evening out
As mentioned in passing elsewhere, the nearest thing I made to a resolution was to get out more. So advised by local listings from The Event Guide that The Tycho Brahe (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wisn: "good thing it's not just any tycho brahe.") were playing in the International Bar, I took myself into town to see them. In a somewhat typically Irish fashion, the gig was listed as starting at 8:30pm; the barman said it'd start at 9; the doors opened at 9:15, and some guy did a fairly rough and mostly unpleasant dj job until some time after 10 when the band took the stage. I'd not heard anything by the band before, but I'd heard great recommendations from Dave Fanning who in my opinion is the only DJ worth listening to these days. And Tycho Brahe didn't change that opinion. The singer's voice is in the almost traditional Irish rock style, but the music had hints of everything from jazz to Kate Bush to The Mission to Elevator Suite to... well, I ran out of comparisons. Given that Sunday's early closing, they only played for an hour, but I picked up both their CDs on the way out (released on their own, thus non-evil, label Konstantin Records) and will most definitely be going to see them again.

no subject
This seems to be typical of bars/clubs offering live music in general. Either that, or there are more Irish bars in the U.S. than I thought.
The band sounds quite cool, though. I will check them out.
