PreNup
There are hundreds of reasons why bands decide on names, but PreNup seem to have taken things a step beyond the norm.
The Irish band feature Hothouse Flowers members Fiachna O Braonain (guitar, vocals) and Dave Clarke (drums, vocals) and former Pogues member Cait O'Riordan (bass, vocals), the ex-wife of Elvis Costello. According to the band's MySpace page, the trio met at a party in a castle near Ireland's Wicklow Mountains and started jamming.
PreNup, whose name comes from the fact all three members have been divorced, started playing gigs and have recorded material for a full-length album titled Hell To Pay that's set for a Sept. 4 release in North America.
While no track list has been announced, "Firefighter," "Cold Wind" and "Foolish Love" can be previewed on MySpace. Another song titled "Technicolor" is likely to make it on the record.
PreNup opened some Hothouse Flowers shows in the U.S. earlier this year and performed at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas in March. More U.S. dates are planned for the middle of September, but there's no word on whether the band will hit Canada.
Hothouse Flowers have a string of British shows this summer, but haven't released a new studio album since 2004's Into Your Heart. The Pogues will mount a North American tour this fall without guitarist Philip Chevron, who was diagnosed in June with throat cancer.
