They are a great band!
Seen them a few years ago.
For anyone else to describe them is if you crossed The Dubliners with The Ramones a pretty close description.
The band chucks in a few traditional Irish songs with there own twist to it.
These guys are absolute sports nuts as well often performing Redsox's home ground and during the hockey season for the Bruins.
Also been known to front up for the New England MLS team and for the Union team. Have heard Boston 13's (the league team wants to get them involved).
Their St Patricks day shows are the stuff of legend and I'm hoping to make to one of them these days.
Went to my first gig at the Sydney Opera House on the weekend. Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell was all alone and stripped back in acoustic mode. Amazing voice, perfect sound and great venue to show off his talents. He didn't have a proper setlist and started off the gig by telling the audience that he's happy to take requests, so whenever there was a break between songs people would yell out a title and he'd start playing it. How good is that! Close to 2.5 hours of pure bliss.
Now for Soundgarden in 2012.

Went to Cold Chisel in Canberra last night, good show. 24 songs over 2 hours.
Couple of strange choices like Letter To Alan in the encore, and Yazuka Girl played acoustically???.
Best songs, Rising Sun, Hound Dog, Painted Doll, Shipping Steel, Bow River and the new All For You.
Would love to see them hoist the tired Choir Girl, Khe Sahn, Flame Trees and Cheap Wine from the setlist. They add very little to what is a very good show.
The same way as AC/DC have punted Jailbreak, Who Made Who, Long Way To The Top, or Dylan has barred Knockin on Heavens Doors and rarely plays The Times They Are... and Blowin In The Wind etc. Sometimes these older faves have run their course and become tiresome.
If you wanna listen to the greatest hits grab a cd and sit at home.
Wow I really wanted to see this guy. What a talent. I saw Eddie Vedder and he got really pissed when people started yelling song names.
Reminds me of seeing the Oils about a zillion times and they use to get the wheel out with every song on it and punters could have a spin and they'd play what it landed on. Back when the Oil were really good pre-Diesel and Dust.

I can agree with Fluffy, very good show, a bit different to what I was expecting, but it was an assault on the senses.
I still enjoyed myself even though I had to sit next to Fluffy, but he may make a similar comment about sitting next to me. 😛 😀 😛

Couple of great albums out by old favorites.
The new Bruce Springsteen Wrecking Ball is his best work in 25 years, and that is saying something because he has put out some great stuff post Born in the USA.
The new Chisel album could be their bet ever record, to these old ears anyway. Maybe it lacks a truly great song but there are 13 really good quality tracks on No Plans.
