DCB Press ShotDead Cat Bounce are an international rock & roll comedy supergroup made up of Mick Cullinan (keys), Demian Fox (drums), Shane O’Brien (bass), and James Walmsley (guitars, lead vocals). We write songs in a variety of styles, from hip-hop slow jams to 80s stadium rock anthems, all performed in tight trousers with smoke machines and a lot of rock posturing.

Technically we live in Dublin, but when you make music your mistress, as we have, you have to spend a lot of time with her unattractive friend, the road. We’ve toured all over the world but highlights so far have been the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Kilkenny Cat Laughs, London’s Big Joke Festival, the Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Bulmer’s International Comedy Festival.

Here are some nice things people have said about us…

“An exercise in studied brilliance, nailing every music genre from hair metal to power ballad to R&B” -  The Irish Times

“Tightly written… flawless timing… barnstorming.” -  The Sunday Times

“Each member of the group is an incredible musician and comedian… These brilliant boys redefine rock’n’roll comedy. ****” – The Age (Melbourne)

“Brilliantly executed” – The Guardian

“So far ahead of the curve that they’re on the outermost tip of the zeitgeist’s serrated edge.” – The List

“Full on music comedy… Infectious and fun ****” – Chortle

“Funny as hell. ****” – Time Out Sydney

“Genius… Laughter is good for the soul, so do yours a favour and go see this comedy hour of power.*****” -  Three Weeks

“Comedically perfect: beautifully conceived, incisively written and superbly performed. *****” -  The Dubliner

“On a glitter-sprinkled rocket ship to global domination” – HotPress

“It seems there’s nothing these charming musicians can’t do… Awesome. *****” – Adelaide Advertiser

“So spectacular that the audience were howling with laughter and begging for more. ****” -  Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“Brilliant… It’s hard to fault them… You leave feeling elated. ****” -  Hairline

“Musical comedy of almost stellar proportions… They harness a heady combination of Tim Minchin’s exuberance, Tom Lehrer’s twisted wordplay and Billy Connolly’s folk-song storytelling. The results are often electrifying.” – Fest

“A massive hypodermic of adrenaline injected directly into your funny bone.” -  Totally Dublin

“Dead Cat Bounce are all rather attractive. There, I said it. Even the ginger in the leopard-print man-leggings.” – The Enthusiast
