A five piece a cappella group made up of Fearghal McKee (Whipping Boy), Van the Man (Them), Phil Linnot (Thin Lizzy), Sir Bob (Boomtown Rats) and Conor O’Brien (Villagers).
Inevitably called:

My ultimate Irish supergroup would comprise brian downey on drums, noel redding on bass, rory gallagher on guitar and bob geldof vocals and I would call them ‘bitch slap’.
or maybe ‘rat fuzztone and the pentatonics’.
or donal lunny, luke kelly, christy moore, john sheahan, john joe kelly and liam og o’flynn. and i’d call them ‘the bowsy chancers’.
…Donal Lunny, Christy Moore and Davy Spillane with a big brass section and call them Moving Hearts…
+1 I was about to make the same suggestion.
My ultimate Irish Super Group would comprise meself in the Cher role – vocal and tamborine, Johnny Preposterous on Guitar like Glen Campbell, the Adam Clayton on Bass would be Bertie, with Batty going full Animal on Drums and we’d be called the The Tops of the Town All-Stars Roadshow Revival
We’d be managed by LCD

[ CENSORED]
The Psychotic Reaction
Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney/The Fatima Mansions) – Vocals
Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) – Guitar
Cait O’Riordan (The Pogues) – Bass Guitar
Eamon Carr (Horslips) – Drummer
Jeremy Hickey (RSAG) – Drummer
(I’m going for the double drummer – full on Adam & the Ants Burundi effect)
Donnacha Costello – Vintage Synths/Electronic effects (check out last year’s “Mouvements” if you haven’t already done so)
(Brigid Mae Power, Lisa O’Neill & Katie Kim on backing vocals)
Named after “Psychotic Reaction”, one of the greatest garage rock anthems of them all by San Diego’s Count Five, fronted by Crumlin’s John “Sean” Byrne. In deference to the origin of the band’s name, The Psychotic Reaction will have to don full length high-collared vampire capes. (I may have thought about this too much)
I don’t reckon Cait is Irish is she?
This from the man who wanted Gallagher and Marr in his band!!! Now, now, it’s my band! SCREAMS In FULL ON PETER GRANT (in Song Remains the Same) mode: “Talk to me, they’re my band, nobody messes with my band, have some self respect, they’re my band.”
I think I take particular exception because she was such an awful bass player!
Feck it, I’m having Kate Bush so :)
Cathal and Kevin, yeah…2 good shouts…
…but when it comes to Cait I’m with Bertie.
Get the Populism OUT of pop music, please.
The ultimate Irish supergroup – I would pay good money to see this line-up:
Moya Brennan on vocals, Declan O’Rourke on vocals and guitar
Neil Hannon on piano, lyrics
David Holmes on keyboards and decks
Martin Hayes on fiddle
Emmaline Duffy-Fallon (of the great “Engine Alley”!) on drums
Joe Wall (“The Stunning”) on bass
Their name: “Tonight We Fly”
Boom!
Me on bongos.
Your granny on drugs.
Ridiculous haircuts and no talent…
What could go wrong?
The debacle is disingenuous
The debate is over.
I should write a limerick, to placate myself.
But I won’t.
Nothing rhymes with ‘swivel’.
-Your turn…
Drivel?
I fight ghostd.
Deal with it.
James Joyce on 20th century postmodernism, Eamon De Buitléar on to The Waters And The Wild, Marian Finucane on the radio, Eamon Dunphy on John Giles, Saoirse Ronan on that Galway Girl video, Sean Kelly on a bike, and The Lone Ranger on Trigger.
There are only seven things you should fight about publically on the Internet.
Three of them are numeracy, and I forget the other one.
Wait a minute…
my drug dealer wants to be in the band too. She doesn’t play an instrument but she’s fond of a fiddle and the grass is free.
I just roll with it.
Why would I do anything differently?
Why am I in fuppin moderation?
This a a road of boris. I not ever chirese. I am a numbel.
It’s a beautiful dayyy…
But is it really Bobo (out of Utwo)
It’s 3:15am.
It’s dark outside. I checked. You’re a lyin’ bollix.
I kno its either u orr the edge who runs thissite and you cansuck meknob yizladypartz, you and Louis Walsh, except Louis Walsh.
Oh Man…
The stories I could make up about U2 and their ignorant fuppwit of a manager who’s nameis Paul.
But this is 2017…
Ain’t nobody got time for that now!
He’s no Louis Walh.
ill shut up now.
go on, sure yer grand. Im just impersonating viper higgins. he will never get a capital letter offof me.
here’s a pair of breasties for you francis (.)(.)
I wish they were bigger too. fupp off.
Google ‘smart people with the surname Higgins’
You won’t get any results until you update your browser.
Only messing. The Viper is DEADLY.
I love that guy.
He can be my drummer.
Sorry.
I can’t stop laughing at the ‘Larry On Drums…’ part of the title.
It’s like saying, ‘Here’s my 5yr old niece… she’s on lead vocals’
$eriou$ly.
She writes the lyrics too.
I agree. Can Larry even lift?
I think his drumming on “stuck in a moment” is excellent… it kinda drifts over the top of the song.
I told him that in person a few months ago. (clunk name drop!)
“ah, I must be your favourite drummer” he laughed.
“sorry, it’s Clem from Blondie” says I.
“that’s cool, he’s better than me!”
true but dull story.
he’s a gent :)
I’ll have a listen again
He’s not a bad drummer but I always find the suggestion that he’s the most “musical” in the group somewhat risible. As if being able to keep time is the only thing a musician needs to really master.
if i may.
unless you’re incredibly proficient technically, a drummer’s most saleable skill is his ability to groove, to maintain what they call a ‘pocket’. quite a few drummers have it – phil rudd, hal blaine, john bonham etc. larry has it, in spades.
Im not even gay, but I kinda wish I was.
it feels wrong to suck myselfboff like this, with nobody watching…and not being vay or anything.
Its not right.
