From Derry: Fighting With Wire at CMJ 2008 Music Marathon

From Northern Ireland came Fighting With Wire (MySpace link) to the stage of New York City’s Bowery Poetry Club on Thursday night.

The last of five Irish bands to perform during the MusicFromIreland showcase, the band rocketed through a 45-minute midnight set which included music influenced by classic late-80′s, early-90s bands like Nirvana, Fugazi and Soundgarden according to lead singer/guitarist, Cahir O’Doherty.

To view the EVP interview with Cahir – who counts skinny jeans and well-manicured hair as his pet peeves about the current music scene – and a clip from the show, click below:
