Music Monday - Gaelic Storm (on a Thursday)

Irish Fest started today! No I'm not there! I won't be there until Saturday! Why are we shouting! I don't know!

I do know that Gaelic Storm is awesome.

One of the advantages of Irish Fest is that a lot of the bands play multiple times during the weekend. If two bands you're interested in are playing at the same time, you can always schedule to see one later on. Also, if you like a band, you can see them again. Gaelic Storm's been a regular visitor to the Fest for the past few years and they've been closing down their stage consistently cause no one wants to follow them. They put on a great show full of fun and energy. They sing songs you don't need to know the words to because you'll learn them quick enough. I might have seen them a dozen times now. Last year I saw them at least three times in five days. Maybe more.





The crowd around the Gaelic Storm stage is massive every time they play. The band seems to love the attention. They end up playing Wisconsin a couple times a year. The other year when they released their 'What's the Rumpus?' album, you got a free live track to download if you preordered it. It was 'Born to be a Bachelor' from the Pabst Theatre, downtown Milwaukee. So cool!





If you can't sing along, you can clap along, can't you?





At least that's what I heard but I wouldn't trust a person like me if I was you...





Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go die of thirst.
