Bio:

Punk band formed by Ferdia MacAnna during the summer of madness in 1976. They performed just once, at UCD, and such was the curiosity about punk rock that a huge crowd turned up to see them play "Anarchy in Belfield" and "Fuck Bill Grundy". See Ferdia MacAnna's book The Rocky Years for more details.

Ferdia Mac Anna became Rocky De Valera fronting the Gravediggers and later the Rhythm Kings.
