Gonzales - The Sugar Club, Dublin, Nov. 13
Patrick Pentland of Sloan is Canadian but born in Belfast. In an interview I conducted with him once I asked him what his Irishness brought to his music. He replied that he felt Europe informed his music more than Ireland.
The Guess Who sang "American Woman get away from me" back in 1970.
40 years later Chilly Gonzales declares I Am Europe.
Canadian rock 'n rollers lean East not South. The Demics (ironically from London, Ontario) wanted to go to New York City but Peaches, Feist and Gonzales chose Berlin.
Gonzales chooses Dublin on November 13. He plays The Sugar Club.
