Bio:
Indiepop quartet from Donegal, previously active as The Malfunctions.
John Kane was the main songwriter, followed by Michael Christie. Stephen Gallagher replaced Patsy O'Kane on
bass and appears on the album.
Best known for their delicious debut single "Sends Me High", a classic of it's kind. It was briefly #1 in
Ireland before being disqualified for what were considered suspiciously large sales in their local area.
Which is a tragedy as it's easily the best home grown #1 single of the 90s. The subsequent album didn't
quite match expectations but is well worth hearing, if you can find it.
Why their records aren't as desperately sought after as most of the Sarah Records catalogue is beyond me.
If anyone has a bio, I'm all ears.
