The Band......

Plain Krazy hail from Dublin, Ireland, they were formed in 1995 when drummer Dezzy & singer Fr Fran (yes he is a Priest, although no longer practising) decided to work together to form a band.

 This four-piece rock band has gone from strength to strength over the years despite having a few line-up changes along the way. From the outset the band performed sets consisting of rock classics from various artists such as AC/DC, ZZ Top, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Ozzy, Black Sabbath & many more. They have taken their “rock n roll” show throughout Ireland gaining a huge following along the way, especially with bikers, as bike rallies have become regular bookings for the band, especially during the summer months.  

       As time went on, the band added more & more Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne songs to their set list, helped by the fact that singer Fran not only sounds like, but has an uncanny resemblance to the legendary Ozzy himself. Fran is a remarkable front man, he has such amazing stage presence, which soon gets the crowds going Krazy wherever they play, venues big or small, once seen, he’s never forgotten

 It wasn’t until 1997 that Plain Krazy performed their first full Sabbath/Ozzy tribute gig, shortly followed by the bands first visit to England, where they performed the tribute show in front of 4000 bikers at “Stormin’ the Castle” bike rally, in Co Durham. They played an absolute blindin' set, so much so they were back the following year due to popular demand.

 Their tribute show is one not to be missed, anyone who has witnessed, the raw energy of Ozzy Osbourne & or Black Sabbath live, will not be disappointed. Singer Fr Fran actually lives Ozzy when performing live & whips the crowd into a frenzy, with famous Ozzy chants such as "I love you f**kers" & "let's go f**kin' crazy". He captures the crowd’s attention in seconds & commands a huge amount of crowd participation during the show.

This extremely tight outfit have the crowds well pleased, thundering through everything from "War Pigs," "Fairies," "Sweat leaf" & “Crazy Train.”

 The band gig constantly in Ireland be it pubs, bike rallies or parties  & are willing to play anywhere they're asked to. The bands popularity in England is ever increasing, with another four visits under their belt in the last three years. Venues are now asking for their return on a regular basis & plans are afoot for their next visit to England in early 2003 with the possibility of a week’s tour coming later in the year.
