Flogging Molly

Every major holiday has a soundtrack. Christmas, obviously, has its carols. Valentine’s Day can be summarized through a mix CD containing the Three Wise Men of Love: Marvin Gaye, Al Green and Barry White. Halloween has the “Monster Mash”. St. Patrick’s Day belongs to Flogging Molly, the LA-based Irish-punk band whose fourth studio album Float only further solidifies them as the quintessential band to narrate the festivities of March 17th. While Float continues to r... MORE

The age old adage that punk is dead has never been truer... and in the case for Flogging Molly, thank God. When Flogging Molly blitzed onto the punk scene with Side One Dummy in 2000, they helped breathe life into the dying genre. Sly comparisons were made to their likeness to The Bouncing Souls, The Dropkick Murphys, or even a distant one to The Pogues, but as the years progressed so did the compassion in their sound. The aforementioned similarities kicked aside with thei... MORE

Some may find it impossible to have a St. Patrick's Day hangover on February 10th. However, if a Flogging Molly show is involved, somehow is all makes perfect sense. Flogging Molly's Green 17 tour rolled through Detroit on a fridged Saturday evening that showcased some material from the band's upcoming album, Float, due out March 4th. This was the first time I have seen the band live and from my experience that night, it surely won't be the last. Everything was perfe... MORE

Sunday was a hard and lovely day. The day started with me struggling out of bed at 8:30 to get a bottle of water and collapse back on the couch for some more sleep. The night before was spent celebrating a friend's 30th birthday, and I was appropriately hung over. The hangover was bad enough, but the temperature had plummetted into single digits overnight. I had a double-date with Flogging Molly coming up in a few hours, and all I could think of was a warm bed and a lo... MORE

Happy sunday to wake ya up on supersunday (I really don't care about it) Here's flogging molly with devils dance floor.

YAY! Flogging Molly is coming to Indianapolis!!! Its been WAY too long! Feb 10, Vogue

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 ... MORE

Laura was amazing, as we can tell from the song, and she's gone. but he loved her. the song speaks to me of lots of things. it's kind of bittersweet. possibly their best song. in my opinion.

And so I submit to thralldom. But they can't keep me forever - 5 days to the weekend! Flogging Molly sustains me today.(muchas gracias to my wonderboy Johnny for taking care of me over the weekend.) ARG! FREEDOM!

I caught a Flogging Molly show last week and I must say the best part of going to the show, which was at an all day Irish throwdown, was seeing all the drunken fury following a hard day of drinking in the merciless Florida sun. Nothing makes you want to fight more than having a gut full of Guiness swirling around in your sunburnt bloated carcass(note the Irish are not known for their ability to tan so having the festival outdoors may have been poor planning). After standin... MORE

Deja Vu is a small music festival the faithfully takes place every year on the campus of Davis and Elkins College, a small liberal arts college in my town. There are always four bands that play, usually small unknown bands (some are quite good), but there is always one headliner on opening night. This year....Flogging Molly. These Irish rockers are great, and they definitely know how to put on a good show. It was awesome to see them and feels wonderful to be able to add... MORE

Here's a vid from my favorite Irish punk band in the world!
