mixture of brown note jazzy blues and a whiter shade of pale reggae.Brought together by a shared love of The Coral's first album, Deasy came on board and the 3 lads worked at some songs with pleasing results. Despite their new found confidence, there was something lacking, they needed a man born of the sticks and skins. Rumours began to circulate around Lucan of a drummer with fine ability, chiseled abbs and a keener than keen eye for the ladies.

The newly formed triple entente found themselves with an important decision to make. It would break all protocol to recruit a pin-up drummer to a band of self confessed vultures who had made a lifetime of preying on unsuspecting vulnerable women. People on the street said he had been a drifter, a wise guy, a lovable rogue, a man of primal instincts, but above all else he was 'just Bazz'. Arguments raged, chips may have been thrown and then...he was part of the family.

In a divine moment of spiritual beauty they changed their name to The Gandhis. 'The Power Of 4' was quickly written and sold to the British and Irish lions tour for a crate of dutchy and some coors light for mac. It was a start.
