Seven years after their final gig, legendary Irish comedy troupe Dead Cat Bounce are all go these days...
Following the belated online release of their farewell concert at Dublin's Vicar Street, they've just announced that they'll stream their award-winning feature-length 'mockumentary' Discoverdale on YouTube as a one-time-only event this Saturday, April 4th at 9.30pm.
The plot of Discoverdale is as follows:
A fly-on-the-wall film crew follow cult comedy rock band Dead Cat Bounce on a desperate quest across Europe to reunite lead singer Jim with his long-lost father, who he believes is the legendary rock singer and Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale. Crossing Ireland, England, Norway & Denmark the band follow the Whitesnake Forevermore tour through Europe. They've got no money and no idea what they're doing - just blind faith that one day soon Jim will be sharing a jacuzzi in a 5-star hotel with the Dad of his dreams...
"Discoverdale has only been screened twice in Ireland," says Dead Can Bounce member Shane O'Brien, "once at the Galway Film Fleadh and once in the IFI – and that was seven years ago. So we're really excited to finally give people a chance to watch our rock odyssey. Well, odyssey is probably a stretch… We made it by accident and improvised most of it, but it is a lot of fun and is soundtracked by an assload of Whitesnake."
The one-off, live screening of Dead Cat Bounce's Discoverdale takes place on their YouTube channel this Saturday 4th April at 9.30 pm - book your virtual seat here.
