UK (SANEPR.com) April 7, 2008 -- Walking My Dog, the new single from Irish band Kyron & The Strangels is going from strength to strength in the pop notoriety stakes. The song is about a voyeur who peers into people’s window’s while he’s out walking his dog.

To celebrate the single's growing success Kyron and the Strangels recently walked the streets of Dublin and Galway with a cardboard dog in tow to peer into people’s front rooms….and they took a camera crew with them! Their first video of ‘Walking My Dog’ was an all cardboard affair, directed by Stephen Mullan.

‘We asked people listening to the Sean Moncrieff show on Newstalk 106 – 108 FM Ireland, and visitors to our MySpace site to open their curtains and do something wild in their window for the new ‘Walking My Dog’ video,’ says Kyron the band’s lead vocalist.

And the people of Dublin and Galway didn’t disappoint. Belly dancers, female boxers, people who have a fettish for leather and cross dressers all volunteered to take part. ‘The new ‘Walking My Dog’ video is wilder than the band’s wildest dreams!’ says Kyron.

The video ‘New Walking My Dog’ is now up on YouTube and was also recently screened on RTE Two television in Ireland. If you would you like to find out what Kyron & The Strangels saw behind the curtains of two of Ireland’s largest cities go to the following You Tube link!

The inspiration for the lyrics came about when one of the songs composers lived in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. Every night he would take his Collie for a walk. As he and his faithful friend made their way along the well heeled suburban streets he’d sing the chorus ‘Walking My Dog’ and then make up lines based on the shadowy figures he could see moving around inside the local houses.


About Kyron Bourke & His Strangels:

The group Kyron & The Strangels came about as a natural progression from songwriting sessions held between three friends Kyron Bourke, Philip Kampff and Cormac O’Kane.

The name Strangels is derived from a Tom Waits song ‘The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me Today’ based on a word Tom’s daughter dreamed up by cleverly combining the words ‘strange angels’.

When Kyron Bourke is not playing the piano or behind the microphone fronting the Strangles he is most likely to be found working with oil and watercolours. Apart from being a fine musician he is a much respected artist with numerous galleries exhibiting his, what critics describe as, ‘unique work’.

In the summer of 2007 the Strangels started to play live in the Black Box in Belfast. Kyron and Cormac along with new band members Feargal on drums, Bernard on bass started to perform the original songs to an ever increasing fan base.

Cormac O’Kane who had been developing the Strangels sound based on the early song writing sessions started to produce the band in his own Belfast recording studio. The first song to emerge from the studio was ‘Walking My Dog’. Strangels fans now know the song well as it opens and closes every live performance that the band makes.

Kyron Burke’s family roots were established in Co Fermanagh where his grandfather farmed and reared cattle near the border village of Belleek on the River Erne. Kyron’s father a cousin of Brendan Behan was a wardrobe man in films who later in his life ran a costume business in Dublin. His mother also associated with the arts devoted herself to the business of singing light opera.

With the Behan family connection it was fitting then that Bourke’s first art exhibition was called ‘Pictures of my Cousin and Other Landscapes’.
