Molloy

12th December at 12 minutes past midnight five musicians, oblivious to each others presence, were sat waiting for their take-out pizza. "Alan", shouted the member of serving staff as the five arose. Could these five individuals all be called Alan? Can you die of cancer at a car boot sale? The answer, of course, is yes!
Astounded by this coincidence, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan and Alan formed an eternal bond, which can only be broken by ham. It wasn't long before they had formed a band, too, and chosen a moniker in fitting with their green & orange attire - Molloy was thus born.
Of course, the quirky five soon found out that being in a band and sharing the same name wasn't all going to be sunshine & roses. So, over a game of Scrabble, new high-scoring, yet succinct, identities were formed accordingly…Jez (19 points) guitar & vocals, Caz (14 points) vocals & guitars, Chaz (18 points) bass, Jacqz (32 points) synth & vocals, Toz (12 points) drums. "Alan now, just seems like some wild, crazy dream", purports Jez. "Alan? Alan who?", Chaz asks. "I won, I won!", declares Jacqz as Toz raises an eyebrow acknowledging a silent victory.
With their new names memorised, Molloy can now focus completely on their aim - to spurt forth music which will leave a sweet, yet salty, taste in your eye. And a bit in your hair.

 

 

"Garish dayglo coloured fun." Ireallylovemusic

"A punk-girl vocal, jagged guitar and a fuzzbox holding the whole thing together. One can imagine MOLLOY performing this as the house band in a fetish club. Channelling Devo and Hot Hot Heat, with a splash of John Waters and a dash of Russ Meyer - imagine that little lot in a studio and you’ll get the idea. Its infectious, electronic pop-punk and is destined for cult greatness (at the very least)." Whisperin & Hollerin

"Get your stripper heels on and get up on that floor, because, this time, it's a no-holes barred minxy electroclash bash round at Molloy's, and the beats are on them." Stool Pigeon

"Its suggestive sexy electro that makes you wonder if the lead singer is horny 24/7.." Silent Dave's Blog

"Molloy are fine examples of musicians getting it right." Broccoli Music

"Their music combines the unconventional sound of the B52s with the dirty beats of peaches and then adds the hard rock guitar riffs of ac/dc and mixes in the cool, punk elements of television. that combined with their duran duran hair makes bone fide dirty-garage electro-rock clash at its most fucking brilliant." Kitty-Yo

"Molloy are the product of a mad cockney scientist (why is it always scientists that are mad - would it work if it was a mad postman?) who wanted to create a new electro-pop supergoup by filtering The Rapture into a test tube containing trace elements of early Human League and Goldfrapp." The Devil Has The Best Tuna
