Imagine Jack Kerouac and George Orwell incubated a test tube baby in muddy water and on its first birthday was adopted by Joe Strummer, who raised it on a steady diet of rock and roll and Dylan.
Then in its adolescent years it went to live with Uncle Thom and Aunt Muse in their fallout shelter in the California desert, who Clockwork Oranges, the poor child by brainwashing it with hypnotic and progressive rock music until the age of 16, when it ran away from home and hit the road to do some hypnotising of its own, then that baby might just be called The Deans.
The Deans will be playing at Róisín Dubh this Friday. Show starts at 8pm with tickets costing €10.
