The Pale are an Irish band of varying genres including rock, and indie.

They were formed in Dublin in 1990, with Matthew Devereux on vocals, Shane Wearen on mandolin, Sean Molloy on bass, and a drum machine.

They released a debut album on A&M Records in 1992 called Here's One We Made Earlier. The debut album and live shows received critical praise internationally. The singles from that debut were "Dogs With No Tails", "Butterfly", and "Shut Up Venus". The former peaked at No. 51 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1992.[1]

As the group have toured they have added and subtracted instruments and players to the line-up.

The Pale recorded two mini albums called Why Go Bald and The Happy Ring House. Both titles for were taken from neon signs in Dublin, one on Dame Lane[2] and the other on O'Connell Street in Dublin.
