　去年のホワイトステージを沸かせたDropkick Murphys、あるいはFlogging Molly、東京スカンクスなど、アイルランドの香り漂うバンドのすべてが、影響を受けたことを公言している元祖アイリッシュ・バンド“Pogues”。米国のTV局VH1がとった“クリスマス・ソングBEST20アンケート”で、Wham!やBand Aid
、John Lennon等を抑え、彼らの曲「Fairytale Of New York」がTOP1に輝いたのは、まだ去年の暮れの話だ。
　マンドリン、バンジョー、アコーディオンにティンホイッスル。乾いた音色が心地よいケルト地方の民族楽器に乗せた、永遠の酔っ払いShane Macgowanの酒焼けしたシャガレ声は、果たしてどのステージに響くのか？　個人的には、夕暮れ時のフィールド・オブ・ヘブンで、ビールでも片手に聞きけたら、あと

　Joe Strummerとともに来日したこともある伝説の酔っ払いバンド“POGUES”が、Joe Strummerの魂を引き連れて、熱い苗場をさらに熱くする。see or die！！

* Pogues * http: The Irish such as Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly and Tokyo スカンクス which can boil the white stage of //www.pogues.com/ last year fragrance everything of the band which drifts, the originator Irish band "Pogues" which declares the fact that influence is received. The American TV bureau VH1 took, in the "Christmas song BEST20 questionnaire", Wham! And Band Aid and John Lennon etc. are held down, those where their tunes "Fairytale Of New York" shine in TOP1 still are story of the coming to an end in last year. Mandolin and banjo, in accordion tin whistle. The timbre which dries placed in the race musical instrument of feeling good celt district, as for the シャガレ voice where eternal drunkard Shane Macgowan is flushed, echoing as expected in some stage? When privately, with the field of heaven at the time of the evening, even with the beer hearing it can be effective in the one hand, at all rear does not need, but it is With Joe Strummer drunkard band "POGUES" of the legend which also the fact that it visits Japan is, pulls the soul of Joe and Strummer accompanies, furthermore makes the hot seedling place hot. See or die! ! By Org-imakaz

On PRS forum last week Phil Chevron said the band had NOT turned down all the 2005 festival offers ... so this just might be true.

Sayonara!

they're unlikely to just do one date?

Perhaps Australia, NZ or Los Angeles might get a show too?

Holy Smoke!!

Why are they touring Japan?

Are the Pogues big in Japan?

Surely Boston, NY and other ex-pat Irish areas should have been top of the list?

**Tue Mar 01, 2005 7:42 pm**

Shane's teeth probably turned out to be too expensive. Japanese people pay loads of money to see bands from the west.

**Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:05 pm**

Did you know you where going on tour in Japan Mr Chevron?

hehe.

It all seems a little bit too big and advanced to be a .. joke.

**Wed Mar 02, 2005 4:29 am**

all i need is for them to stop in seattle on the way back.

**Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:31 am**

Can any of our Japanese colleagues furnish us with any more info?

Like how big are the venues?

Isn't this crazy!! The Pogues popping up in Japan ...

This time they must strap MacGowan into the bullet train.

**Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:55 am**

no sake for Shane though eh? ...

we all know what happened last time!

only joking, the man can have sake if the man wants sake, if it makes him happy, then why not!

**Wed Mar 02, 2005 12:15 pm**

Shane in Tokyo ... It makes me think of Bill Murray in Lost In Translation when being interviewed by Japanese Tv. Could be hilarious. :lol:

**Wed Mar 02, 2005 12:15 pm**

... he should sponsor Suntory whisky :roll:

I don't claim to be standing in for Philip, or anyone else for that matter, but I know he's away at the moment, so I suppose it falls to me to tell you that we are indeed going to be doing three shows - hardly a small tour; it's three shows - in Japan, (and yes, I acknowledge that Shane's career with the Pogues came a cropper in Japan, oh, how many years ago was that? 13? 14? but time is a great healer) I have no details of the shows at all, other than we're going to be playing Fuji Rock, which I think we've done at least once before. Other than that, you all seem to know more than I do. But a lot of the time, that's the case, isn't it?

When I know of the details, I'll be sure to post it here.

See you later
