Girls Names was a band from Belfast, Northern Ireland,[1] formed in 2009 by Cathal Cully and Neil Brogan.

In June of that year, they recorded a demo of the song "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" and contacted the Brooklyn-based indie label Captured Tracks.

Brogan performs his own material as a guitarist and vocalist in Sea Pinks and frequently enlisted Cully and Miskimmin on bass and drums respectively, for live shows between 2010 and 2012.

Brogan describes Sea Pinks' style as having "substituted Girls Names' shades of grey for a sunnier disposition and more stripped-down sound".

[12][13] Miskimmin and Brogan swap bass and guitar playing duties in Cruising along with Grimes on drums and singer Benni Johnson of Logikparty (who Cassidy also performed with).

[14] Gross Net is the solo industrial/electronic alias of Philip Quinn since the departure of founding member Christian Donaghey in 2015.

Quinn also performed in Charles Hurts, initially a solo project which later included Steven Henry on bass and Davey Agnew on drums.

Cathal Cully occasionally performs with Belfast psychedelic drone pop band Documenta, fronted by songwriter Joe Greene.
