Saw Doctors New Album
So I log into Amazon to check an order and what do I see? The Saw Doctors have a new album coming out in April! I preordered it right away of course! That prompted me to go back through my SD CDs, I think I pretty much have them all. I got really excited for about 10 seconds. Then I started to realize how long it had been since I saw them in concert. That sucks!
I had a great time every time I saw them. I think the first time was St Paddys day 2002 in Boston. I had found out about them from the web, and bought tickets to the show at the roxy. I thoguht about not going, but a friend of mine said that they were really good. So I drug myself down to Boston just in time to see the opening band leave the stage.
That was when Villians came out. I picked up a copy that night. I think, there was a lot of Guinness involved you know. From day one, I have always been impressed by the energy the band has, as well as the crouds they attract. Between the show that night, and when when I left the states, I think I saw them 6 or 7 times.
The farthest I ever traveled to see them was in Syracuse Ny, something like 8 hours each way. The most fun I ever had seeing them was at the Irish festival in NY, followed very closely by a show they did at the Irish cultural center in Boston.
Now I am in Italy, and I enjoy it here. However, I dont think the music scene anywhere can top the music scene in New England. I used to use Saw Doctors concerts as an excuse to go somewhere and see something new, meet new people. I never met a Saw Doctors fan I didnt like. It was like having some sort of extended family. Damn I miss those shows!!!
Good Luck on your new album guys. Maybe I will catch a performance of it somewhere. (for those of you poor folks who havent had the pleasure of hearing or seeing them perform, check out their website for dates.)
