Angie McLaughlin, a Scot transferred to Dublin via San Francisco, meets Gary Fitzpatrick (Great Western Squares, Pincher Martin, Ciunas) through a mutual friend. He agrees to bring her to an open mike night in a pub, the host doesn't show up, and the bar owner asks the two to takeover. After a few weeks of terrible poets and singers the pair decide to change the open mike policy and build a band instead to indulge in their passion for all things with lyrics, regardless of genre. After two years of carefully being unaware of what they were doing, The Sick and Indigent Song Club had grown to a multi-instrumental six-piece band, with Shane McGrath (Joan of Arse, Dog Day), Sheila Sullivan (Northlight Razorblade, The Racketeers, Pat Clafferty), Christian Volkmann (The Wandering Harrys, Ali & the DT's) and Gerry Fitzpatrick completing the lineup. They play a mixture of original, traditional and covers from anytime over the last few centuries, in no particular order. The band name comes from The Sick and Indigent Roomkeepers Society, the oldest extant charity in Dublin who's aging and listed headquarters Gary had ended up playing a few solo gigs in. They have recorded their 3rd album 'Punch Drunk' which they will be launching at The Sugar Club, Oct 18th. They have played various venues including the Electric Picnic (4 times), the Hugh Lane Gallery, Voodoo, Whelans, the over sixties night in the Dublin Conservative Club, and the wet homeless shelter on Aungier Street. Every last Sunday of the month we can be found in Whelan's on Wexford St.
