Internationally renowned for their hit single ‘Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm,’ Canadian rockers Crash Test Dummies are crash landing into Galway this Wednesday, October 30th for a performance at Monroe's Live at 8pm.
Led by the distinctive bass-baritone of frontman Brad Roberts, Crash Test Dummies rose to fame with their unconventional approach to rock, fusing quirky yet poignant lyrics with a wide range of musical styles.
“Touring again was not something we’d planned on,” says lead singer-songwriter Brad Roberts, “but surprisingly – at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later, still want to come and hear us.
"The folks that are coming out to see these shows tell us their stories, some of them very funny, some very dark and all very personal. It’s very humbling, being in the confidence of so many people and it has inspired us to continue to tour and make music.”

Since the release of their debut album ‘The Ghosts That Haunt Me’ in 1991, Crash Test Dummies have sold millions of albums, garnered Grammy nominations, and achieved worldwide acclaim. One of their standout tracks, ‘The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead,’ was featured in the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels comedy ‘Dumb and Dumber’.
Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, the band’s music moves from folk-infused melodies to funk-driven rhythms, all held together by Roberts' unmistakable vocals. In 2018, the band reunited for the 25th anniversary of their Grammy-nominated album ‘God Shuffled His Feet’, embarking on their first tour in two decades.
The overwhelming response reignited their passion for live performances, and they’ve continued touring ever since. Don’t miss your chance to see Crash Test Dummies revive the hits that made them famous at Monroe’s Live on Wednesday, October 30th at 8pm.
Support on the night is from the "big, bearded, tattooed" singer Tony Cunningham - who many may know from his appearance on RTE's Last Singer Standing. He describes the Crash Test Dummies as his "favourite band" and the opportunity as a "dream come true."
