Description
The Sultans Of Ping are an Irish band formed in 1988. The bands name is a play on the 1978 Dire Straits song Sultans of Swing, dating from a time when it was sacrilege to say anything whatsoever funny or nasty about Dire Straits.
Following a number of lineup changes, the band came to the attention of the Irish and UK music press, when Wheres Me Jumper was released in January 1992. After several other independently released singles, the band signed to Epic Records, through a deal organized by Rhythm King Recordss Martin Heath. With Epic, the band released their debut album Casual Sex In The Cineplex.
This debut album from 1993 reached the 23rd position in the UK Albums Chart and includes the singles Wheres Me Jumper, Stupid Kid, and You Talk Too Much. These singles respectively reached No. 8, No. 11 and No. 4 in the Irish Singles Chart.
