Gems from the 1980's

Anyone remember a really crazy Irish band on the Late Late back in the day, they all had their faces masked and were rolling around the stage and trashing instruments and such? I loved seeing the gobsmacked faces of elderly folk in the audience!

Can't for the life of me remember their name and it's even possible they could have been early 90s. Any ideas?

The Poppies on the Late Late was just wrong on a number of levels

Forgot that band ever existed, used to really like this one.

I see they are back together and have a new album out.

Sounds a bit like this pappy, but was neither Irish nor the 1980's.

It was when they played in the Tivoli in Dublin in March of 1995 as I was at the gig myself. Support was by S*M*A*S*H if anyone remembers them.

I have been listening to some old vinyl tonight and one record I pulled out was Genesis Genesis from (I think) 1983.

One or two very good tracks, in particular Mama.
