The Answer!

Last night, Australian Andrew and I had the pleasure of seeing The Answer at Beat Kitchen, a fabulously small venue, the likes of which they will probably not be playing the next time they roll through town. They put on a fucking awesome show. As I said before, they're a hard rock band from Northern Ireland, and they generally kick ass. Get their debut U.S. full-length release, Everyday Demons, and their EP, Never Too Late, immediately.

Here are a couple hazy shots from the show:

After the show, the band hung around Beat Kitchen. I did shots with the bassist, Michael Waters (who was wearing a very awesome Rolling Stones Some Girls t-shirt). The lead singer, Cormac Neeson, was nice enough to take a picture with Australian Andrew and me.

I'm not kidding when I tell you to go see them if they come to your town. They're opening for AC/DC, but they often play small venues the night before or after their big-venue shows, and they're only going to be in North America for a few more weeks. See them in small venues while you can. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Here is their remaining North American schedule:
