The Fatima Mansions - Viva Dead Ponies

The demented energy present in Viva Dead Ponies was
demonstrated by the speed of its arrival. Singer and songwriter
Cathal Coughlan’s previous band, Microdisney, had imploded
in 1988. A little over a year later, The Fatima Mansions –
named after a notably drug-ridden Dublin housing estate –
launched the exploratory salvo of the Against Nature minialbum
and Blues For Ceausescu. The colossal earthscorching
barrage of Viva Dead Ponies followed in 1990.
The album has been re-mastered and is complimented by a second disc containing a
collection of recordings from the bands catalogue.
