September 17, 2014 | The Killigans, mandolin fight song?
Nothing stirring like a good old traditional college fight song. Our old alma mater the University of Nebraska has a few, but one recently came across the desk, and updated punk/folk version featuring, you guessed it... mandolin.
These guys, native Lincoln Nebraska six-piece band, The Killigans put the "man" in mandolin.
Enjoy:
