notes
The McCabes have been around for six years. We have played about a thousand gigs, most of the earlier ones in bars, many of the recent ones at festivals. We are very popular in New York. People have been known to get very drunk while listening to our band; don't know why but that's a fact. That's why bars are always calling us up.They kow folks will buy a lot of beer. We enjoy playing bars but we really like playing festivals; it's the smell of the grass and the sound of the birds in between sets, and hanging out with other bands on the bill. Makes you realize why you got into playng music in the first place. 'Dark before The Dawn' is our third cd, recorded in one day. You might be able to hear that while you listen; I would call the sound on this cd rough but spontaneous. I think Paddy's Day is one of my best songs. It's a description of the vibe in NYC on Paddy's Day.
The last song, 'Wish I didn't but I do (love you)' is also one of my better songs, in my opinion. It describes the love/hate relationship that existed betwen my girlfriend (now fiance) and I at the time. Sometimes you don't want to be with someone but you have no choice. It's kind of like that with music too. Sometmes you don't want to be doing it but you have no choice. It has you by the balls. Call it love!!
Thanks,
Sean.

I don't know about the unevenness of the sound mentioned in the description-- I love this cd!! I play it all the time. Very distressed to discover this band and then find out Sean has moved to Sweden--what?! I was looking forward to getting drunk with everyone else at one of their gigs!
