REALLY? 6 years we’ve been doing this? WOW. Come on out despite the Wednesday night. Call a cab and call in sick. You will be blown away by the Sandy Creek Pickers and the Cowboy Dave Band. And then we’ll try to finish the show with some classic Killigans’ charm.

Make sure to pick up a copy of Honor if you haven’t grabbed it yet.

Thanks!

A couple of people have posted Killigans reviews online in the past week, so check them out. First off, Audrey Kay reviews our Lincoln CD Release show here: http://www.slamomaha.com/music/review_articles.asp and secondly, John Bowles of PaddyRock.com reviews HONOR here: http://www.paddyrock.com/?p=258

Photographer Emir Plicanic took some great shots at the Knickerbockers late show, check them out here: http://www.emirplicanic.com/ns-files/killigans-cd-release-concert.php

A final announcement is that we have taken down the HONOR full album preview, but there are still a couple of tracks on the MUSIC page, along with selected songs from all the other recordings. HONOR is now available online (both CDs and MP3 downloads) at CDBaby.com – http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/TheKilligans1  so check that out. We should be up on iTunes and a handful of other sites within a short time too.

As always- thanks for supporting Killigans! We hope to play a show near you soon!

L.Kent Wolgamott posted a great (in our opinion) review of Honor in today’s Lincoln Journal Star. A couple of phrases that jumped out are:

The Killigans are fixtures on the local scene and are known for delivering propulsive, passionate shows. With “Honor,” the six-piece band has made a record that lives up to what they do live.

and:

I’ve listened to “Honor” a handful of times in the past week and am more impressed each time I hear it.

Be sure to read the whole thing here:

It’s always great to read a positive review of an album (which we have been lucky to have a few) but it’s even more validating to us that Wolgamott mentioned that the album is indicative of our live shows. We’ve always felt like we are a live band, and have had some difficulty in recreating that energy and power in the studio.

We feel that Honor is our best album to date. We hope you like it too!

Don’t forget that you can listen to the whole album for a limited time here : http://thekilligans.com/honor-preview/

Don’t forget that you can listen to the whole album here : http://thekilligans.com/honor-preview/ for a few more days!

Hey all- we thought we’d better get “Honor” online so you can check it out in full. Go to HONOR PREVIEW on the menu on the right, or just follow this link: http://thekilligans.com/honor-preview/

We’re excited to have you hear it in full, and hope you like it!

Don’t miss the upcoming CD Release Parties at Knickerbockers and Slowdown – it’s going to be great!

Yes, our long awaited 3rd full length “Honor” will be in stock at these shows. I just got word it will be here Tuesday. We cant wait. A little word on the album:

We spent about 3-4 months in the studio this summer/fall recording this thing. We spent the last 2 years writing it. I believe we started shortly after One Step Ahead of Hell was released. As with the last 2 albums the majority of the writing was done by Brad and myself (Chris). We really just wrote what we were feeling during this stretch in our lives. Sometimes serious, sometimes not, but we tried to give this album a little different vibe than the others, while still holding true to our core beliefs and writing styles. As always, you will find a mix of different things going on. Ben even threw in a track to keep me and Brad honest. Take this album for what its worth to you. I think there is something on there everyone can relate to and see themselves in, we like to hope so anyways.

The following weekend we will be doing a release show up in omaha at the slowdown…
