CRUEL SEAMUS

About Me

formed in 1953 as an antidote to the communist infiltration in the entertainment industry, Cruel Seamus led the forefront of the frontrunners of the founders of the innovators of the fathers of spiritually debauched jazz fusion reggae funk soul music.they were split up by mccarthyism and reformed in 2006 as an irish rock band.kevin doyle on guitar is the straw that stirs the drink, though sometimes he is the drink. tom dunphy on bass is the straw that broke the camel's back. john shea on drums is the straw that metaphorically played the drums.special guests to the band have included: dennis mccarthy from shilelagh law, pat robinson from the itinerants, and this guy from the city about noise complaints from the neighbors.
