Crafty Crimson Cats
Crafty Crimson Cats are Dundalk’s hottest new all-brunette, 18-19 year old, 5-piece, alliteration obsessed band. The impetus for initiation of the instrumental endeavour (oh yeah) came from guitarists Conor and Cormac; arguably the greatest musical pairing since Sonny and Cher. Since the chaps are studying Not Much (a.k.a. Communications,) they've had plenty of time to fantasise about what leading a groupie-boning cocaine-fuelled rock’n’roll lifestyle would be like. This fancy pleased the pondering perverts no end so they set about looking for others to join them betwixt (it’s a word) jamming sessions. Upon encountering one drunken Mr.John P.Clarke (Spirit Store barmaid, walking contagion and local celebrity of some repute,) Conor asked him to – “Prithee be in our band, comely lass, I beseech thee,” faced with the silver-tongued rogue (gel-pen accident,) Clarke had no choice but to acquiesce to his request and bang the skins.
The bones of the cats were in place, all that they lacked was the fur and the wet bits...
John kindly brought his mot to practice one day, against the wishes of Conor, the horrible misogynist and to the thrill of Cormac, who doesn’t get out much. She exhibited a degree of proficiency at singing, playing the violin, pianoboard and xylophone, so she stayed. Her name’s Aoibheann by the way, she’s the one with the long hair. Niall, the final piece of the puzzle soon followed. When not fiddling with his volume knob (ahem) or hobnobbing with the Sheikh of Dubai, he has been known to play a little bass guitar.
That’s the tail, I mean tale, lol, of Crafty Crimson Cats and you might see them at a gig sometime, if John hasn’t passed out, sorry – ‘fallen asleep,’ again...
