Next time you chat with the DKM guys, how about asking them to consider an East Coast tour sometime. Lots of folks out here would love to have a chance to see them in person.

Seems like there's always a show going on around here for some reason.

One of the advantages to living in the Boston area, I guess.

I just saw them, as they used to say, "Wicked!"

Their music was darker than the groups I have heard thus far.

Rocky,
I have a videotape of the whole show that will soon be in the Post to Phoenixville very soon. It should arrive before your return from the Emerald Isle. Kilt looked excellent. Only at the very end did Scruffy swing around enough to show off the pleats (awesome). Their performance was the last on the show. You may want to fast forward through the adverts, and earlier segments.
I hope you are enjoying your well earned vacation.

Galician,
The main performance was the "State of Massachusetts", which is a commentary on the Commonwealth's Department of Social Services. A State agency that has been renamed by most of the residents as "Does Stuff Stupid" as like all government bureaucracies likes to use its initials. Their range of music is from the darker side all the way to very light Celtic fare.

Thanks for the links. I was hoping that the new album would be better than the last few. Disappointed again.
