Their name is The Latchiko's and they claim to have created a new genre of music called Gyp-Hop, or Gaelic Gypsy hip-hop.

All I know is I really enjoy their song 'Bondi Junction', which they describe as the new anthem for Irish emigrants in Australia, with the introduction:

'Here's to all who went down under, 
Who tore their Mammy's hearts asunder, 
Who chose the thongs over shteel-toe wellys, 
And tried to tan their pashty bellys. 
However this song was wrote because, 
There's friends of ours below in Oz, 
Who daily take a sun drenched stroll, 
And shed a distant tear for home.'
