In Brighton UK, in 1990, a songwriter from Belfast recorded a version of Pharaoh House Crash. It was a year of heatwaves, raves and riots.
Pharaoh House Crash was also chosen as his artist name, because it echoed the three genres that inspired his music: reggae, house and post-punk. Debut single, Epic Dream - a song about global warming - came out in 1993 and although no more music was released, songs continued to be written and recorded. Also, reggae, house and post-punk provided a rich source of material for PhC remixes and mash-ups. In a world that moves ever faster, Pharaoh House Crash believes in patience, perseverance and passion (and partying!) "Hoyden To Harridan' was started 30 years ago, but it's theme remains prescient - a takedown of the engrained and often casual misogyny in society." (Robin Murray. Clash Music Magazine 27.08.21) |
