Discography

• Big John / Funken Chicken
7" - Purple Hearse Music - PH-1 - 1984 - PS, insert

Notes:
A-side by McKay, B-side by O'Doherty. Jo O'Doherty also designed the sleeve. Produced by Terry Cromer at Maynooth, 1984.

Pressed on ultra-thin, I-can't-believe-it's-not-a-flexi vinyl. No label information as such; the contact address is in Donnybrook. Favourably reviewed in Hot Press. "Big John" is about John DeLorean; "Funken Chicken" is an instrumental jam.

"The A-side reminds me very much of post Steely Dan types, like Those Nervous Animals, perhaps? The b-side is about as near as an Irish band has come to "rare groove" territory courtesy of a roaring autoharp and some aimless flute."--The Failed Bohemian
