   About AMADAN
For seven years, Amadan has cut its teeth in the clubs, bars, stages, and highways of the Pacific Northwest. Seeking to break the molds of traditional music, punk rock, and live performance with their raucous and fast-paced three-hour rock shows and searing musicianship, these six have emerged from the recording of their third full-length album with a sound that is post-celtic, post-world and post-punk. This music is from the barroom and the surface streets, and represents life’s daily struggles and rewards. This is music for the revolution. This is Amadan.



we have recently released our third full length album pacifica! it is available at cdbaby and itunes. here's what people are saying:


“Is the word masterpiece too much?...nothing else sounds like [Amadan’s] new album.”

Barnicle Brian
www.shitenonions.com



“Pacifica has taken [Amadan] to the next level and even closer to the top of the list of the best bands in Celt-Fusion around the world.”

John Bowles
www.paddyrock.com



“Pacifica is all about the instruments, yielding a cleaner mix and a finer focus on playing, rather than merely rocking.”

Pat Amacher

Hey guys! You were so amazing. Thanks for making spring fling so much fun. I had never heard you guys before since this was my first year at spring fling, and then Brian picked me up and put me on the top step of Boon to dance with you guys.
It was so cool! Expect to see me at at least one of your concerts in Portland!
