The Boomtown Rats,
Back to Boomtown!
Vicar Street,
12th & 13th October.
Following their stunning performance at Live @ the Marquee, Cork last Friday, The Boomtown Rats have announced 2 shows at Dublin’s Vicar St on Oct 12 & 13. Bob Geldof said “We can’t wait to get back to Boomtown. The best way to see a band like ours is up close and sweaty in a club like Vicar St.”
Once famously described as ‘licentious, festering reprobates’ and ‘leprous anti-establishment scumbags’ and banned from playing in their home country, it’s difficult to overestimate the shock and awe The Boomtown Rats inspired in late 70s Ireland. The Rats set out to “disrupt, disturb and question what it meant to be young in the Ireland of the mid-70s”.
Formed in 1975 in Dublin The Boomtown Rats exploded out of Ireland in ’76 and their fast, loud, furious music and their fast loud furious attitude meant they became part of the burgeoning punk scene. Singer Bob Geldof’s defiant motormouth arrogance and flagrant disrespect for authority endeared him and his band to every youth who felt weighed down by the heavy handed blandishments of church and state. In the UK The Boomtown Rats first toured with the Ramones and Talking Heads rocking and mocking the status quo alongside the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam and The Stranglers. They became one of the biggest bands of the late 70s/80s with a string of top ten hits and platinum albums, earning them Brit Awards, Ivor Novellos and Grammy Awards. Making history as the first Irish band to have a UK no 1 hit with ‘Rat Trap’, they went on to top the charts in 32 Countries with ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’ and racked up 6 era-defining albums: ‘The Boomtown Rats’ (’77), ‘A Tonic For The Troops’ (’78), ‘The Fine Art Of Surfacing’ (’79), ‘Mondo Bongo’ (’80), ‘V Deep’ (’82) and ‘In The Long Grass’ (’84).
Says Bob: “Age, curiosity and cash prompted our interest in getting together again. Age and cash are self evident. Curiosity about each other and what we did together in the ’70’ and 80’s. Curiosity about those songs that seem to have endured and the music and band that powered them. When I sang again Rat Trap, Looking After No 1, Mondays, Someone’s Looking At You, Banana Republic, She’s So Modern etc, there was nothing I would change. On re-hearing, on re-singing them I understood that they could have been written yesterday. The circumstances within which they were written hadn’t changed. Tragically and unfortunately I could sing those words with utter conviction. This isn’t nostalgia, rather perhaps a time to be angry again. Time to go back to Boomtown. If only for a short while…”
The Boomtown Rats will release a new hits collection on August 5th ’13. Entitled ‘Back To Boomtown: Classic Rats’ Hits’ it will feature all of the band’s celebrated hits including ‘Lookin After No 1’, ‘Like Clockwork’, ‘She’s So Modern’, ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’ and ‘Rat Trap’ – songs with an immediacy and a message that is as pertinent today as it was when they were written – plus two new songs recorded by the newly re-formed Rats. The full tracklisting of the album will be –
1. The Boomtown Rats!
2. Mary Of The 4th. Form
3. (I Never Loved) Eva Braun

You’re Welcome for the Music
The Reunion / Farewell Show
Vicar Street
20th September, 2013.
After five years touring every major comedy festival in the world, multi-award winning comedy-rock powerhouse Dead Cat Bounce are finally hanging up their leopard print trousers. On 20th September 2013, all four members will reunite for the first time in almost two years and take to the stage for their last ever show.
Part rock band, part international comedy sensation, part four guys who have spent an uncomfortable amount of time together, Dead Cat Bounce have toured the world relentlessly, becoming one of the most exciting live comedy acts on the planet. They have performed their rocking stage show to packed houses and critical acclaim at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Sydney Comedy Festival, the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, the Kilkenny Cat Laughs, the Dublin Fringe and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe; where they were the house band at the legendary Late’n’Live Show.
Dead Cat Bounce made their TV debut in January of 2009, with their pilot airing as part of RTÉ’s Project Ha Ha. Since then they have appeared on regularly TV shows and Galas on RTÉ, Channel 4, BBC and on channels in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The video for their song “Rugby” went on to become one of the most watched internet videos in Ireland for 2011, clocking over a million views on YouTube. Their first feature film, “Discoverdale” is currently winning awards at film festivals all over the globe.
They are probably the only act in the world who have supported both Jason Manford and the Darkness.
They return to Vicar Street for one spectacular night to leave it all on the stage.
As seen on RTÉ 2’s Republic of Telly, Channel 4, BBC 3 and BBC Comedy online.
Winner of the Time Out Jury Prize, Sydney Comedy Festival 2010.
Winner of the People’s Choice Award, Sydney Comedy Festival 2011.

Dead Cat Bounce split
End of the line for Irish comedy band
Irish comedy rock band Dead Cat Bounce are splitting up.
The group will perform a farewell show in Dublin in September where they will be rejoined by former member Mick Cullinan.
Despite disbanding, James Walmsley, Demian Fox and Shane O’Brien will continue to work together. They are currently writing their second film, following the success of their low-budget ‘guerilla mockumentary’ Discoverdale.
Bassist O’Brien attributed the split to homesickness and fatigue with ‘the cycle of gigs’ across Ireland, the UK and Australia.
‘The last year we’ve focused on writing, so we weren’t really touring’ he said. ‘We realised that actually, we don’t have the appetite for the live side anymore, it was starting to get repetitive.
‘The movie felt like a logical conclusion for the act, so rather than keep milking it or let it fizzle out, we thought we’d do one big farewell, get Mick back in, and call it a day.
‘It’s not really a sad ending. We wanted to end it with a big show rather than just decide at the end of a shit gig: “That’s it!”
‘We all just wound up not enjoying it for different reasons, or some enjoying it more than others. It was starting to get difficult living in six places at once, because we were splitting our time between here, four cities in Australia and gigging in the UK. It was impossible to have a home.’
Keyboardist Cullinan left two years ago, but is returning for the September 20 gig at Vicar Street. The band are promising a special send-off, though ‘at this point just getting the gig organised has been a victory’.
‘Because we’ve played Vicar Street a few times before, we’ve got to do something different,’ says O’Brien. ‘We’ve had pyrotechnics and all sorts of nonsense before, so it’ll be something equally big with the idea that we can “leave it all” on stage.’
Singer and guitarist Walmsley performed his debut solo show, Don’t Swim With Killer Whales, at the Sydney Comedy Festival last month and is bringing it to The Worksman’s Club in Dublin on July 11.
Dead Cat Bounce was the latest incarnation of a writing team established when Walmsley, Fox and O’Brien met at Dublin’s Trinity College in 2002 and co-founded the sketch group H-Bam.
They made their Edinburgh Fringe debut as Dead Cat Bounce in 2008 with a sketch show and live ‘radio play’, having brought in their director Cullinan as a fourth member, and gradually shifted from performing sketches to playing as a dysfunctional rock band.
They released three live albums and a charity single for Movember in 2010, Every Time You Shave A Moustache Dies, and shot several music videos for Irish broadcaster RTE, Channel 4 and BBC 3.
They made Discoverdale last year, a spoof documentary shot in the UK and Scandinavia tracing Walmsley’s attempts to meet his biological father, whom he believes is former Deep Purple vocalist and Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale.
Produced by This Is Jinsy’s Chris Carey and James Dean and directed by George Kane, who co-wrote the script with the band, the film won best narrative feature at this year’s Friars Club Comedy Film Festival in New York and picked up awards at the LA Comedy Festival, Nevada Film Festival and Edinburgh Bootleg Film Festival.
Coverdale threw his weight behind it too, ‘tweeting classic rock DJs in the US, telling them to mobilise people in New York to go down and see it,’ said O’Brien. ‘We had really big houses there because of it. He’s been great.’
Discoverdale will be showing as part of the East End Film Festival in London on July 6 and at the Galway Film Fleadh on July 12.
Walmsley, Fox and O’Brien are now finishing the script of their second feature, Tandem, funded by the Irish Film Board, about a middle-aged man with a terminal illness who convinces his best friend to cycle around Ireland on a tandem bike.

Is iad Colm Meaney, Donal O’Kelly and Brendan Conroy na príomhaisteoirí sa scannán seo faoi stiúir Tom Collins. Scéal seisear fear a chuaigh ar imirce go Sasana i lár na 70idí. Bhí siad lena saibhreas a dhéanamh agus le filleadh ar an mbaile arís. Tríocha bliain ina dhiaidh is i gcónra a fhilleann duine acu agus bailíonn a chairde ag an tórramh. Tá athrú mór ar an saol agus orthu féin ón gcéad lá a ndeachaigh siad ar a mbád bán.
D’fhéadfadh muid a bheith mar “kings” is iad na focail deireannach. (2007) http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_%2…
70ídí
Starring Colm Meaney, Donal O’Kelly and Brendan Conroy. Directed by Tom Collins. A universal story of disenfranchisement and search for identity. In the mid 1970s, a group of six young men left their homes in the West of Ireland, took the boat out of Dublin Bay and sailed across the sea to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning home. Thirty years later only one, Jackie Flavin, makes it home – but does so in a coffin. Jackie’s five friends reunite at his wake where they are forced to face up to the reality of their alienation as long term emigrants who no longer have any real place to call home.
