Style: Cajun/Tex-Mex

Lineup:

Bio:

Cajun/Tex-Mex band formed by ex Rhythm Kings guitarist Richie Taylor and Mark Venner. Also with Peter O'Sullivan of the Stars of Heaven and possibly Lovely Previn of In Tua Nua though the latter is unconfirmed. The band was regularly expanded to include many more musicians on various instruments and made live appearances well into the '90s, including famously supporting Frankie Miller and Ronnie Wood, who played with the band at the Hackney Empire in London, in February 1991.

The band recorded a single with The Century Steel Band from Coventry, who were very popular in Ireland. "Take It Easy" has a reggae/calypso/steel band feel. The B-side "Fine Fine Fine" recorded with Paul Cleary is rockabilly/cajun.

Spawned the Cajun Kings.
