Hothouse Flowers Live KC album

Ireland’s Hothouse Flowers are releasing a recording of a live performance of them playing in Kansas City, Missouri in 2009.

Fiachna Ó Braonáin explains how the album came to be:

Sitting on a rumbling metro somewhere underneath Barbes Rochechouart north of Montmartre in the wonderful city of Paris I plugged my headphones deep into my ears to drown out the surrounding clatter, pressed play on a recording of the band onstage in Kansas City that I had just been sent by our friend Stephen Ceresia to find the sound of four guys playing together, singing together, sending waves of music into a glowing sunset, having a laugh and rocking and rolling!

Called Goodnight Sun the 2-disc live album has the following tracks:

DISC 1
Santa Monica,
Ar Bhruach na Laoi, I Can See Clearly Now, Forevermore, Isn’t It Amazing, Be Good, Sweet Marie, Trying to get Through.

DISC 2
An Emotional Time, Your Love Goes On, Sí Do Mhamó I, Amhrán na Trá Báine, Don’t Go

Here’s Liam’s thoughts on the new album:

We were onstage in Missouri. Kansas City Missouri. We were in the embrace of a great night and the sun was setting too my right.
‘Good night sun’ I said. ‘be back before dawn ‘!
Well you know, Fiachna was the first to hear the recording that Stephen Ceresia and Phoebie made of that great embrace of music that we were blessed to be a part of . We decided it was worth putting out there to be heard. Every single bit of this earth is beautiful at sunset . Sunrise in our hearts.
Shine on rock and rollers’!
