The Pogues are a Celtic punkband from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummerand then with Spider Stacyon vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in late 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Dayand across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues. Com, has no inclination to do so.
