The Logues: traditional party animals
April 22, 2008 |
Rena Maguire writes for UlsterMusic.com: For a band who say they formed on the 16th of March to play the next day in a St. Patrick’s Day drinking session, the self-confessed “six w*****s from Tyrone” who make up the Logues (pictured) are starting to sound very, very commercial and professional indeed. Folk bands seem to be more open to the fusion of rock and raucousness, ready to be blended with the strings of their mandolins than most music genres these days, and the Logues are no exception. Providing a blend of good and sound traditional music, with their influences coming from AC/DC and Jeremy Kyle (!) its no surprise that this wee band of eejits are releasing their first single in May 2008. Entitled “I never loved you anyway”, its what you expect from a good serious party animal band. Check them for now on www.myspace.com/logues, until their new website is ready and deserving of a website party. Bring a bottle… and expect to stay late.
