About Me

Middleclass Housewives is a three piece rock band based in Limerick, Ireland. They consist of John Carroll on Guitar and vocals formerly of IIIMedicIII. Dave Carroll on drums formerly of CrashLander, Red Eskimo and Bank of Ireland and Rob Carey on bass from Red Eskimo.John and Dave met when Dave was born in 1979 and have been playing various forms of music since. Although, since those early days the sound of thumping dave's head has been replaced by drums and the sound of strumming the bars inside a prison cell has been replaced by guitars. Rob is the latest addition, his bass style can be visually represented as something similar to the scene with the glass of water from Jurassic Park... width="425" height="350" ..
