The Dunn Thing
The Dunn Thing was an English post-punk band, formed by the brothers Mike and Frank Dunne, after leaving the Manchester post-punk band The Immediates in 1980. That band also featured Andy Connell, later a member of A Certain Ratio before forming Swing Out Sister in 1985.
The Dunn Thing released two singles on MCA Records: "Sticking to My Guns" and a cover of the Northern Soul classic "Ain't Nothing But a House Party". Mike Dunne subsequently released a solo album, Lost Soul, on Herb Tea Records. Frank Dunne left the music industry for sports journalism, and is currently an Italian football correspondent for The Independent newspaper.
