Scythian's Mad, Mad Masquerade New Year's Ball! December 31, 2009

It’s A Mad, Mad, Masquerade New Year’s Ball with your humble hosts: Scythian!

New York's grandest Irish bar, 7 1/2 hours, 2 bands (including Scythian!), 2 DJ's, and 1 magician will join forces to throw the grandest New Year's party in Manhattan, the heart of the world's New Year's celebrations. Add 800 revelers masked and dressed to the nines and you've got a recipe for a night that you won't soon forget - all for only $25!

Who is Scythian, you ask? Rousing and raucous, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays kicked-up Celtic and world music with hints of Gypsy and Klezmer, all infused with a touch of punk-rock sensibility. Take a pair of classically trained dueling fiddlers, toss in a rhythm guitar and the occasional funky accordion, then power it with the driving rhythm of a jazz percussionist, and you've got the ingredients for a show you won't soon forget. Their high-energy, adrenaline-peddling, interactive brand of music has one goal in mind: to get people on their feet and dancing. Their repertoire ranges from traditional and contemporary Celtic and folk music to the alluring and dramatic strains of Gypsy and Eastern European tunes, and then crosses back over the border to pickup some good old-fashioned bluegrass licks.

We've fashioned an outrageous website with pictures and beyond to pique your interest. Visit http://www.scythianmusic.com to see what all the hubbub is about. And remember, this year we have THREE days to recover from the festivities (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), so there couldn't be a better weekend to travel and join us!
