Clanadonia & Tartans
I go through phases. Generally, I know the type of music I like, but . . . .
Every once in a while I see / hear something different. Very different. Something that at least for the while, I rather enjoy. I don't know how long it will last but for now, I'm rather impressed with a very VERY VERY strange band called Clanadonia. (Sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CdO1AOXLFs ) They're kind of like pipes and drums meet gunge, goth, weird. Very weird. But I like them. At least for now.
Anybody know what tartan they're wearing?

According to Post #10 here http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...nd-kilt-78681/ ". . . the kilts are the ones they wore as extras in the movie Braveheart."
So, possibly Braveheart https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=340

Here in Southern California for 25 years we've had, at all our local Games, our own version of that sort of thing, The Wicked Tinkers.
The Wicked Tinkers are a bit more sophisticated, if that word could be used in connection with this style of music!
The piper is a respected top-level piper/piping judge/teacher, the shorter guy on the wide drum is a very respected Balkan drummer.
Here they are live at a Highland Games
