"When I first heard the band, I was immediately impressed by their obvious love of the music, the energy of their live performances, and their excellent musicianship. They bring to the music a vitality and joyous creativity that excite even the hardest of hearts." --John Doyle, founding member of Irish supergroup Solas
Molly's Revenge is pleased to announce that award-winning vocalist and accordionist Moira Smiley will be joining the band for select tours in 2008. Known nationally for her groundbreaking work with contemporary vocal group VOCO, Moira has proven her traditional skills by winning the Western USA Division of the All-Ireland Singing Championship.
Molly's Revenge has performed at many of the top folk festivals and performing arts events in the USA, and prestigious events in Australia and China. Their arrangements of traditional Celtic jigs and reels bring these dance tunes up to date with a driving, hard-edged accent that always leaves audiences shouting for more.
Their seventh full-length recording was produced by John Doyle, a founding member of Irish supergroup Solas. Guest performers on the new record include percussionist Fraser Stone (Old BLind Dogs) and Moira Smiley. Release is set for early 2008.

Gingers extinct in 100 years, say scientists August 23, 2007 02:00am
REDHEADS are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists.
The current National Geographic magazine reports that less than two per cent of the world's population has natural red hair, created by a mutation in northern Europe thousands of years ago.
Global intermingling, which broadens the availability of possible partners, has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and producing little redheads of their own.
It takes only one red-haired parent to produce ginger-headed babies, but two redheads obviously create a much stronger possibility.
If the gingers really want to save themselves they should move to Scotland.
An estimated 40 per cent of Scots carry the red gene and 13 per cent actually have red hair.
Some experts say that redheads could be gone as early as 2060, but others say the gene can be dormant for generations before returning.
National Geographic says the gene at first had the beneficial effect of increasing the body's ability to make vitamin D from sunlight.
However, today's carriers are more prone to skin cancer and have a higher sensitivity to heat and cold-related pain.
So, ladies, help out our race, sign up for the red headed breeding program today!
