Reilly kicks some Christmas, ahem, thoin
Luckily, for Milwaukee, we've got Reilly, one of the bands that picked up the baton and continues to generate high-octane Celtic rock. For examples of the way the band -- which shares members with Beatallica -- rocks it green, look no further than 2007's "Saints of the Ocean," the band's second full-length. The band is back with a new disc and this one is filled with holiday cheer.

The week in local music: March 17, 2008
It's St. Patrick's Day in the United States, so we know you're going out; it's only a matter of where. Just about every bar and restaurant in the city has the good business sense to capitalize on this booziest of holidays, but how many of them have live Irish music actually worth listening to?

Beatallica upends two legendary rock bands
Take one part Beatles, one part Metallica and one part Michael Tierney and pals and you've got a good start for an oddball band. Add a healthy dose of humor and parody and you've got the fun and funny -- and quite popular -- Beatallica!
