Bio:
Formed in early 1982 by Gerry Donohoe (drums) and Paul O'Rourke (bass, ex
Side FX, Neu Belsen, The Threat, also in Driver)
who wrote most of the songs,
with Sid O'Byrne (guitar) and Big Kev on vocals. Sid's
older brother Des O'Byrne joined the band as a sideline to his
Golden Horde work, adding some discipline and
filling out Sid's lead guitar with rhythm guitar (another brother Hugh 'Skinny' O'Byrne played
drums in Aidan Walsh's backing band The Screaming Eagles). They recorded a 4 song demo at
Rubber Studios.
They played at the "Let's Get Serious 2" punk festival held at the TV Club
on the 30 September 1983 featuring the cream of Dublin's punk bands at the
time plus headliner Conflict.
The band almost lined up a tour of Holland but it fell through due to their
slackness and fondness for partying. Sid O'Byrne later formed
Search And Destroy.
Rocky and Sid now reside in the US, while Gerry is in Sydney.
The band appeared on TV (RTE) (details, anyone?). There's at least one
unrecorded song, "Evo Stik", by Big Kev. Other songs (apart from those
on the demio) include "Double Standards" and "War".
The bands name was sometimes listed as Na-psalm Sunday.
There was never a drummer named 'Aido', this was a misprint in a fanzine.
