Czech Inn – The Confusion

The third band up was The Confusion. Again, a fairly young band, but they have lots of promise. They too are made up of 5 members -Lewis Kenny (Vocals), David Bellew (Lead Guitar), Michael Treacy (Rhythm Guitar), Mark Lynch (Drums), Dean Glennon (Bass). They have a sound kind of like something out of the 1960’s but are quite enjoyable. The lead singer has a good voice, and the group grooves well together – which is why they’ve made it to at least the semi-finals of a local band competition.

You can checkout their facebook site here – http://www.facebook.com/TheConfusion?fref=ts – note that they do have a link to reverb nation with some sample tracks.

As always, more photos can be found on my flickr site – with a collection of pictures from the evening, here.

Czech Inn – Shiloh Palace

Second band up was Shiloh Palace. They’re fairly young – and in this case, the drummer wasn’t playing the traditional drum set in the corner. He was sitting on a wooden box beating out the rhythm with his hands and using his feet as well. This was interesting to listen to and to watch, and I quite enjoyed their musical style.

Czech Inn – T’anks General

3/22/2013 – Day two of gigs – Friday night- and it’s the joy of 4 more Bands this weekend. This time it was at a venue I’d never visited before, but they have local music on Friday nights under a program called “Freak Out Dublin” . Gigs are in the downstairs pub area, which has a small but well set up stage. The basement is long and narrow – with some cool lighting around the bar and some fabulous white couched areas to chat. Photography in here is a bit of a challenge because on one end of the stage it’s a bit of back lighting, and on the other, spotlights over the drummer. There are also portable lights illuminating the singer and guitar players and which are moved with each band. As a result, most of these had to be flipped to black and white – rather than color – but hey, it just means rising to the challenge – and earning my keep.
