Their 1992 album Casual Sex in the Cineplex contained much of their best material, including Stupid Kid, You Talk Too Much and the perennial student-night favourite Where's Me Jumper?, but many amazing b-sides were great too: Turnip Fish, Armitage Shanks & Riot at the sheepdog trials
The live performance was the stuff of legend: usually playing to small, packed venues, the Sultans' frontman Niall O'Flaherty would unleash the anarchic Sultans of Ping sound whilst strutting, leaping and diving around and sometimes off the stage. The very literal "dance routine" which accompanied Wake Up And Scratch Me managed to keep the crowd entertained if a little unnerved by the blood loss.
Their name was later changed to simply "Sultans of Ping" for the second album Teenage Drug.
For the third album, Good Year For Trouble they became The Sultans.
They disbanded in 1996 but then started playing again in 2005. The current line-up includes Niall O'Flaherty, Morty McCarthy, Pat O'Connell, Sam Steiger (ex Golden Horde) and Ian Olney (ex Power of Dreams)
They released a single in 2007 called Girlwatching.
They continue to play to packed out audiences.
Indeed You Are
Sultans Of Ping F.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
다시 만날 날 올거야
웃는 너의 모습을 보고싶어져
오늘 더 그래
어디에 있는거니 가슴이 아파와
잠들때에는 더 생각이 난다
멈출 수 없는 가슴이
너를 찾잖아
걷다가 갑자기 니 목소리
들리는 것만 같아서
두리번거리다가
너의 이름을 불러봤었어
어디에 있는거니 가슴이 아파와
잠들때에는 더 생각이 난다
불러도 대답이 없는 니가 그리워
멈출 수 없는 가슴이
너를 찾잖아
너를 놓치지 않아 운명속에서
우린 살아가야하니까 잠시
떨어져 있는거야 걱정하지마
너의 손을 잡아 줄거야
어디에 있는거니 가슴이 아파와
잠들때에는 더 생각이 난다
불러도 대답이 없는 니가 그리워
멈출 수 없는 가슴이
너를 찾잖아
