Other Loonies In The Business
You may want to have a look see at Barking Monkey's home
page.
This is a Seattle based Celtic rock group which you will often times find in one of the
many fine pubs of that area. Typically they will actually be performing there as
well.
These truly wonderful folks have taken Celtic rock to the very edge of
it's boundaries. Of course they just leave it there, lying about, and someone
else must come round to tidy up.
Go and have a wee peek at their web site if you've
got a bit!
Give yourself a treat, and visit the lads of Dark
Molly
These lads are a must see! The Seattle based Celtic-rock band Dark Molly Of
course there are bloody non-believers! Take the testament of the righteous
wanker, Father Seamus Daley, who says:
"Mollygram - by Father Seamus Daley October 22,
2000 - Dear Readers, Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I have failed you, and I am
heartily sorry. Despite my best efforts and prayers for help from above, the
scoundrels who call themselves Dark Molly continue to cast their evil spell over
the young folk of Seattle. Having followed Dark Molly's hellish antics for some
time now, I thought that I must have seen the deepest depths of depravity. But
last night's scene at the Owl and Thistle was almost certainly the most godless
spectacle yet. I honestly don't know which is worse--that Dark Molly ensnares
innocent young people who don't know true Irish music and dancing from that
overblown travesty "Riverdance," or that some of them become repeat
offenders.
Oh yes, there were some lads and lasses there who
had seen Dark Molly before, and didn't learn their lesson. There was Danny, who
apparently did not heed my warnings after coming under their influence at the
Irish Emigrant a couple of weeks ago. He and his table full of accomplices
obviously need some worthier role models. There was also a young fellow named
Henry, whose excuse was that his wife prefers to hear a fiddler who plays in
tune. (Ah yes, Henry--but at what cost? And what sort of bargain did that
fiddler strike, to play that way? One involving a soul, and eternity, perhaps?)
Another fellow, whose name I didn't catch, was apparently a new victim. I
actually heard him use the word "awesome" in describing the band. I
fervently hope that it was just a slip of the tongue, accidentally combining
"awful" and "loathsome."
There were also some young ladies there, whom
I shall also not name, for they have probably regained their senses by now and
are rightly embarrassed by their lack of restraint. Hooting and hollering,
yelling to the band across the room, dancing with wild abandon... they're as bad
as the lads, I swear. I observed them closely for some time, marking every
indiscretion, and then went to offer them my expert one-on-one counseling--or
several-on-one for that matter, for I have the strength of ten men because my
heart is pure--but I fear it is too late for them.
So now, dear readers, I must ask your help. Please
have any and all attractive young single women you might know contact me by
e-mailing this web site, so that I might proactively steer them away from the
moral contagion that is Dark Molly. If they will only place their fates (and
whatever else they've a mind to) in my hands, I will strive to comfort them in
their time of need. Help me save the young ladies of Seattle from the clutches
of Dark Molly, won't you? We are all in peril, but of course in times of
emergency the rule is "Ladies first." I eagerly await your
referrals.
Sincerely, Father
Seamus Daley" 
You'll want to see The
Great Kat's home page Of course no reference to "other loonies" is complete without mentioning
New York Juilliard honors graduate The
Great Kat. This self proclaimed messiah takes a chain saw and hand grenade
approach to classical music. With CD's such as Bloody Vivaldi,
Worship
Me Or Die, and Metal Warriors Extreme, Kat has taken thrash metal classical music combined with S&M
straight into
the 21st century. Her web site mixes
gallons of blood with whips and leather and the result is . . . . . . Kat! Go
ahead and buy one of her CD's or videos. Be sure and tell her that
The
Doll Sweating Hour sent you for an extra special treat. 
Six Mile Bridge
This powerful and exciting five-piece band gives a show that's not to be
rivaled. It's silly and rough, up-close and personal, combining racing
traditional Irish and Scottish folk songs and tunes with seething rock guitar
and drums. 
The line-up includes over twenty instruments and vocals, and has a well earned
reputation for blowing the house down. Audiences have discovered this group's
ability to capture hearts with their strong lyrics and smart arrangements, their
material injected with the vitality and substance of the Celtic heritage. It's
real talent.
The Itinerants
 Outstanding
vocal harmony, tasty Celtic rock. Oh aye, these lads can bang out a bloody good
tune. Their latest disc Here's your hat. What's your hurry? makes the
grade. If you've the time, go have a look at their web
site.
