Send me a message, offer me a gig, I'll give you a performance!

!“....I walked into the Oxford Art Factory with a sense of purpose - to write a review that could be published of a Callinan gig - and a sense of history. It was a long wait until Kirin took the stage (or rather corner of the room). It was worth it and that was evident from the opening chords. He opened with the stunning Mines… It’s highly original and easily Callinan’s best song. He followed this with the terrific Terrorists Today, which is as oddball as Callinan gets. The song has developed much, unlike Meoxwha, which had improved ten fold - it had become something else entirely, a greater evocation of a lack of meaning behind the "language" that Callinan uses - wailing and howling at a non-existent moon.” - Live Review of the 26th of March, 2008. By Sam Twyford-Moore.

"....Next in line was Jeff Buckley on whisky and weed, reincarnated through Kirin J Callinan; a pale angular lad of anguished and haunting vocals, accompanied by simple guitar work. There was a beautiful artistic quality to his music. Handfuls of people kept coming and going throughout his performance, for a toilet break, a smoke, a quick nibble – who knows? Regardless, Callinan ended his set with a well-received and passionate delivery of M." - Live review of the 27th of July, 2008. By "a nagging voice", fasterlouder.

Member Since: 4/15/2007
Band Website: For bookings please contact [email protected]
Influences: I had a friend that my parents considered a bad influence. Does that count?
Sounds Like: Kirin J. Callinan, the "guitar noise & vocals" of Mercy Arms (as described on their myspace) continued on with jarring sounds. What ensued was a half-naked man strumming his electric guitar repeatedly screeching out the name "Veronica" without any musical tone or finesse..."
Record Label: ???
Type of Label: None

Design this space

I'm so fuckin' frustrated with myspace. In fact computers in general. They just don't, uh, compute. But, alas, it seems as if they are a necessary evil. If anyone wants to design my myspace (thus maki...
