With fiddlesticks aflame, Scythian lights a Celtic firestorm and then quenches it with contemporary liquid vocals, all the while topping off the fun in functional alcoholic. |

Scythian's mod Celtic sounds are hip but unpretentious, timeless but nontraditional. The music has the soul of an Irish Grandpa with the heart of an American Grandkid. |

"Rooted in the tones and textures of the Gaelic musical tradition and charged with the rebel-rhythms of America's sexy, freedom-smitten sixties & seventies, Scythian is music by which to drink common beer, dance wild jigs, and swear in one's heart fealty-unto-death to political freedom and faithful love..." |

You have inspired a haiku in honor of Thursday, which, thanks to your gigs at Fado, is once-and-future prophet of the weekend: Fall, blessed shot glass Into the dark depths of stout Tumble, sweet car bomb |

I'm breaking the rules, but it was just too good an opportunity to miss. Hence... a Scythian limerick:
Four lads, two fiddles, some drumming | Accordion-playing and strumming | There's dancing like mad: | Not all "SYN" is bad! | Scythian's playing tonight and you're coming! |

Are rambling sentence fragments acceptable? If so,....Four friends with drums, strings and voices to loose the sounds of the Celts, strains of Bohemia and echoes of the mountains with savage precision, electrifying the traditional and deepening the modern, leaving wildly merry feet and hearts in their wake, all with addicting authenticity. |
