We have been supporting the Celtic punk scene at a global level so far (Indonesia, Brazil, China ...). Now, let's introduce Error 99, a Celtic punk band from Thailand.
"Error 99 is not so much a case of mistaken identity as of wild crossover music that fuses Celtic tunes with contemporary textures appropriated in Thai. Creating a new genre they call Thairish – which also points to the profusion of Irish pubs all over Thailand - The Irish influence makes for a compelling immediacy that draws audiences into a musical excursion which spills onto the dance floor. Comprising seven members who play a variety of instruments such as the banjo, accordion, guitar, bass, violin and drums, the robust energy emanating from each highly anticipated performance proves to be one of infectious vigour and communicable imagination" (Baybeats Festival)
" (...) Error 99, who, they claim, fuse Celtic beats with Thai sound to create, er, ‘Thairish’ pub rock (...)." (Time Out Singapore)
"Starting out in the Irish pubs of Bangkok performing Pogues covers, Thairish punk outfit Error 99 have since signed a record deal and written their own material, playing at Festivals across the country including the Save Ko Tao Festival that was hit by the storms in March." (Thai Tickert Major)
"Error 99 played an excellent set of Irish folk-punk. Their singer is one of Bangkok´s most enigmatic performers, a nervous Tom Waits decked out in a perfectly white shirt and tailored suit trousers, fronting a great line-up including accordion, banjo and fiddle. The half decent sound system managed to separate the strings from the howls and Error 99 did a good impression of the Pogues on speed. Loud, brash, anthemic, ironic, great." (Tom Vater)
