About Me

Nude As The News
Icewagon Flu
"More bastard songs of Shane out to get you ossified, then screw your wives and your daughters. Beware of these Icewagonmen bearing gifts."
- Larry Kirwan, Black 47
"With so many bands out there trying to find something new and unique for a signature sound, it seems that Icewagon FLU is headed in the right direction. They’re a little Frank Zappa, Bruce Springsteen and The Police, Irish Rovers and Bob Marley. These Hobokenites’ off-beat humor and first-rate musicianship will surely crack your pan.
- Joe Ross
"If you’ve ever been blown away by fresh instrumentation, and unique song writing that makes most of the crap on the radio seem as generic and flavorless as it really is, you will definitely be able to appreciate the FLU."
- Rob Aneiva, XM Satellite Radio
"Think of The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys crossed with Hothouse Flowers and Revenge of the Nerds."
- John Murphy, Shite ’n’ Onions
"Behind these two versatile vocalists is one hell of a versatile band, bopping back and forth between traditional Irish music, George Thorogood-type stomp rockers, straight-up blues and even a bit of David Lee Roth-era Van Halen."
- Rodeo Rob, Nude As The News
