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 LightsLive in Concert packages together a high definition DVD along with two CDs of the entire show in one neat little collection.

But you will quickly forget the technical aspects as you get drawn into the performance that is The Killdares live.” [Read entire review here]

DALLAS — Thursday night, a band unlike any other in the DFW area hosted a screening to show off their upcoming live-in-concert DVD. The Killdares are a Celtic rock band that blends a power pop sound with a mix of rock ‘n’ roll hooks and a sometimes-traditional Celtic rock flair – thanks to the amazing use of fiddle and bagpipes. The result is an easy-to-listen-to, accessible sound for people of all ages. And perhaps because of that, the band has quite a large and loyal fanbase…Read the entire review here.

Up until six weeks ago, I had heard of The Killdares but had never heard any of their music. Then, I heard them play a summer concert series in a town near my home outside of Fort Worth
