...the Kissers, a young five-piece Irish band from, of all places, Madison, Wis., put across a set of dynamic Celtic-influenced rock. Led by singer-bassist Ken Fitzsimmons, whose lyrical earnestness (in keeping with Irish tradition he writes serious songs about love and war) couldn't dampen the fun of the music...
Propelled by Pete Colclasure's accordion and keyboard, Joe Bernstein's martial-paced drumming, Waylan Nate Palan's electric guitar and the show-in-itself sight and sound of the impossibly cute Kari Bethke's fiddling, the Kissers give music fans a reason to watch the schedule for the next appearance.
I'm just heartbroken that I missed your last show! At least I still have oh so many happy memories of you guys and how many fun times you facilitated :)
Great show last night. Thank you guys for all the years of great music and fun and shots of terrible whiskey. I've only ever watched one load-out before, and I'm very glad that it was that one. You guys suck and you guys rock. You're still my favorite band in the world. Now get workin' on that next album and the reunion tour. I expect to see you guys back in La Crosse in no more than a couple months. Long live The Mighty Kissers!
Great show last night! You put on quite the marathon of a show. Here are the videos I shot with my digital camera that night. Take care and I'll miss the grea
