Can Kickers, Live At Lavazone, Fistolo Records, 2007Foutraque de chez foutraque avec fiddle entraînant et qui peut devenir agaçant à la longue si on ne se laisse pas prendre par les vagues successives de l'instrument porté par la pulsation plutôt binaire de la batterie ; les variations se font surtout sur le tempo durant les morceaux, les mélodies sont assez minimales... Mais bon sang de bois, quelle énergie ! Cet enregistrement live laisse présager de sacrés concerts. Les Can Kickers balancent une musique traditionnelle (Bile Them Cabbage Down, Shenadoah X...) passée à la moulinette punk.
Peut être qu'avant que l'électricité, que les postes à musiques, les boîtes de nuits et les concerts grands messes devant des milliers de personnes débarquent - quand les gens se réunissaient pour faire et écouter de la musique et danser - les rencontres ressemblaient à un concert des Can Kickers : une joyeuse fête bordélique au son des chants qui causent de la vie de tous les jours, du banjo, du washboard, du fiddle des cowbells et d'une batterie... lachés à 220 km/h dans le répertoire traditionnel. Hi Ha ! Old "punk" time is not dead.
Paddy won't you drink somme good old cider ? par les Can Kickers en concert.
