Bio:

Obscure glam rock band from Limerick whose lineup included comedian Jon Kenny. Some consider them as forerunners of punk rock (especially those trying to flog their singles on ebay!) and "Stood Up" is usually described as being their best in this regard, but knowing punk rock collectors this could simply be because it's the only one that came in a picture sleeve! John Kenny is now better known as comedian Jon Kenny
