Shag Haired Villains are a three piece rock band based in Dublin. Formed in the summer of 2012, the band consists of Dave Byrne on guitar and vocals, Derek Carney on drums and vocals and Shane Waldron on bass. The band spent most of 2012 working on writing as much original material as possible and recorded a demo for an early single, Dirty Rose. In May 2013, the band made their debut at the King Kong Club showcase in The Mercantile Venue and have been gigging ever since in venues across Dublin.
