    Off Kilter

    My wife and I were recently in Florida on holiday and spent a great deal of time in Epcot Center. While there, we happened upon a band in the Canadian Pavillion. I did a search and saw they were mentioned in the forum a while back. But now I'm got pics.

    Off Kilter is thieir name and they're a whole lot of fun to watch. Need to pick up some of their CD's.

    Start of their pics in my gallery

    I was actually depressed I didn't take my kilt along. I need a more rough-and-tumble one I can wear in the summer.

    Off-Kilter...

    Last summer my boss brought in Off-Kilter's first CD for me to borrow, and once I listened to it, I was hooked. I especially like the track with "Farewell to Nova Scotia" & "Scotland the Brave"; the latter is great when the windows are down and the sun-roof is open on the Honda! :mrgreen:

    My mother-in-law went to Florida in Fall '04 for a conference in Orlando, and stopped by the Canadian pavillion in Epcot and picked me up one of the CD's.

    The piper is in Nova Scotia tartan -- makes me want that in a kilt even more! ;)

    I was the one who originally posted about them, btw! :mrgreen:

    Their web site is: http://www.offkilter.net.

    Cheers,

    Todd

    They are absolutley one of my favorite groups. I saw them at an Irish festival a couple of years ago and bought a CD. I love the CD, but it does not touch their live show.

    Off Kilter

    I saw them they were pretty good I bought their cd Celtic Armadillo I was the only one in the crowd wearing a kilt. I was surpised that they are better live then recorded. Too bad they don't tour in Canada.

    Nice call on these guys my friend!

    They appear in the northeastern USA quite often at festivals and games. They're also funny as all get-out!!! I was able to play a set with them in Maryland, and the energy that they have is immense. I was very impressed with the post-gig spread, and their ability to throw back liquids. MY KIND OF BAND!

    I'll confirm that these guys are great! We saw them at Epcot when we were there in October. I WAS kilted, in my SWK standard in nightstalker, but I was the only one other than Offkilter. Bought 2 CD's and love them. I actually took more than a few pictures and captured some video as well. Will post soon, maybe over this long weekend!
