About this Artist

About This Item

Inspired by the music that drives their loyal fan base, "What’s the Rumpus?" is a wild party of an album, full of colorful characters and outrageous stories, flavored with Gaelic Storm’s signature acoustic sound that gets you dancing and never lets you go....From the upbeat opening title track to the final cut, “The Night I Punched Russell Crowe” (a true story involving singer Patrick Murphy), the music captures the contagious energy of the band’s carefree attitude and infectious live performances. With instruments ranging from African drums, Irish bagpipes and Celtic fiddle to trombones and Cajun-style accordions, WTR is a three-ring circus of acrobatic songs, swirling tunes and galloping rhythms. Steve Twigger produced the project with co-production by drummer Ryan Lacey and Pat Manske, and additional production by Patrick Murphy. Returning to The Zone studio in Austin TX where the band recorded their previous release Bring Yer Wellies, Gaelic Storm also enlisted the help of a few select Austin locals including Lloyd Maines and 1960’s psychedelic performer, Arthur Brown, to round out their eclectic Celtic sound.

Fun For All!by Megan-R

September 27, 2010: This is one of the most fun albums I own - I could listen to it over and over again (and often do) on long drives, around the house, etc. There isn't a bad song on it - every one is catchy. "The Night I Punched Russell Crowe in the Head" might be my favorite song ever - it cracks me up just thinking about it. You don't have to be an experienced Irish music fan to enjoy this album - a sense of humor is essential, but how would you get through life otherwise? It's great that Gaelic Storm is finally established enough to do their own thing - not that their arrangements of traditional songs weren't great, but they are much more than that.

I Also Recommend: Bring Yer Wellies, Rant and Roar, Live, Vol. 1.
