KOALAFORNIA CONVICTS TOUR 2012

One of the main events of 2012 took place at the beginning of March: the Koalafornia Convicts Tour. Some of the best Celtic punk bands played together a couple of shows in Southern California: The Ramshackle Army, Lexington Field and Hoist the Colors.

A mini-documentary about the Koalafornia Convicts Tour which took place March 1 to 3, 2012 in Southern California and featured The Ramshackle Army from Melbourne, Australia, Hoist the Colors from Los Angeles, CA, and Lexington Field from San Diego, CA. Also joining the fun were Green Ashes (Los Angeles) & The Fooks (San Diego). Beers were consumed, Celtic music was rocked out, tattoos were inked, and great friendships were made! Cheers mate!

DAY 1

 

 

 

DAY 2: 

Tattoos at 3rd Street Tattoo in Hermosa Beach, CA

Friday March 2nd, 2012  Slidebar Cafe in Fullerton, CA.

 

We had been waiting a while for this night to arrive.  Four bands, three spread throughout Southern California, one from the other side of the planet, set to converge for one brilliant night of music! Between Green Ashes, Lexington Field, The Ramshackle Army and Hoist the Colors, there was no way this show would be anything less than awesome!

 

The night started off with Green Ashes, playing some really good covers. Lots of Pogues and some traditional stuff as well.  After losing their singer recently, it was good to see them back up on their feet and stronger than ever! Lexington Field followed up and as always did not disappoint.  From their own songs, "Selfish Bastard" to "Tracy Boys", the energy never left once.  Beau is really belting em out these days and the band is super tight.  I am glad we have become good friends with these guys, and always look forward to playing with them.  As soon as Lexington Field powered through a blistering set, The Ramshackle Army was ready to go.  These guys had been staying at my place for the previous couple days and were really itching to let loose on an American audience.  I was floored.

There is a reason why this band is going on tour with the Dropkick Murphys.  This is one of the tightest, well put together bands I have ever seen.  On top of that, some of the most genuine kids in the scene. Their songs were crisp and packed with passion and energy, making me realize that I was watching something special.  "Bays End Guns" as well as "Fire is Burning" were played during their set and are quickly becoming some of my favorite tracks to listen to right now.  All in all, I was stoked to share the stage with this band, and hope to do so again one day.

It was then our turn (Hoist the Colors) to get up and go.  With a great turn out to the show, we had a blast! Minus a few technical difficulties, (Our acoustic guitar players battery fell out of his guitar from jumping around like a crazed school girl) the show went smoothly.  We were happy with the show went well, being that it was in our area and wanted to show the rest of the bands a great time.  Next stop, San Diego!

DAY 3:

Saturday March 3rd, 2012  Gallaghers Pub, Ocean Beach, CA

I love playing in San Diego.  The people are great, the venues are fun and everyone loves to drink!  This night was no exception.  The lineup went as follows: Hoist the Colors, the Ramshackle Army, Lexington Field and the Fooks.  Kirk from the Fooks was kind enough to open his house to all the bands for a pre show BBQ, which was great times!  We hit the stage first, which was a relief, considering we didnt have to follow any of these guys!  Although, we started rather early for a show at a bar, we still had a great time playing to those who were interested in seeing us. 

 

The Ramshackle Army followed and immediately got the crowds attention.  Gaz is a great front man, really putting everything he has into it while keeping really good pitch.  Kat is incredible on the fiddle, Loc seems like he can play anything with strings on it, especially banjo and mandolin! Nathan shreds on guitar while also lending his vocal talents to the band, and Chris aka Jig, keeps a great rhythm on bass.  The band is held together by the superior drumming of Adrian.  The kid plays super clean.  Put that together, and you get an amazing show like the one they put on in San Diego.

 

Lexington Field came on after, and really whipped the crowd into a manic state.  The energy these guys have when they play is constant, and I have seen these guys a few times now.  Beau knows how to reach the crowd, while Brian really wales on guitar.  Cami plays at lightning speeds on fiddle, while Casey and Vince keep an absolutely clean rhythm section.  Their set ended with their song "Tracy Boys", and Beau made the mistake of inviting the Hoist and Ramshackle crews to come up on stage to help them out which pretty much turned into a free for all!  It was awesome!

The Fooks ended the night with some great cover tunes ranging from Flogging Molly to Rage Against the Machine!  This weekend was great for all bands involved and its one that I will never forget.  Not only did we get to hang with our good buddies, in Lexington Field, we also became great friends with The Ramshackle Army.  I will always follow these guys because I know that they including Lexington Field, are destined for some great things.

DAY FOUR:

The gang at Pokez in San Diego and then a trip to PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres

REVIEW - THE MAGGOTY BRATS "Danse Macabre" (2010)

The Maggoty Brats "Danse Macabre" Plague Records
Release date: December 30th 2010
Running time: 29:24, 10 tracks

The Maggoty Brats are a 6 guys from Quebec (Canada) that sing in English. They define themselves as a folkabilly band. What does folkabilly mean? Let’s say a blend of rockabilly, country, bluegrass, punk and Irish folk music. Maybe it will be clearer if I mention English bands such as The Cropdusters and Macavity’s Cat.

Most of you should be familiar with “Rodeo”, the debut album by The Maggoty Brats, since it was posted here as a free download last  January 8th. So, if you’re expecting something similar, then you’ll be surprised. “Rodeo” was more "punk" than “Danse Macabre”. No more Sham 69 sounding songs like “The Ballad of St. John’s Gate”, no more Blood or Whiskey sounding numbers like “The Tempest”, no more accordion and no more Irish standards. But, before you stop reading and think that “Danse Macabre” is not worth hearing, let me say that “Danse Macabre” is a better album than “Rodeo”.

I feel that the Rick’s vocals are far better on their second album, maybe because the production is better too. I find that sometimes he sounds like The Whisky Priests’ frontman Gary Miller and sometimes he sounds like Jello Biafra. I really love the way he sings. For instance, on the opening track “Renegade Shanty”, a catchy song featuring mandolin and whistle or on “Fire in Her Eyes” another song on which Rick plays tin whistle too.

I have also enjoyed “The Great Northern Class Safari” a Los Carayos meet Louise Attaque song on which Rick plays the kazoo at the end.

Other songs that stand out are “The Ghost of Bardy” and “Misbehavin’”. The former is a catchy song and the latter has great vocals, banjo and tin whistle.

The last track on the album is a re-recording of “Rodeo”. An excellent song that I imagine it could be found on any Enrique Bunbury’s solo album (ex-Heroes del Silencio)

It's obvious that The Maggoty Brats have evolved in the right way. If you like “live” bands, then try this Canadian outfit.

Tracklist:

01. Renegade Shanty 02:33   
02. Nothin' Left (Ain't Gold) 02:15
03. The Great Northern Class Safari 02:13
04. Fire in her Eyes 04:12   
05. The Ghosts of Bardy 03:25
06. The Weakness 02:26
07. Misbehavin' 02:32   
08. Ol' Town Outlaws 02:11   
09. The Cult of the Monkey 02:40
10. Rodeo 04:33

VIDEO - BELTAINE'S FIRE "Quit My Job"

The last video from the Californian folk-rap band Beltaine's Fire.

Beltaine's Fire - Quit My Job

Song: Quit My Job

Album: Anarchitecture (http://beltainesfire.bandcamp.com/album/anarchitecture)

Band: Beltaine's Fire (http://www.beltainesfire.com and http://facebook.com/beltainesfire)

This one goes out to everyone who's ever had a job they hated and to all the shitty bosses who treat their employees like peons. Everyone has had a job like this at least once, the kind of job where no matter what you do, how hard you work, or how much you contribute your work goes completely unrecognized while the boss takes all the credit. And for the millions of working class folks who would be fired just for saying the word "Union" too loudly, sometimes the only option is to stand up, walk out that door, and keep walking until you find a better way to make a living.

Special thanks to Kerie, Annie, Al, Camile, and Cory for appearing in the video and to Charles and Stacy for shooting and producing it.

Lyrics:

i'm gonna quit my job, i'm gonna walk right out

and when the boss ask why i'm gonna let it all out

so there ain't no doubt i'm bout to put him in check

gonna quit my job, after the next paycheck

i spend my life at a desk tryna earn these checks

cash is king and it demands respect

need money to live, money to eat

money for a house or get out on the streetI repeat this mantra, memorize it

cant defeat this trap tho i despise it

a rat in a maze, chasin cheez

searchin for scraps, beggin please

i could do everything my boss does better

but he cant do half the things that i do

but he's in charge so he gets paid better

and i just scrape by and try to make do

forget that, i'm sick of this, i'm puttin in notice

they dont notice when i'm here

but when i'm gone? You bet they'll notice!

gon work on my art, blossom like a lotus

cuz i can do anything if i just focus

now, e'erybody's talking bout this recession

and unemployment's at an all-time high

and i know that I'll never find a job in my field

forget it, i'm done, not even gonna try

but I ain't gonna cry, that's just a waste o' time

instead I'm gon' wrap it all up in a rhyme

spit through the mic, call it thought-crime

make the music a movement so I can feel fine

I ain't lookin to a job to keep me fulfilled,

I am much more then a title and a check

so when people ask me "what do you do?"

I won't answer with a job the way they expect

I do the things that feel natural

so let me give an answer that's more factual:

I do what I gotta to keep my head up

and ---- the boss, cuz I'm totally fed up

my job sucks and I hate it

if you're job sucks, I bet you hate it too!

So if you're job sucks and you hate it

you got to tell me

come on and tell me

just tell me

what you're gonna do!

Gonna quit my job (walk right right out)

quit my job (and walk right out)

gonna quit my job! (walk right out)

quit my job and walk right out!

This has to be the biggest week ever for Lexington Field. It starts Tuesday, March 13, with the official release of our new EP Poor Troubled Life on New Folk Records! We have been anxiously waiting to show the world our new album, and we are super excited to be working with New Folk Records to make that happen. On top of that, our debut full length, Old Dirt Road will also be released nationally on New Folk Records that same day. Then on Wednesday, March 14, we head up to Hermosa Beach to play with Irish Rock heavyweights, Young Dubliners, at the very cool Saint Rocke. Last year we had the pleasure to play with the Young Dubs five times, so we can't wait to share the stage with them again. It will also be our first show where our new EP will be available, and a nice midweek tune up to St. Patrick's Day!

On Friday morning, March 16, we will be back in San Diego to join Sprung Monkey and Tony Cummins at Hooley's in La Mesa for Keggs N' Eggs presented by Rock 105.3! We go on at 8:30 AM and make sure to tune in before that to hear us on the radio! 

Okay, that would normally be a pretty jam packed week, but then the biggest day of the year is on Saturday, March 17...ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! Dust off your shillelaghs, because this is gonna be an insane day. First, we will be playing a matinee show downtown at Henry's Pub. This is the third year in a row we have played the afternoon there, and we are never disappointed to start the drinking early at Henry's Pub. After the show, we pack up and walk one block to the largest St. Patrick's Day party in all of San Diego...shamROCK!!! Our friends the Young Dubliners, will be headlining the night at 10 PM and guess what...we go on right before them from 8:30 to 9:30 PM!!! Also playing shamROCK this year will be The Fooks, The Fenians, and The Downs Family. It will be our biggest show yet, and we want you all to come celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Lexington Field downtown!

WEEK FOUR - CD RELEASE PARTY TIME YOU SELFISH BASTARDS

We cap off this amazing run with our CD Release Show to celebrate our new album Poor Troubled Life!!! The party is gonna be held Saturday, March 24 at The Ruby Room. We invited Hoist the Colors to come down and play our CD Release Show because it just wouldn't be the same without them. Also on the bill will be a couple San Diego local bands Black Market III and Dick Justice & The Happy Smoke. The whole process of making this album and getting it to all of our fans was quite an undertaking that started way back in the summer of 2011, and we want to thank all of you by putting on the best show ever! This is just the beginning to what looks like an unbelievable 2012. March Madness is here! 1-2-3...FIGHT!

REVIEW - LEXINGTON FIELD "Poor Troubled Life" (2012)

Lexington Field "Poor Troubled Life"  New Folk Records NFR 5722
Released date: March 13, 2012
Running time: 17:42, 6 tracks

Lexington Field’s debut album, “Old Dirt Road”, was one of the biggest surprises last year. I guess that their fan base was thinking that they would have to wait till 2013 to get a new Lexington Field recording. However, the boys (and girl) from San Diego have just released another fine recording. No, it’s not a 4 track EP, just to whet appetites. “Poor Troubled Life” is a 6 track EP that shows the different “corners” of our favourite band.

First corner: an instrumental tune. You got it, the opening track “Cripple Creek”. Genuine American  Fiddle Rock.

Second corner: a traditional song fully reworked by the band. Lexington Field has taken the Clancy Brothers “Galway Bay” and had given to it their own treatment. Yes, it’s “Galway Bay”, but a new "Galway Bay", with some Smash Mouth echoes.

Third corner: a “single”. Listen to track no. 4, “Selfish Bastard” and sing along.

Fourth corner: So Cal punk. A couple of great tracks, “Sir Captain Jones” and “Lantern Heart”

Fifth corner: something different and fresh. My fave track on the album, “Poor Trouble Life”. No angst, just a wonderful song.

Lexington Field have recently toured California with Hoist the Colors and The Ramshackle Army, their kindred spirits. These bands are not the future of Celtic punk, but the real present. Buy their recordings, they're worth hearing.


Tracklist:

1 - Cripple Creek 1:28
2 - Sir Captain Jones 3:22
3 - Galway Bay 2:43
4 - Selfish Bastard 2:17
5 - Lantern Heart 3:29
6 - Poor Trobled Life 4:10
