I was at an aslan gig last night. there was free beer and finger food. I was never a fan before, but they would wipe the stage with any band in Ireland. Christy may be a bit "weather-beaten" at this stage, but i'd believe him over bono or Christy Moore any day. The band appeal to a certain demographic allright, i think thats down to their appearance and attitude more than their material, which by the way, wasn't that bad. They made me feel like i was smoking a johnny blue outside a chipper in finglas for the couple of hours they stole from me last night. So in short, I'm probably going to be mentioning Aslan a lot more from now on, and probably wont tolerate any abuse pointed in their direction.
