\\\"fatima<\/a><\/p>\n

A vehicle for Cathal Coughlan\\’s intelligence driven bile — the Fatima Mansions could shift from smooth voiced crooning to a visceral car-crash of noise at the drop of a hat. They deserved to be much bigger than they ever were — their biggest glimpse of success being as part of a double a-side with The Manic Street Preachers \\’Suicide Is Painless\\’ with Cathal\\’s band contributing a distinctly strange yet far more palatable version of Bryan Adam\\’s \\’Everything I Do, I do It For You\\’ (a song in the original version capable of inducing unprecedented amounts of spontaneous projectile vomiting).<\/p>\n

Against Nature, Bertie\\’s Brochures, Valhalla Avenue and Lost In The Former West all drip with satire, reframing the social backdrop Coughlan was writing against into a place populated by grotesques from real life, puncturing it all with more wit than most rock stars muster over a whole career.<\/p>\n
