First things first: I updated the site late Friday night (ok, technically it was 2am Saturday). The review for Flatfoot 56’s new album Jungle of the Midwest Sea is now on the main page with Ceann’s Almost Irish being moved to the past reviews page. Yeah, I know, it’s about time. The links are mostly missing, and I’ll be adding them in shortly as well as checking for spelling errors since it was posted quickly so that I could get some sleep before Celtic Fling.
Speaking of which, I picked up 4 CD’s yesterday at Fling. Icewagon Flu’s Off the Wagon and The Great American Something (which I listened to on the way home from Fling- so far, very good), Ceann’s new CD Rave, Rant, Lose Pants, and Enter the Haggis’ Soapbox Heroes. Reviews will be forthcoming.
I also got some pics of said bands as well as a few of Hunting Mcleod since I was running late and am bad at faces. I thought they were Icewagon Flu performing a song I hadn’t heard yet since celtic bands wearing kilts at celtic festivals is not exactly unheard of. Sort of made an arse of myself when trying to buy their CDs and talking to Martin Bristow (guitarist of Icewagon Flu) without realizing that he was in the band that I thought I was seeing. Nice guy though.
I plan to get a proper review of the fest up later- on the site if I can find a good spot for it. And try to get some pics uploaded. All of the bands were in the shade and I couldn’t get close enough to be sure of a good shot.
I also ended up with sun poisoning about the same time that Enter the Haggis was up for their last set, so I stayed through a few of my favorite songs and left- sorry guys. You rocked, I just couldn’t roll.
