Giveamanakick Tells More Than Limericks at CMJ Music Marathon

If there’s a particular, fond memory one of our editorial team has of Limerick, Ireland, is that its french fries – or chips as they call ‘em over there – are delicious.

Yes, french fries.

Apparently, Limerick decided to share some of its wealth likely generated from said french fries and sent over Giveamanakick (Myspace link) to entertain Americans visiting CMJ’s 2008 Music Marathon at Bowery Poetry Club in NYC last night.

When Steveamanakick, Giveamanakick’s lead singer and guitarist, came out with gas mask on, audience members knew they were in for something special while Giveamanakeith provided the driving beats during the all-Irish-band evening put on by MusicFromIreland.

For a clip from Giveamanakick’s show and the East Village Podcasts interview, check out the video below:
