About Bubonique
An early 90's side-project of Fatima Mansions frontman Cathal Coughlan with comedian Sean Hughes and multi-media sidekick/writer Paul Jarvis. Released a handful of singles on the Kitchenware label (Screw/Monogamy I'm Going To Kick Your Head In; and Summer The First Time) as well as two albums "20 Golden Showers" in 1993 and "Trance Arse Volume 3" in 1995. Intended as a light-hearted / satirical venture, much of their material consists of scabrous irreverance and gratuitous obscenity: lampooning all manner of rock aristocrats (Elvis, Bono, Bowie, Axl Rose, Michael Stipe, Nick Cave, George Michael, etc...) and taking a sledgehammer to sacred cows in music, film and literature..... There are even ironic tributes to the likes of Charles Manson, Frank Sinatra, Casey Kasem and JG Ballard thrown in for good measure.... Short lived though the project was, it was nevertheless a mildly entertaining diversion from the full-on fire-and-brimstone bile-fest of prime Fatima Mansions.
