Earlier this year, I received notice that Flogging Molly was touring again this year. I couldn't have been more excited. I've only seen the band one other time, and I had to drive to Cincy in a snow storm to do it. It was a great show, but it's definitely the type of show to enjoy with a pint or two of your favorite brew. Luckily, they are coming to Indy this year, and I will be able to enjoy that pint. No driving == many pints. :)
So I'm checking up on music news tonight when I notice that the Eels released a retrospective tonight, Flogging Molly are set to release a new album in March, and.... What??!!! Okay, am I the only person who didn't know? This would explain the new tour though.
Like any over-eager fan, I ran out and found a leaked copy and have spent the night listening to it. It's good, but it's a much more mature sound than their previous albums. The songs are little less raw and maybe lack the fire and sadness that infused so many of their previous songs. I'm not really good at album reviews; so, I'll share the title track with you and let you decide how you feel about it. I'm hoping they have the new album for sale when they tour through here. Show's in February and the new album releases March 4th.
I just wanted to share in case your friends had neglected to mention the new album to you too.

The album is called Float. I pulled the album from Rapidshare; shouldn't be too hard to find.

This is the first track I've heard from them, Mike ... I've avoided this band, I can't think for any other reason than that I associated the name with Molly Hatchett! I'm pleasantly surprised. :)
My Trusted MOGs
Well, I guess we are going to have to fix that. :)
My Trusted MOGs
Your avoidance that is. (work is fragmenting my thoughts)
