Nazareth Mudmen

[Archangel]

A local tavern is now bringing in live music, I just bought tickets to Nazareth. The tavern also promoted a band called Mudmen as Celtic rock. Anybody heard of them? Any reviews?

Now your messin with a... Sonuva now your messing with a sunuvabitseach... Hey, I remember Nazareth now.

I got in to a nasty all out bar fight with that song playing on the jukebox. Got hit in the back of the skull with a pool cue that night and somebody used my face to break the slate on the pool table, which was really rather rude if you ask me. Blacked out after getting face smashed. I wasn't knocked out cold, but I was blacked out. Went berserk.

When the police filled me in on all the details the next morning I was shocked.

hate that berserker thing too, especially when the police have to tell you about it. been accused of shape-shifting too, weird.
but Paul told Timothy not to talk about that, and we shouldn't either.
glad you're still here.

The Mudmen are fantastic. They're a celtic rock band, they have two big guys who wear kilts and play bagpipes as well. Lots of fun to listen to.

It's odd you mention that... I have had since childhood a repeating dream of turning in to a bear. Other strange dreams too of what seems to be another life. And my death. And the people that are the very closest to me in my life, the people that truly love me, always buy me Winnie the Pooh stuff because we share an obcession with hunney. Er, honey.

Lycanthropy. Erm, how did we go from Nazareth to lycanthropy?

I was not aware they were still around. Out doing the geriatric tour with the stones maybe?

shapeshift, warp-spasm the Celtic berserker of Irish legend, look it up, very scary.

you and I seem to move from one subject to another and back again with relative ease.

Just checked the Mudmen site, that's a .ca not .com, and they have a full 64meg video. Check it out, gotta feeling you're going to like these guys. Looks like another kilt night.

bedtime, (doing more Human Rights teaching tomorrow also government structure community stuff, cool) goodnight.

interesting reading, now I have to find a copy of The Tain in hardcover

Suddenly realized that the Mudmen were doing a free concert downtown tonight so off I went. They are good. They've got a good fan following. They were fun interacting with the audience.

Music is punk rock, sort of. The newer kind where the artists realize they can make a living doing this. The pipers are very good. It's not a gimmick in the sense that the two pipers are actually playing a variety of styles well. The video on their website, mudmen.ca, is a pretty good representation of what they do.

Bought both their cds and will definitely see them when they're back in town in a few weeks.

Finally, a concert where I wasn't the only one kilted. There were at least two others (and two on stage).

sweeeeet...these guys are great...i love all these punk/rock celtic band. it gives me hope that we can save some of our kids from mnm.

The Mudmen are a great band. The two big guys (brothers) that play the pipes are Rob and Sandy Campbell.
They were known on the competition pipe circuit as being a few of the best pipers in North America. They decided to take there act on the road with a slightly harder edge celtic rock band. If you get a chance to see them, go. You will not be disapointed. A lot of bands have one piper but they have two. You need a big sound to have 2 pipers. They have that and more.
Machummel knows the Campbell brothers. I think he made a few kilts for them last winter.
