about
Headed by front man Rí-Rá, Mr Browne,DjMek, Dada Sloosh, they have supported U2 (as did Marxman), and opened for acts such as Madness, Beastie Boys and House of Pain. They had a track ("Lost for Words") on the 1993 album Planet Rap from Tommy Boy. They recorded a debut album that included production from Howie B, Tricky, Cutmaster Swift, DJ Mek and Sam Scuttery-Eye; they were then dropped by Island Records, who kept the rights to the album but did not release it. In 1995 Scary Éire reappeared on London independent label 11 Records and released "Dole Q"/"That's No Good To Me" on 12". The former song is about their various encounters on dole day and the latter a rugged, frenzied cypher. In March 2007, the group released The Scary Era - a collection of songs from the pre-Celtic Tiger years which had been 16 years in the waiting.
