Irish Pub Songs Recorded Live

This weekend, we head back to the The Irish Dragoon Pub for two nights of great Irish pub music. But we have some bonus plans as well. We plan to finish recording a live CD of Irish pub songs, so we'll have it done by the end of the summer.

The idea for this pub CD started based around one song really... the Jedi Drinking Song.

Yes, I know it's not a bit Celtic. It's a song that was written by Celtic rockers, the Dust Rhinos. It was such a fun song, we decided that we should add it to our own repetoire. Since we started playing it nearly two years ago, we've had fans begging non-stop to record this song.

We carefully plan each CD that we release. And "Jedi" just doesn't fit in with our previous releases. It also doesn't fit in with our next release, Real Men Wear Kilts (check out the free stickers).

But since we're worried about going to DragonCon and being lynched if we don't record the song, we decided a live CD is the perfect solution. Plus, we can get a bunch of other Irish, pub, and filk favorites out while we're at it. Oh! And even throw in a few recordings of songs that disappeared when we discontinued Marked By Great Size and Gullible's Travels.

So, the big date is set. The Nagians are notified and are travelling from all over Texas AND the surrounding states. I know we've a couple Nagians coming in from Louisiana.

So if all goes well, this CD of Irish Pub Songs or Celtic Pub songs, or pub songs will be done by the end of the month and will make it its debut in September. So join our Celtic mailing list to find out how you can get a copy.


ADDED: The live recording did not come together, however, we did pull together to fun CDs of St Patrick's Day Music, and we're still finishing up our comical filk music CD.
