Bio:

New wave band influenced by The Cure, XTC and The Stranglers. They were around for a number of years and appeared on two local compilations, in 1980 and 1981, but never managed a release themselves. The band changed bassist a couple of times with Andrew Martin, Declan Lucas (1981), who later worked for RTE, and Joe Donnelly (circa 1981-82) all playing with the band at different times. Donal Coughlan was later in Hinterland.
