Whether it's playing for the President and foreign dignitaries
at the annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon or headlining World
Youth Day 2008 in Sydney Australia in front of 350,000 people,
this band rarely sits still for long
and neither does
their audience. The music of Scythian (sith-ee-yin) is a mix
of kicked-up Celtic and world music with hints of gypsy and
klezmer, all infused with a touch of punk-rock sensibility.
With
foot-stomping original songs and new twists on traditional
favorites, Scythian has created their own unique sound, which
defies genre classification (although "speed folk"
has been used on more than one occasion). Virtuosic talents
and unfailing energy are the tools these lads use to create
an electrifying connection to their audience that keeps fans
on their feet and screaming for more. Scythian is:
