About the Bands
Amadán is an Irish-Gaelic colloquialism for fool or idiot,
and a Pacific Northwestern colloquialism for the Irish punkrock
institution that attacks the senses from all six sides and routinely
orchestrates chaos out of throngs of expectant fans. This band
exists for each other and for these people—a crew as integral
to the phenomenon as the rogues’ gallery of musicianship
itself. So climb aboard, batten the hatches, hold onto your pint,
and watch this ship of fools rock the boat. Fists in the air and
backs against the wall!
