Jared DuBach - Daily Egyptian

When the various bands in the local scene are each recognized and then categorized, there comes a slight problem with one band in particular.

The problem is how one even attempts to label a band that plays Irish drinking music, pirate sea shanties, blues tunes and has 10 men up on stage playing various instruments at the same time.

And on top of that, they often do it inebriated.

I can only imagine what someone unfamiliar with the Bourbon Knights would have thought had they happened to stroll into the Hangar 9 for the band's 2008 Krampus celebration. What kind of confused thoughts could have swam in their heads while looking at the stage? Decorated to resemble the anti-holiday sentiment of a devil-like Santa Claus figure who punishes bad children, the stage was lined in flames, and ancient-looking donkey carts filled with fake dead babies sat on the floor. The inclusion of a fully grown man in a child's lederhosen could appear to the lay person as something found in a David Lynch opium nightmare or a bizarre German porno flick.
