Post-Pogues, any outfit crossing traditional Celtic themes with rock 'n' roll is going to get mentioned with Shane MacGowan's bunch. As usual that's somewhat misleading. While the Pogues' stuff was a gutty, ale-soaked swill, the Few seamlessly knit Irish trad into modern folk-rock.
The Foggy Few from Bergen, Norway, is a folkrock band inspired by Irish and Scottish music. From its start in September 2003, the band has been on the bill with major Norwegian artists, touring every corner of the country. In a short amount of time The Foggy Few has gained a reputation as an awesome live band, and has developed into one of the most exciting new folkrock bands in Norway. Their music has made people compare them to bands such as The Pogues, The Waterboys and The Hooters, which must mean that The Foggy Few are on to something good, although their sound is very much their own. The band's summer hit "Summer Feelgood" has been playlisted on Norway's biggest radio channel, NRK P1. The Foggy Few's debut album is out?now and it is called "The Pint of No Return".
