Beef Supreme are a 5 piece folkabilly acoustic rock band from the south east of Ireland, formed late in 2008 by Niall O'Connor and Jimmy O'Rourke. Jimmy and Niall had previously been in an underground punk-rock trio called 'gym slip ...', but had decided that the heavy sound was getting in the way of good song writing. Beef supreme originally started as a two piece acoustic act with some electronics supporting the rhythm section but as the members grew so too did the sound. The group now includes Shane O'Rourke, Shane Glover and Seamus Kelly, lining up with drums, bass, guitar, bouzouki, banjo, melodica, organs, harmonica, jaw harp and vocals. The music is the equivalent of rock on traditional instruments with some experimental blues and hillbilly beats.
