This one seems like the only appropriate way to end the weekend and St. Patrick's Day. I thought about posting " To Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral (That's An Irish Lullaby) " to end today, but that song is too depressing. Better to go out with a bang and some "Drunken Lullabies" then to just quietly drift to sleep... iTunes Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
‘Folk Punk’ is one of those catch all terms that’s been bandied around quite a lot in recent years and, personally, I find to be a little lazy and uninspired. More often than not it’s used to pigeonhole artists and records that contain an acoustic guitar and some semblance of punk rock ethics in place of more appropriate terms. In the case of Dave Hughes & The Renegade Folk Punk Band, however, this shoe fits and they wear it very well. Mixing modern punk, rock & roll and traditional folk, ‘In Death Do We Part?’ sees the band [...]
Photos and words by Debi Del Grande The musical family of seven stopped by Fox Pomona Theatre on its 9th annual Green 17 Tour. Flogging Molly has had the same lineup for 15 years. Rare. Yes. But no surprise its fans have been dedicated for years. The party never stops and the voice of the working class will never be deafened. Molly Malone's (the place where it all started) is sure to be packed on Sunday. Cheers. [...]
While my fellow bloggers and all-around music loving nerds are spending spring break in good 'ol Austin, Texas for South By Southwest this week, some of us left behind in the cold, slushy weather are likely seething with jealousy. To warm us over and giving us something to look forward to, the good people at Osheaga released (after a [...]

Tuesday night, there's a great show at the Paramount Theatre with Flogging Molly, Mariachi El Bronx , and Donots and then we have Star Anna, Jason Dodson & Kevin Barrans, and Erin [...]

Reuben Cox The Toronto Urban Roots Festival has existed under a shroud of mystery since its existence emerged late last month , and even with its grand unveiling last week, it still only had two acts on its opening night - She & Him and Camera Obscura - to its roster. A promising start, but still eliciting more questions than excitement. That balance has arguably skewed in the other direction considerably with yesterday's announcement of Belle & Sebastian as the headlining act on the festival's closing night, July 7. That they're [...]
Last Thursday night, we ventured out to Marathon Music Works to celebrate St. Paddy's; err, Valentine's Day with the rambunctious Celtic rock stylings of Flogging Molly! I had been looking [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Torche w/ Primate, Whores. Friday, February 8 529 - 529 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 Admission $10 ADV / $12 DOS / Purchase Tickets It's not necessarily rare to find a band as tight and ferociously heavy as Torche . But when you throw all those deliriously catchy hooks into the mix, that's when you know you're dealing with an altogether different beast. Call it sludge-pop if you will, or melodic metal (okay, maybe not that)—I just [...]

"It took us more than 18 years to come over and tour the US decently, so we're very excited to finally play all those cities we haven't been to before and hopefully make a lot of new friends," says vocalist Ingo Knollman of German pop punk band Donots - surprising for a band who has toured with the likes of Rancid, Blink-182, Green Day, NoFX, Iggy Pop, Weezer, Rise Against and Jimmy Eat World. Celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, they will be touring with the U.S. in support of their ninth album Wake The Dogs (Ok! Good [...]
