Thanks to Paddy Rock Radio I got to hear some music by Flatfoot 56, a Celtic Punk band out of Chicago, and discovered that they were going to perform in the area. First, if you want to hear a great mix of Celtic rock, go check out the online radio from Paddy Rock! It's helped me find bands I wasn't aware of and has certainly effected my spending on iTunes.
I decided to contact the band to see if I could photograph them for Paddy Rock as well as myself and thanks to TK of The Kreellers, I was able to get in touch with their management, Christian Picciolini with SINISTER MUSE, and get a photo pass.
There were four bands playing that night: Grooveshire, Duppy A Jamba, Flatfoot 56 and The Toasters. I was there strictly for Flatfoot 56 and got to meet the band. I took this shot of Tobin, lead singer, before their set and loved how it turned out.
The guys were awesome and I've become a big fan of their music. If you get a moment, check out their latest album, Jungle of the Midwest Sea. My favorite songs are Loaded Gun and Chinatown Jail Break. I love the energy of the music and love the bagpipes and mandolin from Josh, the only unrelated member of the band.These guys are very talented and have great attitudes. Check them out if you get a chance. You can also check them out on their Myspace site at http://www.myspace.com/flatfoot56.
