Song:Breakfast At St. Swithin
Album:Weight Of Words
Fans of Celtic rock may want to check out the Canadian band The Town Pants. They are from Vancouver led by brothers Dave and Duane Keogh. They grew up in Ottawa. They led a rock band called The Van Demons. They moved to Vancouver to get into films. There are plenty of films and TV shows filmed in Vancouver and they need locals to play supporting roles and crew jobs. After The Van Demons split up, the Keoghs formed The Town Pants and recorded the 1997 album Riverdance. All their CDs are on their own label distributed by CD Baby. Aaron Chapman of The Real McKenzies joined for the 2001 album Piston Baroque. Breakfast At St. Swithin is from the 2006 CD Weight Of Words which is available as a budget CD. The music is a mix of Celtic and rock. I think Duane sings most of the leads. Fans of Celtic rock should check them out. Though The Town Pants last released an album in 2009, they still perform live. Along with the Keogh brothers, current members are classically trained violinist Johanna So and drummer Jeff Tripoli. When the Keoghs aren't leading The Town Pants, they work in the film industry. Duane is an actor and Dave works as an electrician. Here's The Town Pants performing Breakfast At St Swithin at the Music for MS Roots Music Festival in Chiswick, PA Aug. 16, 2014.
