I used to have a semi-traditional gig at Bennigans for this date. "Semi" because I don't know how many times something has to be repeated for it to be called traditional.
And Bennigans was cool. ...the closest thing to Irish that a town of 75k people could offer. Then they closed the restaurant, and an Australian themed place sort of took the Irish crowd.
Monte Cristo = Greatest!
And now... I am playing at a bar across the street... which happens to be run by the dude who ran the bar at Bennigans.
Why is this day so much fun?
Because I get to play just about anything I want; as long as I sprinkle in some Irish stuff. My normal gig at this place is a Thursday night dance/hip hop/bass show. I usually play electro/house stuff.
But, not this Saturday!
So, here's a few songs/bands I'm thinking of playing:
Dropkick Murphys - any song
Flogging Molly - any song
Pogues - almost any song
Sick of it All - Take the Night Off
Death in Vegas - Dirt
Agnostic Front - Gotta Go
Danger Mouse & Jemeni - The Only One
Saul Williams - New Day
James Brown - Give it Up or Turn it Loose (mostly the bassline)
House of Pain - Shamrocks and Shenanigans
The Heavy - How You Like Me Now
Trans Am - Music for Dogs
Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again (Eric Prydz mix)
Pailhead - I Will Refuse
...
I went blank. Couldn't think of the rest. But that's OK. I'll be carrying CDs with me (I usually just bring the computer).
Also, there are a couple of bands that I'll do a bit of matching to their style... some punk stuff.
It should be fun.
