Scene of Irony
Scene of Irony is an American punk rock band from St. Louis. Their musical style is a combination of street punk and alternative rock. They have released three CDs: When Kids Attack (2007), Word on the Street (2010) and We Own the Night (2013). The band includes Maurice "Moe" Holmes on lead vocals and guitar, Shaughnessy Denney bass, Alex Black on drums, and Dillon Dunnagan guitar and backing vocals Career Scene of Irony formed after Moe Holmes got rejected by a rock band that Donnell played drums in that was auditioning singers. The band thought Holmes sounded "too punk" and turned him down. Disappointed after getting rejected, Holmes decided to form his own band. He purchased a guitar, and a Marshall half-stack and started practicing to teach himself guitar. Donnell came by Moe's apartment to listen to the songs he had written and said he needed more practice. After six months, Donnell returned to Moe's apartment and agreed to form a band with him. Moe placed an ad at Vintage Vinyl for a bass player and Shaughnessy Denney answered the ad a week later. The three practiced once, and decided to officially become a band on April 1, 2004. After
