Freelance Whales

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Jim’s show on Phantom last night played this band Freelance Whales, liked the song right away, caught a few more of their songs on their mySpace. Got the album. I hope they come to Ireland soon.

This is them live in a train station. Love the reaction of the girl to their sound:

Nice take on this song, the album by the band “Yesterday and Today” is pretty good

Horse Feathers – Live in Academy2

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

About this time last year I saw Parenthetical Girls live in Whelan’s and said it was my gig of the year and now I think Horse Feathers in Academy 2 on Friday night was my gig of 2009. And I went to some fantastic gigs this year I must say. I’ve been a huge fan of them ever since hearing Finch On Saturday played on Pearl’s show on Phantom a few years back. Beautiful music and when live it’s even better. Good banter between the band and the very small but enthusiastic crowd.
