THE BAND

photograph by Faye Rossie

Bored Housewife are Justin McKeown and Meabh McDonnell. Among our influences are most of the people who appear on the Jeremy Kyle show. A lot of the people we’ve met in Bars in Belfast and elsewhere. Hangovers. Regular fixes of ‘Closer’ and ‘Heat’ magazine. watching Hollyoaks and T4. Fit girls from Metal bands. Wrestling Games. Destructive Rabbits. Some of the things you can buy in Pound stores (that’s dollar store if you’re American). The list is endless. Stay a while, enjoy our web site, read our lyrics and download our song Gaylord Friend for free by clicking here. Don’t say we never gave you nothin. Here’s what some other people had to say about us:

Lovable engaging songs full of wit and charm. Boy-girl tales of the heart, horny bunny rabbits, silly escapades…and even Evanescence. They rock! (in their own adorable way). They even make venereal disease sound cute!
Naomi Corrin –Resonance FM dj and one half of acoustic duo You and Me

Glimpse the new musical phenomenon that is Bored Housewife. Simple songs, sardonically sung, you’ll discover whether you can laugh and whistle at the same time. If Kimya Dawson and Adam Green had coupled up, moved to Belfast and got a pet rabbit, it might sound a little like this.

Probably the most unique band in Belfast at the minute, live shows notoriously descend into an audience spasming in laughter whilst Justin and Meabh look on unperturbed

The softly strummed and sung illustrative vignettes belie the darker sides of your and my neighbourhood. Bored Housewife have beautifully crafted witty observations and humourous tales of and about contemporary society into this delightful debut album, that will make you smile, tap your feet and laugh out loud.
