[edit] House of Pain
After Everlast's critically unsuccessful first solo album, Everlast, DJ Lethal, and Danny Boy decided to form the hip-hop group House of Pain in 1992. Danny Boy has made several vocal appearances on various tracks, both on record and on stage, but Everlast remained the groups lead rapper.
[edit] A.T.F., XSM and other projects
Since House of Pain's split in 1996, Danny Boy has not been very active in the public. His musical project A.T.F. (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) broke up before their first release, and the short lived group XSupermodels (XSM) only saw a promotional. It is also rumored that he is the featured rapper in Powerman 5000's remake of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood classic, "Relax", on the Zoolander Soundtrack.
[edit] La Coka Nostra
In 2006, Danny Boy formed La Coka Nostra with newcomer Slaine, teaming up with old friends and fellow House of Pain member Everlast and DJ Lethal as well as Ill Bill of Non Phixion and another newcomer Big Left. The group's debut album/DVD combo entitled "A Brand You Can Trust" is expected for an early 2008 release.
[edit] Visual art
Besides his activities in music, Danny Boy founded and runs a graphic art company and is member of the graffiti groups Dissizit and t-shirt company Pain Gang. He also did the art direction for House of Pain albums, and co-created the House of Pain logo and created the various La Coka Nostra logos on his own or with the help of fellow Dissizit member Slick.
