Founded in January 2011, The Guilty Party has an all-star line up that includes the rhythm section from 80s rock band ‘In Tua Nua’ and the keyboardist from legendary funk outfit ‘Tokyo Olympics’. The band was formed by the members of Shane MacGowan’s current band ‘The Shane Gang’ as a way of filling up their diaries while Shane is off playing with The Pogues and doing other projects. It has grown into much more than that and the band have already played in excess of 100 gigs.
