Hello from the Shillaly Brothers, we're a 3-piece Irish Traditional band from Los Angeles (members origionally from Boston, NYC and Philadelphia). We're more Clancy Brothers than Pogues, but we serve up an outstanding version of "Old Main Drag" that we're pretty damn proud of. Our Myspace link is http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... D=22872454 Anyone out in L.A. come out and see us, and we promise to record some new stuff for Myspace, whats on there now is an old rehearsal tape, and we've gotten a hellofalot better since then, especially with the addition of a drummer.

Um, I think they sound alright. I can't even hold a guitar so I don't really feel right to judge a musician. So, St. P's day down on Hermosa Pier... might be there because we bike to it on the weekends anyway. Are you (SB) really going to play there in the morning? Is going to be complete chaos? (So many questions, so little time...)

I actually think they sound a lot better than most of the bands out there. They don't use as much just shouting, heavy feedback, and other stuff like what FM do that I don't like. It's a lot simpler and calmer, although still with a rowdy side. It's not too over the top. I'd rather listen to the Shillaly Bros than Flogging Molly any day of the week.

I meant this as a reply, but a shameless plug indeed it now is!

Shillaly Brothers playing St. Pat's DAY (11:30 till 3:00)
at the Light House at the Hermosa Beach Pier!!

A great walk-in show right after the parade ends!!

Well, I rode down to the pier but all venues were super packed. Couldn't get in to see you... USA sucks because you can't drink outside. Did, however, get to see a young girls perform Irish dances outside and the Misty Isle Pipe Band play all sorts, showing the crowd the difference between the Irish and the Scottish bagpipes! Maybe catch you at a less crowded show.

Maybe I just have bad taste

or maybe it's that their music, however horrible, reminds me of my music
