The Golden Horde (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Horde (1982 - 1994) was an Irish Rock and roll band. Formidable liggers, members of "The Horde" were legendary within the confines of Dublin's legendary college rock gig music circuit of free riders.
Their first recording, Dig That Crazy Grave, was released in 1983 on the Hotwire record label. An album, The Chocolate Biscuit Conspiracy!, followed in 1985, and included spoken contributions from Robert Anton Wilson.
1991 saw the release of a full-length self-titled album by the Golden Horde, now with the Mother Records label. Singer Maria McKee, then at the height of her popularity following the success of the soundtrack of Days of Thunder, joined Carmody for the power duet "Friends in Time", the Horde's only major chart success.
The Horde disbanded in 1994, reforming for occasional birthday parties and other special events. In 2005, Simon Carmody appeared uncredited in a minor role as a bus driver in Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto. In between selling t-shirts at music gigs in Ireland, he is regularly reported as attending the same social events in Dublin, Ireland, as Smiley Bolger, Bono, Gavin Friday, and Guggi[1].
