The Emergency - Use Democracy Sensibly

Last Wednesday week, Culch was invited along to the Laughter Lounge where political satire group, The Emergency, were previewing their new CD, ‘Use Democracy Sensibly‘. Having sat with the guys in studio before and viewed their genius up close, it was great to see it taken to a live setting. For those who haven’t heard the guys via Newstalk, they are are a six person political satire group whose material is a razor sharp. Whether it be horse racing with a bank nationalisation twist, Gormley’s Electile Dysfunction or the Bertie story Give Up Your Aul Lies told by “school kids”, it was fantastic 90 minutes.

The CD, Use Democracy Sensibly, which launches today (20th) features sketches from the aforementioned show on Newstalk as well as a few new bits too. If you like hearing our elected officials lampooned in the funniest manner possible then I’d suggest picking up a copy. For all your Emergency bulletins, make sure to keep your eyes on their blog. We’ll have a competition for a few copies of the album early next week.
