Rip Notes
---------
It has now been over a decade since Gaelic Storm's career
lifted off with their appearance in the blockbuster film
Titanic. Since their big-screen debut 10 years ago, the
band's fan base continues to multiply with each new album,
turning the one time-pub-band into one of the premier
touring acts in the Celtic/World music genre. Musically,
Gaelic Storm's compelling originals and fresh arrangements
steeped in Celtic traditional melody combined with their
unique blend of world rhythms continue to broaden the
musical horizons of the Celtic music genre creating new
standards for generations to come. Highlights from their
decade-spanning career include six Billboard Chart topping
albums, a DVD, a full-length concert film featured on
HD.net in 2007-2008, song placement on two EA Sports Games,
a 2008 Hallmark greeting card featuring their song & Kiss
Me I'm Irish; countless television and radio appearances,
and of course, an appearance in James Cameron's Titanic.
Gaelic Storm has sold out hundreds of theatres and
performing arts centers and has now played to audiences
totaling in the millions.
Gaelic Storm will release their seventh album titled Whats
the Rumpus on their own label, Lost Again Records on July
8th, 2008. Inspired by the music that drives their loyal
fan base, Whats the Rumpus is a wild party of an album,
full of colorful characters and outrageous stories,
flavored with Gaelic Storm's signature acoustic sound that
gets you dancing and never lets you go. I think this is
some of the best writing we have ever done, everything
seemed to come together perfectly for this CD, says Steve
Twigger, This is the culmination of a great deal of hard
work and a barrel of good times. From the upbeat opening
title track to the final cut, The Night I Punched Russell
Crowe; (a true story involving singer Patrick Murphy), the
music captures the contagious energy of the bands carefree
attitude and infectious live performances. With
instruments ranging from African drums, Irish bagpipes and
Celtic fiddle to trombones and Cajun-style accordions, WTR
is a three-ring circus of acrobatic songs, swirling tunes
and galloping rhythms. Steve Twigger produced the project
with co-production by drummer Ryan Lacey and Pat Manske,
and additional production by Patrick Murphy. Returning to
The Zone studio in Austin TX where the band recorded their
previous release Bring Yer Wellies, Gaelic Storm also
enlisted the help of a few select Austin locals including
Lloyd Maines and 1960's psychedelic performer, Arthur
Brown, to round out their eclectic Celtic sound. To quote
Patrick Murphy, We have so much fun together as a band,
we managed to capture some of the good times we have
together on this recording.
Gaelic Storm also includes: Ryan Lacey on drums and world
percussion (graduated twice from the Los Angeles Music
Academy, once for hands and once for sticks), Pete Purvis
of Merrickville, Ontario on uilleann pipes, tin whistle,
deger pipes and highland pipes (a Grade 1 piper who
toured with award winning pipe bands including the
Braemar Pipe Band and played at 2000 Sydney Olympics) and
the newest member of the band Jessie Burns on fiddle
(originally from Suffolk, England, now living in
Colorado).
