Tír Na HiFi

Decided if they came this year I would go to see them. Havent got the new album yet. Had a search on sunday to see if they might be coming. Argh! played vicar street on saturday night. I couldnt believe it what timing. Anybody see this or get the new album. Belated found them and find Kurt very listenable.

Completely missed that too. And missed the new album. I do love that band.

The bloody tickets were priced from only €28. Ah well such is life

One project of his well worth checking out is Kort. A bit more straight country but not overly so (some may not agree!).

Thanks Ivor will put it on my list. BTW need more of that organic olive oil. We are getting thru it very quickly must pop down before the weekend.

Have a look at http://cityslang.com
There's a mini doc about the new album on there.

Also, got a present of this boxset recently. Nice :-) http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/1756845 ... oduct.html

Seen them in Cork a few times but they didn't come here this time round.

Yeah Jadarin,It's a nice set alright-some great titles too e.g. Pet Sounds Sucks,Making Tar and Nashville Does Dallas.
It's basically 8 live CD's that were originally only availably to buy at their live shows plus 2 live DVD's. Some great performances over around 10 years.I had a few of these CD's already but herself thought I deserved all of them in a boxset!! Think it was originally available from City Slang website only.

Oops just a little slow typing you got in just before me tweber.
Thats a very nice present alright.Somebody really likes you. Never seen it either. This has happened on a couple of occasions to me.By the time I figure out these bands are worth going to they either get too big and I miss all the intimate gigs in small venues or just dont do my research in time.

I've seen them in the Opera House in cork a few times which is a very underrated and under utilized venue in my opinion. Even though I'm not sure if they really played when they toured the Sunrise film there. :-)
Kurt and the lads were only visible when they took a bow after the film but I hope they played the music!!
Listening to a live cd from the Nixon era at the minute - cool Curtis Mayfield sounds happening. They really could recreate that sound live too.
Kort worth a listen too - not too country even if it's kind of old style Nashville, if that's not too contradictory
