Career

Scene of irony formed after Moe got rejected by a rock band that Donnell played drums in that was auditioning singers. The band thought Moe sounded "too punk" and turned him down. Disappointed after getting rejected, Moe decided to form his own band. He purchased a guitar, and a Marshall half-stack and started practicing to teach himself guitar. Donnell came by Moe's apartment to listen to the songs he had written and said he needed more practice. After six months, Donnell returned to Moe's apartment and agreed to form a band with him. Moe placed an ad up at Vintage Vinyl for a bass player and Shaughnessy Denney answered the ad a week later. The three practiced once, and decided to officially become a band on April 1, 2004. After being a band for two and a half years, Shaughnessy and Donnell wanted to add a lead guitarist to the band. Shawn Combs came to see Scene of irony perform at The Pageant located in St.Louis, Missouri and asked to join the band. After "jamming" with Shawn a couple of times, Shawn was officially in the band. On March 24, 2007, Scene of irony released its debut album titled "When Kids Attack". Three years later, they released their sophomore album "word on the street" and have performed countless of shows in their region of the country.[4] They have opened for several national acts including: Ultraman, Charged GBH, The Business, The Exploited, Street Dogs, Swingin' Utters, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Koffin Kats, and Flatfoot 56 just to name a few. Scene of irony has also toured England[5] twice, once with the punk band Eastfield.[6]
