This is from the LA weekly prior to their Pogues slot:
Nothing says Irish folk music more than the East L.A. band Ollin. Yes, that’s right: The Pogues were so impressed with an impromptu live acoustic performance by Ollin near San Francisco’s fabled Fillmore Auditorium that they decided to book them as an opening act. Man, talk about respect. But what’s new — the talented Ollin (Maya for “movement”), fronted by classically trained twin brothers Scott and Randy Rodarte, have been performing the Pogues’ Rum, Sodomy and the Lash the past few St. Patrick’s Days to sold-out crowds. This Wiltern show will showcase the versatile talents of this amazing band, who were prominently featured in the critically acclaimed play Chavez Ravine by Culture Clash and have played alongside Ozomatli, Lucinda Williams and Los Lobos. Mexicans and the Irish have had a long connection; they even fought together (see San Patricios). Now the two are connecting again for what looks to be one of the best shows of the year. So don’t miss this classic concert as Ollin throw down the jams and some Guinness Stout.
