Mick Hussey, Tony Hamilton, Greg Kane would all go on to form Ice Cube International in the mid ’80’s. During February 1980 through to the end of April 1980 the Posers had a residency at the Yacht Bar, Loughshinny. They would also have residencies at the Yacht Bar during August, September 1980.

Petrol Strike blues and scoff majordomo Johnny Lappin advises me that the attendance has dropped far below the previous week\u2019s. Certainly the low turn out doesn\u2019t help a fair assessment of either the Male Caucasians or The Posers. A third full Sportsman\u2019s is no paradise to play. Bright and willing students from the Northside, The Posers have abundant time before they sit their finals. Currently they could be placed in a traditional pop rock mould alongside such as the Resistors and The Roach Band, and The Posers have the assets of useful guitar by play and songs that will stretch beyond the statutory single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If their playing lacks the required fire and polish, hard work and experience could vanquish those defects but they\u2019ve one tough decision to make instant-est \u2013 their name which is outstandingly and dangerously naff for a band with their image or more precisely lack of same. Name and\/or image will have to be reconsidered fast, still static on stage, Posers are what these guy\u2019s aren\u2019t.
