Blaggards
Jimmy Lebovski
Rock`n`lol
В 2003 году собрались в одном душном пабе 2 чувака: Патрик Девлин и Чад Смайли . Попивая добротное ирландское пиво и хвастая перед друг другом о своих амурных приключениях, парни сошлись на одной идее: Соединённым Штатам Америки не хватает путёвой ирландской фолк рок группы , под музыку которой можно было бы поглощать безмерно пинты пива + плясать до упаду . Позднее к парням присоединились еще 2 добровольца: Крис Бакли и Майкл МакАлоон. Вот так и началась история презамечательнейшего коллектива Blaggard .
"Мы играем так называемый Stout Irish Rock ( traditional Irish music mixed with rock n' roll) . На наше творчество очень сильно повлияли: Johnny Cash , все рокнрольщики, начиная от Elvis Presley и заканчивая Thin Lizzy , ну а также Black Sabbath." Нас часто сравнивают с Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, и the Pogues."
Если честно ,то , в принципе ,коллектив ничем не примечателен, разве что:
- У вокалиста прокуренно пиратский голос
- Под эту музыку можно с удовольствием пить пиво , мечтать о добром коне,надёжном револьвере, приключениях на Диком Западе ... а вот когда уже выпьешь прилично ,то можно и пуститься в настоящий ковбойский пляс с мордобоем (называйте это мошем или слэмом ,как хотите)
-очень гармонично сочетаются рок энд ролл с ирландскими мотивами
-эта музыка с !!!!душой!!!!

Краткое био на английском:
Blaggards (no "the", pronounced BLA' GUARDS or BLA' GHERDS, depending on where you're from) formed July 2004 in Houston, Texas.
We play what we call Stout Irish Rock, traditional Irish music mixed with rock n' roll, informed by everything from Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley to Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath. We are most frequently compared to bands like Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, and the Pogues.
Blaggards consists of original members Patrick Devlin and Chad Smalley, plus newcomers Chris Buckley and Michael McAloon.
Front man, guitarist and singer Patrick Devlin grew up in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to Houston in his early 20's. After working in the local club scene for several years, Patrick recognized a demand for Irish rock music that nobody was taking advantage of. In 1996, to this end he formed a band called On The Dole, later renamed Patrick Devlin Band. Although the band did well, opening for legendary Irish touring acts like the Wolfe Tones and the Saw Doctors, eventually Patrick decided it was time to clear the decks and start again.
In 2003, while hosting a weekly open mic at an Irish pub, Patrick met bassist and singer Chad Smalley, who had recently returned from New York City and was looking for a new project. The two began singing and performing together regularly, developing a tight vocal harmony style. A year later, Blaggards was born.
Chris Buckley, an accomplished fiddler who has won first place awards in the Midwestern Fleadh Cheoil and competed in two All-Ireland world competitions, came to Austin by way of Minneapolis, MN, where he performed in local Milwaukee, Chicago, and Minneapolis pubs. In late 2007, Chris became a Blaggard, followed by drummer Michael McAloon in 2009.
Michael, a first generation Scot-American, grew up learning Irish step dancing, winning gold medals all across the United States before picking up the drums at age 13. A veteran of the Houston music scene, Mike has toured the country many times and studied jazz at the University of North Texas.
Blaggards have toured the East Coast twice, along with visits to Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. We've opened for Gaelic Storm, Brave Combo, Brother, Cowboy Mouth, David Allan Coe, Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, James McMurtry, and Royal Crown Revue. We played SXSW in 2008, and will be touring Ireland in March 2010.

Ну что еще можно добавить о сабже кроме того что он просто ,не побоюсь этого слова, ОХУЕНЕН ! Я влюбился в эту группу с первых мелодий ! Эта музыка не оставит никого равнодушным своим добрым,разнузданным и веселым ,немножко нетрезвым, звучанием! Рекомендую всем любителям кантри, ирландского фолка и музыки,под которую можно пить пиво и плясать одновременно :lol:
