bLue Smee: Let it FADO!!!

It’s been 7 months since Scythian has played at DC Irish Pub Fado, but they’re back!!! Scythian kind of sounds like it would be hard core heavy metal, not at all (you’ll never read about me going to something like that ) It’s celtic/folk/irish rock music- not as harsh as Drop Kick Murphey’s, but same idea and they’re awesome.

A couple weeks back we noticed Scythians line up was anywhere and everywhere except for DC and there wasn’t a sign of their return to Fado. Disappointed that perhaps our local favorites got “too big” for the area they managed to get 2 shows in for October… one happened to be last Thursday.

Somehow the thought of waking up early, going to work, and functioning like a normal person slips your mind as you drink your ale of choice, sing, stomp, jump and clap your hands. The band seems to manage convincing people quite easily to stay until the lights come up and everyone is officially kicked out (around 2 AM)- and it’s always worth it.

Don’t come to Fado when Scythian is there wearing your favorite blouse or pair of shoes. it Don’t come if you easily get offended if people shove and push you and most likely will spill a little beer on you- it just happens while everyone is dancing and singing. If you don’t think you’re “that kind of person” I dare you to try and come sometime and not have fun.
