Carri has commandereed the SS Songfellow!

<br />
They are called <a href="http://www.finntroll-music.com/">Finntroll</a> and they are a "folk metal" band out of Finland.<br />
<br />
Their lyrics are supposedly mostly in Swedish (how would I know?), so I can't comment on those. But I like the sound and I like the video.<br />
<br />
And aside from the accordion, I love the players' ears. And horns.Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10318252514817793872noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230733217652924907.post-29915692571038179752013-11-22T07:42:00.000-08:002013-11-22T07:42:54.285-08:00Christmas Songs For No Jingle!<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Over the years, playing with the <a href="http://www.christmasjugband.com/">Christmas Jug Band</a>, I've penned enough nutty Christmas tunes to just about fill Santa's sack.

He will conduct a workshop in Techniques of Rock Accordion and will cover the challenges of giving your accordion "the guitar sound" and making it loud enough to compete with a drummer and bass player flailing away behind you. The workshops are during the day on Saturday, Sept 24.<br />
On Saturday night, Paul and TDA bass player, Lewis Wallace, will join forces with local drummer Mike Flack to play a set at <a href="http://www.parlorcitypub.com/about_parlor_city.html">The Parlor City Pub and Eatery</a>. Joining them on the bill will be fellow symposium guest, <a href="http://cornmo.com/">Corn Mo</a>. The show starts at 9 pm.<br />

First up is the Seaside Elks Lodge on Sept 8, then the Old World Deli in Corvalis on Sept 9. Finally it's McMenamins Oktoberfest at The Old St. Francis School in Bend on Sept 10. <br />
We've played a few shows with "just" two accordions, bass and drums in<br />
the past due to scheduling conflicts and such, but now we're giving<br />
this stripped-down version of the band a name to differentiate these<br />
shows from full-on Those Darn Accordions shows. We think "The Darn"<br />
works nicely, and if you're in the area next month, we hope you'll<br />
come check out the show. We'll be playing tons of TDA songs (and<br />
sneaking in a few surprises). <br />
