Artist History The Story of McFadden:When I first met McFadden, they were just four scraggly looking Irishmen (well, ok, three scraggly looking Irishmen and their bastard cousin from Scotland) who'd just come ashore from the potato boat they'd sotwed away on. They were busking for change in front of a rcord store on the K Stree mall in downtown Sacramento, California. For reasons which were never made clear to me by the fellas, they were entertaining the crowd by playing old Australian folk tunes. There they were: Angus with an old beat up Hohner melodica, O'Jeffrey with a scuffed and scratched Airline acoustic guitar, St.Patrick with his accordian, and Sean...naked except for a megaphone and a carefully placed Mountain Dew bottle.I stood there and listened to a few refrains of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport." Hmmm...pretty good, too bad the Australian folk song market dried up last year, I thought. But, I figured if these kids could make that Aussie crap entertaining, they must have something going for them."Do you guys know anything else? That is, anything that you've written?" I asked."SURE!!!" answered Sean through his megaphone."Ouch," I said back."Sorry said Sean, this time withough the megaphone, "1...2...1, 2, 3, 4!"And off they launched into "Maria's Tits."It was a religious experience...And then the song was over. I looked at the McFadden boys and said, "Have you ever thought of having your own record deal?""Yeah," answered O'Jeffrey plainly.And the rest, as the cliche' goes, is history.
