Music This Weekend
We've another 2 very different but hopefully appealing music gigs this weekend.
If you're a Rolling Stones fan than come along on friday night at 8:30 to see the best named tribute band in the world 'The Rollin' Clones' on friday night. Our general criteria for tribute bands in the Balor is that 1) The have to sound like them 2) They have to look like them and 3) The real band has to be either dead or so expensive that we'd have to mortgage the place to get them. The Clones fit the bill on all three counts. They're note perfect, they are the spitting image of the band (have a look at the posters, that's not Mick Jagger on them that's the Clones lead singer!) and unless we win the lotto this is as close as the real thing is ever going to come to Ballybofey. As an added bonus we have local Letterkenny band 'The Back Pedal Brakes' doing some fine support.
The saturday gig a midnight jazz gig. This is a new departure for us and we're really excited about it. If it goes well, we'll look to make this a monthly thing. Osteti are from Paris and offer a sound that's a mixture of Saul Williams, Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, the Beastie Boys and Miles Davis, into an intoxicating jazzy mix of Spoken- word, electro and soundpainting.
We think it's going to be a really different fun night - if you're debating whether or not to come down, come along, take a chance. If after having a listen you decide that it's not your cup of tea we'll have no problem giving you your money back.
