The Kissers
The Irish are fun to celebrate and to celebrate with. These are the people who gave us Guinness, Joyce, Yeats, U2, and those βKiss Me, I'm Irishβ buttons. The Kissers draw on the spirit of traditional Irish music while incorporating rock verve. Here, in advance of St. Paddy's Day, are two shows; the afternoon performance is family-friendly; the evening show is for ages 21 and up, and includes a set by guests The Currach. For longtime fans, a heads-up: Former member Nathan Palan will be joining the band for these shows.
press release: The Kissers return for their annual St. Patrick's Day show at High Noon Saloon with TWO SHOWS!

The Kissers are known for the frenzied energy of their live shows, their off-kilter humor, and their eclectic instrumentation. Violin, banjo, accordion, and an array of sonic effects combine with diverse musical influences for a unique sound that straddles the gap between indie-rock and Irish music. Audiences and reviewers, trying to describe them, cite bands as varied as the Shins, Pogues, and the Decemberists. The Kissers maintain that they are rock musicians who learned to play Irish music, not vice versa, and so their music sometimes feels more at home in a club than in a pub.
