We are not irish – and don’t pretend to be.
We play Folkpunk – and we play it "Pokes"-style.
With our 2nd album “Poking the fire…” we have proved that Berlin is also a great address for Folkpunk. On many festivals, in pubs + clubs and even offshore we demonstrated how our way of Folkpunk can kick arse. And that will be continued – so look out!
We've got banjo, accordion, acoustic guitar, bass and drums - played by 6 guys with musical backgrounds that couldn’t differ more.
You can hear and see the fun we had writing those songs and lyrics.
Wir sind keine Iren und wollen auch nicht so tun.
Wir spielen Folkpunk – und zwar "Pokes"-Style!
Mit unserem zweiten Album "Poking the fire..." haben wir "Pokes" bewiesen, dass Berlin auch für Folk-Punk eine Top-Adresse ist. Auf zahlreichen Festivals, Clubs + Pubs und selbst auf hoher See sind wir bisher unterwegs gewesen um auch live zu zeigen dass man mit Folkpunk richtig abräumen kann. Und es geht natürlich weiter.
6 Herren mit musikalischen Backgrounds, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, heizen auf akustischen Instrumenten (Banjo, Akkordeon, Gitarre, Bass, Drums) mächtig ein.
Den Spass, den wir beim Schreiben der Songs und der Texte hatten, könnt ihr Euch nun selbst erhören oder gar sehen.
