Superb!!!!! I hadn't heard this name -or thought about this band- for a long long time. Thank you for the tremendous reminder!

EDIT: just looked them up to see what they're doing..."Today, Niall O’Flaherty is a lecturer in the History of European Political Thought at King's College London,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sultans_of_Ping#cite_note-9"><span>[</span>9<span>]</span></a> specialising in 18th and 19th century thinkers such as Thomas Robert Malthus and Charles Darwin."
Hahaha wonderful!
My half-Irish heritage is beaming with pride!

And one other thing, I saw them live probably about 10 times and they used to do this thing where they'd get everyone to lie on their backs kicking their legs in the air half way through a set, most memorably for me at Marquee, a tourist gig with some very confused but ultimately delighted Americans.

Wow wow wow! I saw many shows at the OG Marquee in Wardour St, THIS sounds like a great experience. Never saw them, and what you saw sounds fantastic!!!

That is also the most Irish thing ever, like an accidental genius, just sort of stumbled into it, "yeah I used to be in a band but Nietzche
was my true calling"

I think you've probably got ten years on me, the Marquee in my gig days was on Tottenham Court Road, which I assume it still is, one of the best live venues in my opinion.

I love Frank Turner. One of my favourite lyrics ever is " the only thing that punk rock was ever meant to be was not sitting around and waiting for the lights to go green"
He was the Xfm darling for a time and sort of died or maybe I stopped paying attention, either way that lyric alone will always keep my respect.
