Simon Crowe (born 1952 or 1953Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".,[1] Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish musician, best known as the drummer and backing vocalist of the Irish new wave band The Boomtown Rats.[2]
The Boomtown Rats, originally known as the "Nightlife Thugs",[3] was formed in 1975.[4] The band had eighteen hit singles in the UK in the 1970s and early 1980s. After the Boomtown Rats broke up, in 1986, Crowe lived in Devon for several years.[1] While in Devon, he played with the Exeter-based folk group Jiggerypipery.[5]
Crowe was also part of The Velcro Flies[6] (with ex-Boomtown Rat Garry Roberts) and Gung~Ho (with ex-Boomtown Rat Johnny Fingers). He subsequently formed a group, The Rats, with Roberts.[7] As of 2009, The Rats featured Roberts on guitar and Crowe on drums, with Pete Briquette on bass and Darren Beale on lead guitar.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Bob Geldof did not (re)join the group as, according to Crowe, he was "doing his own thing".[7]
The Boomtown Rats reformed, with an original line-up that included Geldof, Briquette, Roberts and Crowe, in 2013.[8]
