Party Weirdo
Cara Holmes and Emily Aoibheann met as memebers of Dublin band Pinboy Skinny.
Emily chanced on belfast emigree Therese McKenna at a mutual friends party in Cork and the
weirdness began. The three played their first gig on June 25th 2006 on Cara's home turf, "The Spirit Store"
in Dundalk, and since then they've been bouncing along busily, playing a rake of gigs across Ireland, England,
Germany and Poland.
Lineup:
Cara Holmes: vocals, guitar, synth, bass
Therese McKenna: bass, vocals, flute, cello, glockenspiel, guitar
Emily Aoibheann: drums, synth, vocals, bass

Reviews:
"{Party Weirdo are} an enlightening amalgam of musical experimentation, toy instruments, feminist expressionism and performance art; how gleeful to behold something that goes so against the grain of the usual ‘four blokes, four chords’ production-line indie rubbish."
- Johnnie C. of soundsxp
"nice hard hitting no wave sounds meets a bit of the anger led riot grrrl sound with just a hint of guitar heavy punk funk thrown in, try to imagine a modern take on the no wave diy sounds of the early eighties meets the disjointed guitar heavy sounds of the likes of sleater kinney."
