Pop Culture Zoo REVIEW: Up Against The Lights

“…My high praise for the band and their music has only increased over time and, with their newest release, they’d earned a place on my bucket list of bands I need to see live. Recorded on July 30, 2010 at the historic Granada Theater in Dallas, TX, Up Against The Lights – Live in Concert packages together a high definition DVD along with two CDs of the entire show in one neat little collection.
If you have a high end home theater system then the DVD will be a very nice treat for you. Dim the lights and crank up the volume. The picture quality is superlative and the sound is crisp and clean. But you will quickly forget the technical aspects as you get drawn into the performance that is The Killdares live.” [Read entire review here]
Proud to support Westone…the In-Ear Experts
Posted by The Killdares on Jun 7, 2011
Today we are extremely happy to announce that The Killdares have received an endorsement deal from Westone. As one of the pioneers of the in-ear monitor, Westone ”continues to be guided by an unwavering devotion to develop in-ear devices that bring out everything in the music for an unequaled sound and an unparalleled listening experience.” A description that we felt was a perfect match for our band, given how seriously we take our “listening experience.” We will be joining an elite group of players that includes such artists as Aerosmith, The Cranberries, Goo Goo Dolls, INXS, Natalie MacMaster, George Straight and Weezer. For more than 5 years we have relied on in-ear monitors to help elevate our performance while on stage. Now we are proud to say we will soon be doing it with Westone leading the way.
