The Anorak
Adventure have been silent for a long time. Their
logo gives a fair indication of their need to maintain
a low profile. Their motto Who gives a shit
provoked some adverse reaction when it featured prominently
on a poster for their 50 Irish Party Songs CD in 1993.
Earlier they had released a song about Gay Byrne entitled
They Say That He's God which found less than best
favor at the national broadcasting center. Their mini-album
Scoring in the USA reached # 2 in the Irish charts
in 1994 when Ireland last qualified for the World Cup.
What is extraordinary about this is the mini-album was
only released on cassette tape. In those days the long
lead time for a small independent label meant our soccer
heroes would be back home from the USA a week before a
CD was available. The delay most certainly cost the AA
the # 1 spot. But so what !! The Anorak Adventure have
a motto for dealing with situations like that.
So now they're
at it again, messing around with Tom Donovan's single
Homeland of the Brave.
