Paul Rooney
Biography
The words of Paul Rooney's sung and spoken pieces deal with everyday subjects that are made strange via the lo-fi post-punk experimental-folk music or by narrative daftness, stressing the absurdity of any attempt to make meaning out of the world. From 1998 to 2000 he released three lo-fi punk pop albums as the band ‘Rooney’ (see http://www.last.fm/label/Common+Culture), featuring in John Peel’s Festive Fifty in 1998, as well as recording a session for Peel's Radio 1 show a year later (which was re-broadcast on BBC 6 Music in 2016).
