Bio:

The Passion Machine was a theatre company. Their first production was a musical called Drowning, written by Paul Mercier. It was staged at the now defunct SFX in Dublin. The main character was played by Joe Savino (Max Quad Band, B.T.'s). The part of "Da" was played by Brendan Gleeson. The single was released to promote the show. The musicians involved included Dave Sweeney (Max Quad Band, The Vipers, etc) on guitar and Dave Bell (The Epidemix) on drums.

The musical was revived about 10 years after its first run and played the Olympia, Dublin and also toured to Glasgow (if this was the reason for the Solid Records reissue of the A-side, it was 6-7 years later).
