I was chatting with a friend of mine who lives in Ireland. He was telling me about the music scene there. I asked him what was good and he told me about a band that was formed last year, (2012). He told me they are really good and I should check them out. This piqued my interest and of course, clearly, I gave them a listen.

Now, a little background on me and music. I am usually not that person who likes to go to concerts and blah blah blahs. I would rather work an event to make the time passed by quickly. I bartend (please get your heads out of the gutter), so not many people know the type a genre of music I am into. Getting me to listen to a band or singer is like setting me up on a blind date. Well, the point I am trying to make is that I don't know what kinda guys I am into. I just have to be present to see if we connect. Same goes for music.
But this time my friend was right and he'd hit a home run with this blind date, so to speak. I like this band, so much so, that I got everyone to listen to them. Well everyone I know.
THEY ROCK!!!!!
Their single Life In Real Time is a hit.
I played it at the bar, people's house-(parties), in the car, in the back of a taxi (well once to my gay friend to which he replied, saying, yea they are cute and all but, are there any black boys in Ireland. He is white btw ha ha). What can I say? When I get excited, I get excited.
The name of the band is Vann Music.
And, I happened to have the pleasure of chatting it up with their front man for a minute. Watch out for this band, they are about to cross over soon (America that is), and they are gonna be HUGE!!!!!!
AND, they are not bad on the eyes for the young ones who are not afraid to dance, and scream, and jive to great music.
But enough from me,
