about
Murder Plan Murder Plan are a vaudeville alternative blues band who wink a hint of chaotic mania. With songs & styles encompassing rock, tangos, Balkan gypsy sounds, blues & jazz, they mix & match motifs like a drunken arsonist in a Parisian police line-up. The band is made up of Stephanie O’ Keeffe (vocals), Dara Melinn (guitar), Paddy Lynch (drums), Donal Melinn (bass) and Cathal Melinn (piano). None of the Melinns are related to each other and their coming together to form the band is a funny story that they sometimes recount at live shows, though it’s not something they reveal on a regular basis. They’ve been playing together since May 2006 and still manage to hold down day jobs in the Adult entertainment industry while rocking like crazed geologists throughout the night. Influences come in the form of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Carl Orf, Scott Joplin, Astor Piazzolla to mention a few and their live performances tend to be classy, macabre affairs with a touch of humour and lots of energy for all to see.
