InfluencesThe bottle and the lash!

Sounds Like A wayward crew of miscreants washed up on a coral reef, somewhere in the south seas, declaring the place "liberated in the name of Catgut Mary", celebrating with a particularly high-powered ceilidh by the light of a fire of bones, planks and coconut shells... Or like sex with a sea witch somewhere in the galley... Or like the Rum Runners' Ball the night the colonial governor was 'Micky Finned' and soundly thrashed about the buttocks with a dainty souvenir riding crop.

   About Catgut Mary
Clicky
..

A high energy eight piece band hailing from the bluestone streets of Melbourne City, Australia, Catgut Mary is a trad/punk band devoted to a short, fast and loud musical ethic. Strongly influenced by bands like The Pogues, The Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, Catgut also incorporate a strongly Australian folk sound into their style.

Carrying a swag stuffed with their own originals, the band also throws in a few Scots, Irish and English tunes for good measure. With members hailing from Melbourne, Northern Ireland, Sydney and the bush, Catgut Mary is an uncompromising live act that looks, feels and sounds like the most raucous night of the year at the local in any town in Australia and is probably what music would have sounded if amplification and punk spirit had arrived on the colonial goldfields 150 years ago; roaring vocals, riotous energy and, most importantly, rampaging fun.





Ay! Have a Catgut Mary sing-a-long
with Bourbon & Black Porter...

Thanks for taking the time to listen to our music!
I was impressed when I came across your guys page, It is some of the better Celtic Punk that I have heard in a long time, hands down. 

The whole 7/8 member thing is for sure pushing the stages to the limit, it gets tangly, but we definitely wouldn't have it any other way.

Cheers guys, 
Adam

Ay', whoever gets this, tell Owen and Dave I saw Steeleye Span last night, solid and soaring as always (Kat, you prolly don't know Steeleye Span like some of us old hippies and hippie-spawn, but you might learn a thing or two about power folk rock fiddle from Peter Knight).

Cheers, all,
