The Peter O'Tooles are a Celtic punk band from Minneapolis featuring Bunny Sparber and Coco Mault.
Bunny Sparber is a longtime writer and performer. Originally from the Twin Cities, he has lived in Los Angeles, where he did theater with Academy Award-winning actress Shelley Winters, Omaha, where he did a singing cowboy show, and New Orleans, where he performed in the French Quarter with a filthy sailor puppet.
Now back in the Twin Cities, he is a playwright with Off-Leash Area, an online journalist, and the bass section of Courtney McClean and the Dirty Curls. Bunny is also a Premack Award-winning journalist, and has worked as an arts writer in the Twin Cities and elsewhere for more than a decade. He is currently one of the two writers responsible for MinnPost's Daily Glean.
Coco Mault has been performing in the Twin Cities for years. Her performance experience includes piano recitals and band concerts, but she eventually set her drumsticks aside in favor of performing improv with Deja Voodoo and The Velvet Elvises.
Before downloading their demos, please read what they say about their "Celtic punk" music:
"No, we don't really sound like The Pogues. We call ourselves "Celtic punk" mostly because that seems to describe us the best. Musically, we're inspired by garage rock, the protopunk of Lou Reed and The Stooges, glam music, and new wave -- all types of music that have had the label "punk" applied to them. In the meanwhile, Bunny often approaches his lyrics from the point of view of an Irish-American, and the Peter O'Tooles often borrow musically from Celtic music in their arrangements, incorporating traditional Celtic drum patterns, or a drone, or a musical figure that references an Irish folk or pop song. But we're an Irish-American band in the same way that House of Pain was: Some of our songs will have no obvious Irish content, while others will be silly with it.
More than anything, we consider ourselves punk because we share punk's DIY aesthetic."
