I have a gig the day before. Does that count?
Does the Friday before St. Patty's count? You bet your shillelagh!
The Irish pub here only has bands that do Irish music as their main genre.
Ah, that's a REAL Irish place. Most of the clubs over here at the beach cities are poser places that just want rock and pop so the young'uns can come in and order more green beer. But I've spent many an evening playing at Houlihans, Keegans, and Killians througout the year. It's a good thing for bands that Irish pubs are around in LA, since they're some of the few that haven't gone entirely away from live music or adopted DJs as their sole source of music.
