Happy St. Patrick's Day, y'all!
In lieu of shamrocky bud lites and green rivers of beerprechauns, meet Fight Like Apes and Dirty Epics—two fine bands out of Dublin comprised of 1) kick-ass musicians who do not play the tin whistle; and 2) ass-kicking frontwomen who will mess up your face. The groups played back-to-back gigs at Pianos last night, fresh off the plane from the Emerald Isle. Dirty Epics frontylady Sarah Jane Wai O'Flynn pulled off a cover of Iggy's "Search And Destroy" that pretty much came out of nowhere and set fire to the single hair on my sweaty, white chest. She later displayed remarkable patience when I used my hands to explain the relative geographical locations of California and Florida (this is the band's first trip to the States). Fight Like Apes' MayKay writhed around the dirty, dirty floor and dissolved into a pool of red satin, glitter, and extremely loud synthesizers while singing about stupified geese in a tune called Jake Summers (Check out the video below). Both bands are headed to SXSW to mess with Texas. Crooked Highway sends them glad tidings from New York! (50 bucks if you can name the Irishman I stole that from)
