How does that line go? Ooooh yea, The Boys are back, the boys are back and they’re looking for, Well The Original Rudeboys are back but they weren’t looking for any trouble, but instead a good time and thats what they had and so did all in attendance. After not playing live for eight years, they are just as good as they always were.
Playing the first of a two night run at The Academy 2 as part of a warm up run for their sold-out show at Dublins 3Olympia on the 18th the guys gave it all and it was more like a big party and singalong then a live gig.
