Ok, so the kid doesn’t look like a leprechaun…give me a break, I’m a taper not a photographer and he was the closest I could find. As good as this recording sounds, only video would really give justice to Leprechaun Catering. Apart from the drums, I don’t think there was a single traditional musical instrument played. I wish I could tell you what they played, but I’m not even sure myself…Jason Willett started out playing something with his mouth and the sound it produced was identical to an upright bass. I think there was a xylophone with alumnium foil on top, but it was played more with the hands than mallets.

As continued evidence that I’m not doing my homework, I don’t know the names of the other two guys in Leprechaun Catering, or what instruments they play. And I don’t really know how to describe the music. Oddly enough, while they were playing, it didn’t strike me so much that they were making music, but more they were painting on a canvas. I’m not saying they produced a masterpeice, but it’s certainly better than a black velvet Elvis poster. And it was fun as hell to watch!

Check out the setlist (not that exciting since it’s one track and improv)
