Sounds Like
Rancid's tour bus got hiijacked by a horde of drunken gypsies.
Live at Verns tavern (Calgary) with Three Good Men and The Shillelaghs, April 22nd 2008, on their Alberta / BC tour.
Vancouver's newest group of drunken misfits: The Dreadnoughts. One part roaring sea shanty, one part haunting Irish melody, and a solid chaser of gut-crunching street punk.
The tunes are manic, and the live show is not to be missed. SEE THEM NOW, so you can be one of those people who will say "Yeah, I knew them BEFORE they
died of alcohol poisoning."
Ohhh yeah, we opened for The Real McKenzies once and promise to drink any other band under the table at shows ...
yea! i saw you guys on tv on st.patty's day. i liked the comment about "the normal people" still being asleep. hahaha. and how they couldn't say "stupid swedish bastard" on tv. excellent.
Hi guys! I was just listening to your cd, and I miss you so much! I'd also like to order some cds, because I'm building up a fan base for you here in Calgary, and a few people would like to get your tunes on one of those shiny things. :)
Hey boys, Good to hear your still goin' strong and gainin' momentum. Can't wait to be playin with you boys @ the Belmoral on the 25th! it'll be good times. Untill then, Cheers!
man you get a lot of spam!..i am doing my research so i can come in the door and actually sing along with stuff instead of pretending I am so drunk to cover up not knowing the words...one day i shall view all this splendour live and be a real honest to god groupie..well, for a second or two anyway ;)
