Plan 9

Although it sounds as though it was conceived in a Tarantino-esque netherworld, this EP was in fact recorded largely in the deepest darkest wilds of Donnybrook. Recorded originally for John Kelly’s ‘Mystery Train’, and featuring ex-Pogues bassist Cait O’Riordain on vocals, ‘Plan 9’ is a nicely roughshod work that draws influences from a mind-boggling myriad of influences, among them mod-punk and country. In all, this latest offering boasts an energy and lust for life that belies their ‘elder statesmen’ reputation.
